Wow... Chad Dawson a slight UNDERDOG against Hopkins

**The HOFF** · 07-23-11, 03:26 PM

Not going to pound this per say... but I do like Dawson.

**snake11eyes** · 07-23-11, 03:27 PM

What thats crazy. I'm going to get that now. Thanks.

**iQon** · 07-23-11, 03:34 PM

Will this fight even happen? Bernard has avoided Dawson for a few years now. Dawson/Pascal should have never even happened first. Pascal upsets Dawson and suddenly Bernard wants the same title shot Dawson was offering?

**snake11eyes** · 07-23-11, 03:35 PM

Just tried to put 500 on Dawson and 5d only let me put 100. They said I have to wait for the line to change before I can bet again.

I hate having my money tied up that long, but I don't think I can pass this one up. Kinda like the Klitscho fight. I waited for months for that one.

**rocky mattioli** · 07-23-11, 03:36 PM

certainly no lock...but given dawson`s style and the fact that he`s an uber-quick lefty,i think a play on dawson as a dog is in order....

and i`m a huge hopkins admirer...

**shady610** · 07-23-11, 07:18 PM

The thing is I have seen Bernard perform well recently. But the same can't be said for Dawson. Bernard should be a favorite and win

**NutsINyoMOUTH** · 07-23-11, 07:29 PM

Never bet against Hopkins...EVER...dude is the Randy Couture of boxing...you just don't bet against this guy...

If anything Randy Couture is the Bernard "Executioner" Hopkins of MMA.

Notice I said IF ANYTHING. Which in my book means NOT EVEN FUKING CLOSE.

Please do not compare Hopkins to some fukwit wrestler. And before you go on a tiride, yes I appreciate Randy at the age he was and still fighting and winning. But it is not on the same page, probably in a whole other library in my opinion. Hopkins has his addition in the archives of the State Library and Couture's is on the bottom shelf of your local library.

calm down over there

**rocky mattioli** · 07-25-11, 06:33 AM

as great as bhop is(and make no mistake,he`s an alltime great),this is a very difficult style match-up for him....tall,quick guys him trouble....not sure that the lefty stance is as troublesome for hopkins as your average guy...but the slick and quick guys?....

if taylor gave him fits,dawson should give him serious problems...

**Ian** · 07-25-11, 07:17 AM

Well that didn't take long. Both guys now at -120 on 5dimes.

**capone1899** · 07-25-11, 08:56 AM

I took a little of Dawson at +200

You're a moron...Randy and BHOP are usually written off as underdogs and they continued to win at an old age. Fukwit wrestler? Seriously? Wrestlers are better athletes than boxers...that's why they always destroy boxers in the octagon.

+200?! where do you bet? +200 is pretty amazing

**sirchadwick1** · 07-25-11, 04:47 PM

+120 on Hopkins
-160 Dawson

I think I'll wait this one out and take B-Hop at a nice +.

**Varker** · 07-25-11, 04:53 PM

this is gonna be a close fight.

**snake11eyes** · 07-25-11, 05:01 PM

I got Dawson at +120, +116, and +111. 5dimes would only let me bet 100 each time and then they changed the line. The next time Dawson was -110 so I didnt play anymore.

**snake11eyes** · 07-25-11, 05:06 PM

.No you didn't because there's no chance Dawson would be +200 against any light heavyweight.

Got a nice arb if u want at least

**kball15** · 07-25-11, 05:13 PM

Dawson is at -160 now. Moving FAST. Poor Judgement on the bookies part making Dawson an underdog.

**Czu81** · 07-26-11, 05:12 AM

I'm a Hopkins fan but this time I think Dawson will win, his workrate wear down Bernard.

Maybe you should go ask 5dimes what their opening line was before calling someone a liar.

They opened Dawson at +200/Hopkins -280 last Thrusday.

Last Thruday 5dimes opened Hopkins at -280/Dawson +200 I took Dawson at +200 for 1 unit, didnt check the line again until yesterday and by then it was -120/-120 .

Funny how you never came back after I said when and where I got +200 at. It must suck to brag how you got +120, +116, and +111 when others got +200

**yoyoyo** · 08-05-11, 09:32 AM

I've always thought Dawson was a bad, bad style match up for Hopkins. That said, I'm not sure I can ever put money against Bhop.

**ApricotSinner32** · 08-05-11, 11:59 AM

Someone show me where dawson was +200 I don't believe that. I seen dawson +100 early on.

I forgot about this thread. I had 3u on Dawson. 5dimes graded the fight right after it ended. I hedged 1u with Hopkins by decision for +194 right before the fight. Still don't believe anyone got Dawson at +200 that's just insane for him to be that much of a dog.
