I dont like to bet against B-Hop and is one of my favorite fighters but he'll lose this fight and get stopped for the first time in his career. He is 47 and Dawson is too big...too fast and too technically sound.

I would hate to see Hopkins get stopped in this fight, but it's usually the biggest sign for a fighter to think about hanging 'em up...especially if it's late in their career.

I think Hopkins is far too schooled and savvy to get stopped... especially at the hands of Dawson. I have no problem thinking Dawson may leave the ring the victor, but not via stoppage. |

I have no problem thinking Dawson may leave the ring the victor, but not via stoppage. I was just looking at how Pascal was able to hurt Hopkins in their rematch, though Hopkins looked spectacular. Chad is a bit more technical than Pascal, well, by a long shot, so I think Hopkins will get caught with something this time around. We will see though.... |

Too hard to call,
Hate going against Hopkins in rematches, but I think this time Dawson will have his number in a dull chess match. I believe the injury was legit in the first Hopkins fight. This time, Father Time shows up for Bernard. 116-112 on all cards for Dawson. Bernard might bow gracefully, or call everybody racist and go on a rant if it's a dirty fight. This is about 60/40 favoring Dawson. I would like to see a definitive outcome for either fighter just so we DON'T have to sit through a rubber match. UGGHHH! Jack |
