There won't be a rematch - Hopkins said he doesn't want to fight when he's 40. He won't wait around for another DLH fight.
He will defend #20, then I really, truly think Hopkins and Jones make that fight happen. That will be Hopkins last fight.
Like I said, Hopkins is bigger, stronger, and smarter. He could sense weakness, and when he realized he could get one or two extra punchs throwing stinging jabs and sweeping left hooks to DLH's gloves, or head, knocking him off balance. He took advantage, threw all his body weight into every punch, and DLH was overpowered, overmatched. He took away the flurries, and IMO, he probably would not have lost antoher round from the 7th on.
