Dawson vs Ward

[Spicoli]

To be hones I'd take a solid crisp snapping jab over 10 wild sloppy hooks any day of the week. I always appreciated a technical fight over a brawl because anyone can brawl but it takes a certain someone with a very specific set of skills that is honed over the years to truly box.

Gotta agree. As long as a guy doesn't constantly settle in the backseat and refuse to press an advantage I love a solid chess match. I think Dawson is finally shaking that tendency to coast and both these guys are sharp enough to keep it fluid, let's hope! Brawling has it's own technique, different strokes for different folks and you have to know your limitations before you go ass end up like a Khan.

Agree completely. I've been wanting this fight ever since Ward became the favorite to win the Super 6. When Dawson is actually focused and at the top of his game, he is a pleasure to watch.

You have to give credit to both guys for making this fight. All can say is that Dawson better bring his A game.

Well he's not bringing his B game unless he starts to watch the fight while being in it like Judah.

He's fighting a guy that apparently he has no chance with and coming down a division to do it. Excluding Jones back to 175 after Ruiz, he's the first man since Armstrong I think.

My only thing about this fight is that it should have been at 175, although I understand why it is at 168. Ward may have more of an advantage that the fight is at 168 than Dawson would have if it had been at 175. But, listen, that's just me being picky, I'm excited about this fight, and looking forward to it.
