I'm proud of Hopkins!

[Mr. Philadel]

you're completely guided by the hbo broadcast crew.... 1 cut was ruled and shown to be accidental and the other was shown and proved to be caused by a hopkins lead left hand........

and as for getting outclassed, I have to say you know nothing about bboxing ring generalship as well as the nuances of an offensive defense. hopkins picked off a lot of dawson's shots, as well as made him miss, also, chad was getting credit for everything he threw, not matter how ineffective, all the while I was watching hopkins land cleanly and compubox rang up nothing, that was clear as day to see during the rounds, and the broadcast crew FAILED miserably to report on any of hopkins success inside the ring..... not to mention, eddie cotton is one of the worst refs of all time, a guy who will NEVER LET FIGHTERS FIGHT ON THE INSIDE AND WHO ALWAYS STOPS THE FIGHT ACTION IF THE FIGHTERS EVEN GET CLOSE TO ONE ANOTHER, just watch ALL of cotton's fights, he's a ****ing joke to say the least.

but look at dawson at the end of the fight, did he look like someone who felt he won the fight, i don't think so, he looked discouraged, he looked embarrassed in knowing what happened and what he has to now say after getting the nod. all dawson did was suck hopkins d!ck after the fight, he was damn near speechless......
and how can anyone not say SET UP, with DAWSON calling out WARD!!!!!! hhhmmm two gary shaw fighters!?!?!?

isn't there better fights for dawson??? idk, maybe try and avenge the loss to pascal? idk, maybe fight someone IN HIS OWN DIVISION, how classic is it for DAWSON to call out the SMALLER FIGHTER!?!?!

chad dawson won because they're going to try and bank on him, which they couldn't do with hopkins, whether hopkins is young or old, because hopkins is a man who actually sticks to his game plan(s).......

bottom line, dawson did nothing to TAKE the belt..... i am pretty much done with boxing, it might as well be WWE....

for the simple fact that dawson calls out another shaw fighter...... GTFO, how ****ing LAME!!!!

Church!!!!

its so easy for people to get brainwashed.....but that fight was a DRAW! Hopkins made it boring which is what he wants so he is in control. chad needs to show that he is winning not keep it close. Hats off to B-Hop, chad should be ashamed of himself for not showing that he can beat a 47 year old man. Andre Ward will take care of chad.

Brainwashed? People a blind man would have scored the fight 9 rounds to 3 for Dawson last night. HBO had Dawson, SKY had Dawson, NSB had Dawson, and just about every non-biased observer had Dawson winning the fight clearly. Grandma Bumpkins fans are the brainwashed ones by Bernards delusional robbery talk.

Not sure what fight you were watching.....Hopkins did great for his age for he clearly lost the fight.

I'd be more proud if he didn't constantly hold and headbutt for the whole fight with some occasional flops around the ring.

And to not try and claim he won a fight he was clearly dominated in

This right here.......

[Atreyu Khalil]

holding is a very smart thing to do when your up against a younger stronger man

No!!.......not taking a fight vs a guy you know that you can't defeat or compete with unless you are leading with your head or holding is a smart thing to do


How can you support that kind of performance?

what do you mean? This obviously wasn't hopkins best performance nor was it crowd pleasing and he lost clear, but the old man did what he could to slow down the pace against a younger faster stronger more athletic opponent. Not sure what you expected going into the fight but hopkins was up against a tough task, he brought out all the tricks out the bag and it wasn't enough. Credit to dawson for staying course and keeping his composure. Still though, I'M proud of hopkins, I don't care if you aren't.

I'm satisfied to know that no fighter he supports would ever take that kind of risk. None, not a 1.

Slowing down by holding, head butting and fouling? He didn't do that by boxing.....Mayweather slows his opponents down with fundamental/skilled boxing and not by Continuous dirty tactics.....

I didnt expect anything from Hopkins that didn't happen last night.....

I am proud of Hopkins longevity but last night was just ugly and pathetic

Floyd isn't 47. When Hopkins was 35 he was whooping ass.
