    Very tough to see who wins on 28th April. I want Hopkins to win but Dawson is young, south paw, better reach and more powerful.

    Who do you think will win?

    Judging by how the last fight was going i'd say Dawson but my gut say's Hopkins will do the business..

    I'm thinking the same myself. In the last fight (if I remember correctly), Hopkins wasn't able to land clean in the first round but then again probably just a slow start. He usually picks it up no problem around round 3-4

    Not writing off Hopkins just yet but Dawson should really be winning this fight. But hes inconsistent and dont think he has the workrate to force Hopkins to fight for every minute of every round and stop him from getting into his rythm. He won't be able to switch off or coast for parts of the fight like he usually does either. Gonna lean towards Hopkins on points in this one.

    I'm thinking the same as yourself but at 47 vs a 29 year old seems as though Dawson should win it
