Hopkins: Any Adversity and Chad Dawson Bails Out

By Mel Ohlhoft

WBC light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins (52-5-2, 32 KOs), 46, believes that he has his much younger opponent, Chad Dawson (30-1-1, 17KOs), already figured out. The clash on October 15 at Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. Hopkins made history by becoming the oldest man to win a major world title, when he won a twelve round decision over Jean Pascal in May. Pascal won an eleven round technical decision over Dawson in 2010.

Dawson claims that he was dealing with several issues when he lost his bout with Pascal, but Hopkins is not buying what he considers to be excuses.

"You know how many times I fought with problems, and won? That's what separates certain athletes from others, that's the separation of me and him. I don't care what I go through, I'm going to use it to win," Hopkins said.

“He has to prove that he belongs here. I have to prove that I’m special over and over again and I’m OK with that. I’m looking to put on a good show. Any adversity, he bails out. What happens in the ring when things don't go his way? I just have to give him some problems. We know what will happen. I already diagnosed him."

nah I'm cool with the $424 each ones. Looking for cheaper lol. I never been to The Staples Center before so if anyone has been there let me know on what type of seats are bad, especially for boxing.

Most I ever paid for boxing tickets were $75. And those were ringside!

I know this shit aint selling out though so I'm thinking about getting cheap seats then just moving down because it wont be full.

The Staples Center is good no matter where you are.
I've sat in the 100s and 200s, it's right there. I wouldn't pay a premium for what you think will be good seats. Margarito vs Mosley was $75 for the 100s and I swear I was right there by the ring. Solid seats.

My friend saw Klitschko vs Lewis at the very top for $30 or so, it was perfectly fine.

The Staples Center isn't really a place where you need expensive seats (ie- MGM).

I might go. If I do I'll be paying $45 for the 200s section.
Not that big of a difference at all. Really contemplating on grabbing 2 tickets.

Ya for sure, I'll PM you if/when I grab the tickets.
Let me know as well.

Parking is a bit of a pain. I park a block or two away for 10 or 15 bucks and just walk it. Anything even close to the Staples Center is $30+, and good luck trying to get out if you park inside the Staples Center itself.

So far it looks good. I'll probably order in a couple weeks. The tickets aren't going anywhere fast.

I usually show up about 30 minutes to an hour before the PPV goes live.
I don't care to get in and watch an 8 card fight.
The top 4 is good enough for me. Hit up some Panda Express, kick it on the patio, etc.

^^You do know with Floyd Sr he beat the breaks off Adamek. And Chad has looked like shit since he left Floyd Sr and that's a fact..

I'm laughing at what Floyd Sr said (calling him mentally retarded.)

I'm also laughing at the fact that Floyd Sr is calling someone mentally retarded.

These are two different things and neither has to do with Floyd sr being correct (which I agree he is and never implied otherwise) or incorrect.
