Bernard Hopkins vs. Chad Dawson Boxing Odds

Hopkins, was the middleweight champion for ten years, notched a record 20 successful title defenses of that crown. A proud native of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Hopkins rebounded from a seemingly dead end struggle with life in the streets and a stint in prison to become an inspirational figure who has proven that hard work and determination will allow you to overcome any odds.

At just 29 years old, New Haven, Connecticut's "Bad" Chad Dawson (30-1, 17 KO's) and former World Champion, has wanted a shot at Hopkins for years, will finally get his opportunity to stop Hopkins from continuing his record-breaking journey. Chad Dawson will prove to the world that his age advantage will be a significant factor on fight night. He is a strong warrior, with power in both hands, who never backs out in an exchange of fists.

Dawson has successfully defended his WBC Light Heavyweight belt against tough opponents including Tomasz Adamek, Glen Johnson and Jesus Ruiz. Only Jean Pascal stopped the undefeated record of Dawson and took the WBC belt. For Chad Dawson, this is a life or death fight. If he loses this fight, he does not know where to go next.

In addition to this championship main event showdown, the televised pay-per-view undercard will also feature Antonio DeMarco vs. Jorge Linares in a 12-round fight for the vacant WBC Lightweight World Title, Kendall Holt vs. Danny Garcia in 12-round bout for the vacant NABO Junior Welterweight Title which will also be an eliminator for the number one rating by the WBC and the number two rating by the IBF and Paulie Malignaggi vs. Orlando Lora in a 10-round welterweight battle.
