Aside from being stronger, I don't see any advantages Dawson has over Ward, especially at 168, now if this was Ward's first trip up to 175 I'd think differently but as it stands...

Andre "S.O.G." Ward- Decision; Watch Dawson wait too long trying to counter Ward's right hands and get caught up with hooks, jabs, combinations and let rounds slip away one-by-one due to Ward's activity...

Edison Miranda KO Tony Bellew...if there's any truth to the rumors, I can see Miranda scoring the upset, he's looked MUCH better in his last couple of fights though some disappointing events (DQ, cut), I hope he bounces back with a big win.

Tomasz Adamek KO Travis Walker...Walker looks to be in good shape and always has a puncher's chance, dude can KNOCK. However, I still see Adamek stopping him somewhere around round 9, too much skill and endurance.

Marco Antonio Rubio KO Carlos Baldomir...I see him stopping Baldomir late in a sleeper FOTN, both like to come forward and throw a lot of shots, at 168 both should be comfortable and not drained, expecting a Latino war

Vitali Klitschko KO Charr...Only question here is when...I say Charr makes it to the 5th...

Lucas Matthysse Decision Olusegun...Olusegun's activity and jab will help him see the final bell, but Matthysse's power and pressure will rule the night. Would not be surprised if he stops him late...

Antonio DeMarco Decisions Molina...Molina will be outboxed, outgunned, out everything, stoppage very possible in the middle to late rounds, otherwise just a one-sided bout in favor of DeMarco.

6 out of 7 ain't bad!! :russ:

from the home of coca-cola, i'm not referring to s
Because Dawson called Ward out. It's not like Ward handpicked Dawson and told him he'd only take the fight at this weight.

And it's not even a catchweight. Ward was defending his super middleweight championship, not some championship that was made up out of thin air so he could break a record. :leon:

You mean the same way De La Hoya hand picked Pac and dropped down to 147 and Pac retired the nikka. But Pac gets no credit for that KO... It always goes back to "but he was drained" which he was... I'm just trying to understand the logic... So because Ward didn't call out Dawson, Are we not going to dismiss this fight too because Ward beat a "drained" fighter??

daswon looked physically powerless
Did Chad go from 168 to 185 overnight? :dwillhuh:

That one left hook in the 3rd fukked his whole night up.

AND GODDAMN DO I WANT THAT MARTINEZ KO OVER CHAVEZ!!! :laugh: @ this lazy lil prince fakkit. He deserves to get KO'd and Roach probably feels the same now.

Please lord give me that KO! :lawd:

I get the point you making breh and truthfully I think most cats just don't want to give Pac the credit because in hindsight nobody thought he was going to do what he did in beating Oscar so bad he retired that nikka. I looked at Oscar fighting Pac as some bully shyt cuz he originally was going to fight the winner of Cotto/Margarito but when Margarito became the winner dude started back tracking and suddenly wanted to avenge Mexico now.

You had more people picking Chad to win in this instance with me being one of those dudes. Dawson didn't look drained to me but he fought like he was. He couldn't pull the trigger and just looked flat so I do believe the weight affected him at least a lil bit, but that's not Ward's fault. Nobody made Dawson get short changed. He kind of set the table for himself so I'll give Ward his credit. He got a stoppage in a big fight against a top shelf opponent. We all could of gotten the same performance he turned out against Allan Green.

ward beat the shyt out of dawson as predicted. He's just too good. How could you possibly have manny over him in the p4p? IDK who ward even fights next that would even be competitive.
That molina stoppage was super early though

I think is Chavez jr didn't have to money to hire Roach, he would've been dropped a long time ago.

He kinda seems like a brat.

If he can't get Maravilla to move up assuming he beats Chavez, I say move up to 175...up there I don't see much competition skill wise but the weight change may make things more interesting...

i never thought of sergio vs dre
i don't see anyone including dawson at 175 being an issue i think he carries his power easy, but you never know with weight changes
dre is a beastly dude though w a boxers mind he's gonna continue being special
