Dawson Has The Style...
http://thesweetscience.com/news/articles/1...opkins-lotierzo
I have always enjoyed Frank Lotierzo's work. He's currently over at The Sweet Science. Sound insight/analysis. We'll see how this fight plays out. On paper it appears to be a tough styles match up for the 46-year old. Fights aren't won on paper. My money will be on Hopkins (either to win outright or by dec), and then lay a little on the draw. We'll see. I notice Hopkins commenting that Dawson was wearing boots at the final presser to appear taller than he was. I keep seeing Dawson listed as 6'1", while appearing to be 6'3". We'll see. Holmes, Eastman, Tarver...all tall guys. 2 out of three southpaws. I'm wondering if we see this cat landing those lead left hooks the way he was bouncing them off Eastman's dome. That was many moons ago. Otherwise, how bout them jailhouse rights? Oh, this was a good video too...why no fucking face-off for this fight. shit. No nothing. http://www.hbo.com/boxing/inside/ring-life...rd-hopkins.html Quote:Dawson Has The Style, But Dare You Pick Against Hopkins? LOTIERZO |

Man...if ever there was a fighter that just didn't have "it", Chad Dawson is him.
He has a 2 cent head...the Johnny Mitchell of boxing if you will...and when it is all said and done, he either gets picked apart boxing or swinging. No chance I roll with Not So Bad Chad. |

Nope, I gave Pascal a good shot, but not Chad. This might end up looking like Hopkins-Pavlik.

ANYONE else in the fight game who had the tools Chad has, I would be picking to beat BHop in this fight. But that is going the assumption that most other would also have in their toolkit, a set of nads. JD is right, whatever "it" is, Dawson is lacking it. I'm not a great fan of BHop, but i'm looking for Hopkins to steal what little heart and soul Dawson has by the mid rounds then clown him for the later rounds a la Pavlik.

I'm biased against dumb fighters, but Dawson does have a good shot here...hard to know if he's gonna show up, and Hopkins will finally look his age...
That's what it will take... |

Dawson has to be willing to punch at elbows and air to win this one. Not sure if he's that type of fighter to just throw when the openings aren't clearly there. |
