Like a true boxing fan, I'm going to optimistically await the following and then be disappointed when it doesn't happen: 1. Dawson pursues a rematch 2. HBO, knowing that Dawson will win, agrees to put it on WCB as opposed to PPV 3. Hopkins, mindful of the criticism he's gotten for being such a pussy, fights fair against Dawson 4. Because Hopkins checks his vagina at the door and adheres to the rules, Dawson knocks Hopkins out
Dawson punked out? WTF are you talking about? In what sense whatsoever did Dawson punk out? Did you mean to say, Hopkins?
1. I don't think Dawson should demean himself. 2. Thats exactly what HBO would do. 3. Hopkins never fights Dawson again. He's already gotten what he came for: his belt and money. 4. See 3. I really like boxing.
Its fucked up. 20 years ago this wouldn't have happened. Dawson is a young pup who might just have found a lamp-post all of his own in the form of Bernard Hopkins. Two decades ago, people would have simply looked at Bernard, realized he was a washed up PR disaster, and dumped him. But today? :shit:
Let them fight again......just like the first time...I won't watch.... I woke up at 2-3am in the morning to take a piss....check on fightnews Dawson stop Hopkins in 2....and I went to sleep..
Hopkins is the man..defense king of middleweights..all time hall of famer...and one of the Kings of Philly boxers....also gives a lot of time and money back to the inner city of Philly... even rooted for him live at the Garden over my boy Tito..only time I ever rooted against Trinidad...The walking boxing clinic...B-Hop is one of the best things ever to happen to boxing...clean life, fights with thought, never comes into the ring unprepred like a lot of fighters... and executes....GS
I type fast. Collectively, I'm probably not here for any more than 20 minutes a day. Now, your day might be 20 minutes long but mine ain't. I really like boxing, and would like to spend more time here.
:: You're here all day, mate. Gonna give you a day off, believe me, it's not for me - it's for you. Enjoy it.
Steve, you've been categorically man-handled and back-handed by me every time you've gotten into an exchange. You've resorted to cheap threats about bans and time-outs, this is the third time now in one week. You've resorted to lame jibes about employment. You are Bernard Hopkins in the 11th round of the Joe Calzaghe fight. I give you time off. You don't give me time off.
Let Kessler get a shot at Hopkins. He needs more losses to white guys and he'd get manhandled by Mikkel.
Kessler will only whinge "He spoilt my boxing" ... I'd prefer Hops fight Ward, and make history by becoming the oldest man to retain his title twice in a row by way of no contest.
Id like to see it again just to see if dawson is an overratted fighter or not, cause i gave the first round to hopkins
