i've said it once...i'll say it again....bhop has bitch in him. i am totally shocked that he took this rematch. he's getting his ass beat if he comes to fight.

it may have been another genius mind fuck from Hopkins. If he can get get a young hard headed Dawson to swing for the fences then we might just be looking at another upset. (Even though that's what im wishing for). He's mad, no doubt about it, but it may lead to his demise.
Which leads me to my second point. A younger, stronger, Pascal beat Dawson. Thing is he didn't beat him using his youth or any of that. He took Dawson out of his game plan. Which we ALL have to admit only has a plan A. He doesn't have the ability to make in the ring adjustments and can't deal with great deal of activity. Bernard is a master with taking a fighter to school by slowing the fight to his pace and making it his.

I think Dawson should honestly give Bernard his due, and act like a champion. Not bitching about dumb shit like "oh he wont even look in my eyes".. and blah blah,.. trust me, the last thing Bernard is is scared of this dude ..

Absolutely on point Box! He's mad because of the way the fight ended, and most of us are mad because we ordered it. I, for one, wasn't that disappointed, because the undercards saved it, but oh well.

Im glad you referred back to the Pascal/Dawson fight, because he had Chad looking like a sitting duck. We all know that Jean "the beefcake" Pascal isn't all that technically sound, but he does have ways (pressure, bullying) of throwing guys off, and for God's sake, he takes risks, unlike Chad.

Hopkins is a master of taking a fighter to school by making it his fight, but that also leads to a boring fight most of the time. We all know that Chad will just stand there and look at you for half of the fight, so imagine him being off of his game in addition to that.

an innocent man never needs to explain he lets the video do the talking, but obviously the video isn't in his favour...

I agree.

Oh yeah, now that Box brought up Pascal/Dawson, I remember somebody else "suddenly" injuring their shoulder during the fight. Chad admitted it to his trainer between rounds, but when asked in the post fight interview, he said it never happened.

What a loser, now he blames Bernard for faking an injury just to cover things up and get out of the fight. This is pissed, but hey, it may cure us of boredom throughout the build up, and maybe the fight as well.
