Hopkins-Dawson Rematch 4/28 on HBO
GrantZilla Wed Jan 25, 2012 8:05 pm
Editor's Note: Golden Boy's CEO Richard Schaefer has advised BoxingScene that a deal with HBO has not been finalized but the two sides are having positive discussions.
BoxingScene.com has been advised by Gary Shaw, promoter for Chad Dawson (30-1, 17KOs), that a deal has been reached with Golden Boy Promotions for a rematch with WBC light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins (52-5-2, 32KOs). The rematch will take place on April 28th in Atlantic City. The fight will be televised on regular HBO, and not pay-per-view, according to Shaw.
They first met at California's Staples Center last October. The fight came to an early end in the second round. Dawson ducked under an incoming Hopkins, and used his shoulder to push the veteran off. Hopkins fell to the mat and suffered a shoulder injury. Initially, the fight was ruled as a second round TKO victory for Dawson. The WBC refused to recognize the verdict and returned the title to Hopkins. Soon after, Hopkins filed an appeal with the California State Athletic Commission, which resulted in the official verdict being overturned to a no-contest.
At last December's 49th annual convention in Las Vegas, the WBC ordered an immediate rematch between Hopkins and Dawson. The purse bid was scheduled for this coming Friday.

I find alot of Dawson's fights lacking in the excitement category. Same for BHOP. Put them together and it is about as exciting as having a discussion about your favorite chess openings.

Chad Dawson Concerned, Says Hopkins May Withdraw
NEW YORK — Chad Dawson still isn’t convinced Bernard Hopkins wants to fight him again.
“I don’t think he’s going to make it through training camp,” Dawson said. “Honestly, I think we’ll get a phone call two or three weeks before the fight and, ‘Bernard, oh, he dislocated his shoulder again. Oh God, it’s over.’ You never know. You don’t know with Bernard Hopkins.”
Dawson wasn’t joking. The southpaw from New Haven, Conn., firmly believes Hopkins faked the shoulder injury that ended their first fight in the second round four months ago in Los Angeles. He also sensed from Hopkins’ body language Wednesday that the legendary light heavyweight champion from Philadelphia isn’t completely committed to their second fight for Hopkins’ WBC title.
The 47-year-old Hopkins didn’t look directly at Dawson while they were on the dais Wednesday, nor would he partake in the traditional stare-down for photographers after the press conference concluded.
“With Bernard, you never know, especially when you know you can’t win, you know you’re not going to win,” Dawson said. “Everybody in boxing has a puncher’s chance, but he don’t have that chance at all. He don’t have a chance at all. All you guys are sitting around, looking like, ‘Yo, this guy’s crazy. This young guy’s crazy. Bernard’s a legend. He beat this guy.’
“But look at me right now. I’m telling you, this guy will lose. He will lose. I’m telling you. He’s going to lose. He’s going to lose bad. The fight might not happen, man, I’m telling you. He knows the difference between a Pascal and a Chad Dawson. He knows the difference.”
“I wouldn’t embarrass myself and my legacy,” Hopkins said. “To not show up, that’s not Bernard Hopkins. … Why would I not show up when I go to the hometown of another man [Jean Pascal], win his title and come back in front of 30,000 Canadians [for a rematch]? Why would I not show up when I go to Quito, Ecuador, a young fighter, fighting Segundo Mercado, when I got knocked on my ass twice and came back and fought my way to a draw? So now my heart is being tested through a rookie?”
Hopkins hopes Dawson (30-1, 17 KOs, 2 NC) continues to think there’s a possibility their rematch won’t happen.
“If you train [like] I won’t show up, you’re in trouble,” Hopkins said. “You’re going home early, baby.”

BHop doesn't look cut but he weighed in pretty low. I think he does better weighing a little less. He is very focused. The old man has one last great effort in him and Dawson is overconfident with Scully as his trainer.

BHOP doesn't look that cut for a reason!!! He is getting old. Your body loses muscle mass as you age. Even though BHOP is training hard and still is in great shape, he is probably losing a little bit of muscle mass each year and his bodyfat % (which is still very low), creeps up just a little.
