Okay folks, as painful as it was the first time around...the rematch had finally been set. I LOVE this rematch for 3 reasons...
1. We have a chance to see who really wins. If Hopkins takes it, then he's still relevant (in regards to competing at the top level)...if Dawson wins, then, well...who gives a shit? (maybe because I dont like 'em). 2. It's free this time! Dammit! Thank you! That way, two of the upcoming fighters can take a vacant PPV date, and it shouldn't be out of the question (being the fact that they allowed this first fight hit the PPV circuit). 3. It's boxing! Who settles the score this time around? Thoughts? |

Im not sure what how much I had to drink the last time they fought ,... trying to forget that I actually purchased the PPV....... until I received the bill....
I will be pulling for my favorite boxer.. but I have a haunting feeling this will be it for him.. Dawson by an ugly decision.... |

Dawson by wide UD. B-hop will be going up against someone he can't bully/roughup in the ring. Dawson is to big and fast for B-hop, hell Dawson just might KO his ass this time.

Chad Dawson all the way. He will knockout Bernard, i'm sure this time in my opinion. I hope Hopkins don't pull a Zab Judah on this fight.

Not a fan of Dawson but I picked him by ud. He might even ko hops, he has that awkward athletic style like jermain taylor that Hopkins has always had trouble with. Im rooting for Hopkins because he has more entertainment value in whatever fight he can get after this than all of dawsons career up to this point. But i get the feeling dawsons gonna retire him

KO? i dont understand why people constantly keep predicting fighters that havent been KOed in there long career that they will, i thinks hopkins will win a close and ugly fight that will look like something, right hand by hopkins, and he clinches, unless dawson picks him up again. dawson will fade down the straight, get frustrated and do something stupid, am going for punching himself tyson fury style.

Very glad they are doing the rematch. We fans deserve it after that shit Bernard pulled. Could have been the worst night of boxing of last year had it not been for DeMarco upsetting Linares. I liked how Dawson was looking. Very strong and aggressive. Don't count out Hopkins though. He could edge out a decision in this. Holding off on my prediction for now

Dawson by UD, or possibly a TKO. I think that if Dawson can keep BHop on the outside enough with the jab and opportunistic combos, but also not get bullied on the inside, then he could get BHop out of there. As others have said Dawson looked strong and determined the last time and he has the skills to translate that into a possible ass kicking. I said "possible" and am not ruling out Hopkins by any means.
Dawson "punch himself, Tyson Fury style"....ha! This post has been edited by Cheesey1: Jan 27 2012, 09:45 AM |

i'm hoping dawson doesn't pull a robert allen and come into this rematch underestimating the old man. i'd like to see chad send bflop into retirement. he should have never lied to his mother on her death bed. war dawson!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/threaten.gif)
