By Dan Ambrose: Chad Dawson (30-1, 17 KO’s) wants to be the first to knockout 47-year-old WBC light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins (52-5-2, 32 KO’s) when they meet up on April 28th in their rematch at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Hopkins has to follow Pascal blueprint to beat Dawson
By Allan Fox: If WBC light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins (52-5-2, 32 KO’s) wants to walk out of the Boardwalk Hall arena still the in possession of his World Boxing Council title on April 28th, he’s going to have to follow Jean Pascal’s blueprint in how to beat the younger 29-year-old Chad Dawson (30-1, 17 KO’s).
Mayweather Sr: Dawson will beat Hopkins
By Dan Ambrose: Floyd Mayweather Sr, the former trainer for two-time former WBC light heavyweight champion Chad Dawson (30-1, 17 KO’s), believes that Dawson will beat WBC light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins (52-5-2, 32 KO’s) on April 28th in their fight at the Boardwalk Hall, in Atlantic City, New Jersey, U.S.
Is Hopkins kissing his WBC title goodbye against Dawson on April 28th?
By Dan Ambrose: WBC light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins has finally started to show his age after all these years. At 47, Hopkins is one of the oldest world champions of all time and that’s a testament to how good he is, but also how poor the light heavyweight is at this time. For him to beat WBC champion Jean Pascal with ease last year gives you a good indication about how weak the division is right now.
Dawson ready to finish off 47-year-old Hopkins in rematch on April 28th
By Dan Ambrose: In a training photo sent by Chad Dawson’s trainer today, you can see that Dawson, 29, is in excellent shape for his rematch with WBC light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins (52-5-2, 32 KO’s) slated for later on this month on April 28th at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Hopkins must find an answer for Dawson’s superior skills
By Dan Ambrose: I’d say that WBC light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins (52-5-2, 32 KO’s) is really up against it in his rematch with Chad Dawson (30-1, 17 KO’s) on April 28th. This is not a good fight for the 47-year-old Hopkins. I don’t think he’s shot, but Hopkins has clearly slipped a notch since his win over former World Boxing Council light heavyweight champion Jean Pascal last year.
Hopkins won’t have the youth or speed to beat Dawson
By Allan Fox: Bernard Hopkins is looking at a one-sided loss coming up real fast on April 28th against former two time light heavyweight world champion Chad Dawson (30-1, 17 KO’s) at the Boardwalk Hall, in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Dawson vs. Hopkins: This time Chad will get win and keep it
By Dan Ambrose: The last time former two-time WBC light heavyweight champion Chad Dawson (30-1, 17 KO’s) fought WBC light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins (52-5-2, 32 KO’s), Dawson got the win by a 2nd round TKO win Dawson lifted Hopkins off of his feet and shucked him to the canvas in the 2nd round of their fight last October.
Cleverly-Hopkins fight likely won’t happen due to Dawson beating Hopkins on April 28th
By Dan Ambrose: It seems that WBO light heavyweight champion Nathan Cleverly’s promoter is getting way ahead of himself with talking about a unification bout between Cleverly and WBC light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins for the summer in Wales. Even Hopkins’ promote Richard Schaefer is talking about the fight possibly taking place.
Hopkins can’t get beaten too badly by Dawson if he wants to get the Cleverly fight
By Dan Ambrose: It’s pretty much academic at this point that 47-year-old Bernard Hopkins (52-5-2, 32 KO’s) will be losing to Chad Dawson (30-1, 17 KO’s) in their rematch on April 28th at the Boardwalk Hall, in Atlantic City, New Jersey, U.S. That’s pretty much a given. Hopkins is way too old, way too slow and way too fragile to come out on top in this fight. The thing is Hopkins has a nice paying bout looming ahead against the WBO light heavyweight paper champion Nathan Cleverly in Wales this summer if Cleverly doesn’t get stripped of his title for failing to fight his mandatory challenger.
