Comments Thread For: Dawson Unfazed by Weight Loss, Vows War with Ward

[ShoulderRoll]

Dawson can make this fight very difficult for Ward if he snipes from outside. He's got the handspeed and the combinations to do it.

[chardrnm]

Ward I think is the favorite to win this fight and Dawson might win this If he will not get into inside fight with Ward which is a very intelligent fighter.

Does anybody know Dawsons fight night weights from previous bouts?

He was 187 against Diaconu and Hopkins 1

He's a big guy

[Russian Crushin]

Yeah, except Ward is in the power position when it comes to these two.

A Non-Title CW fight would have been fine by me as well, at something like 171-172.

Ward should have taken notes from Floyd on this one. Fight the guy at the weight he's a champion at and you tend to get more credit.

Why would it be non title?

Even if they fight at 171 and ward wins, he's be the lineal and Ring champ at LHW

I don't see how he can avoid getting into an inside fight with Ward.

I've only seen one fight where Ward didn't beat his opponent up on the inside and it was against Abraham where the referee wouldn't allow any inside fighting and I can't see that happening again.

good fight... potential snoozefest of a fight though...

Seconded.

I'd empty my wallet in a bet on it going the distance.

In fact there might be a whole round where they do jack **** except head feint each other.

Thanks. Yeah I was always thinking he was a fairly big LHW.Of course he is saying that losing the weight wont be a problem. He HAS to say that. But from the outside looking in it looks like it'll be a factor.

Add to that that the fight is in jOakland and you just know Dawson is facing an uphill battle.

LOL Probably the 1st round.

Get him Bad Chad!

I didn't know Floyd fought JMM at SFW.
