Ward will probably switch hit a lot in this fight I suspect as he did with Kessler. Some people are board stiff unless a knockout is likely or a fighter essentially dominating another. I am not one of these fans and appreciate a good technical boxing match the few times they actually happen.

No dog in the fight but Ward on points. Most likely a UD. I see its essentially in his home town again
I'm not to thrilled about this fight Inuit, but I probably watch it just because It's boxing and I have HBO. Why is Dawson giving up all his advantages, fighting Ward @ 168 in his nest in Oakland? I predict that Ward wins an ugly stinker, that's not worth watching, at least these 2 boring fucks had the wisdom to not put this shit on PPV.

The undercard fight will be the one to watch = Antonio DeMarco vs. John Molina, 12 rounds, for DeMarco's WBC lightweight title.
Good post.

I hear you Mars and kinda torn on this also. I also do not like what had to be muscle shedding Dawson most certainly did. I'm not a catch weight fan but they could have done something here and left the trinkets off the table. This reminds me a bit of Leonard/Lalonde in reverse lol.

Having said that, a boxing match might break out and in this world of instant gratification I enjoy those one in awhile. I'm eager to see what Dawson looks like at the weigh in. If I'm him I'm coming in heavy. Screw the tin. It's not like I'm going to defend the dam thing.
What i'd really to see is Chad knocking Ward out, or at least kicking his ass. I'm not a fan of Dawson, but I can't stand watching Ward, part of it has to do with that S.O.G. bullshit. Chances are i'll watch a few rounds of the fight, and if it looks like a stinker in the works, i'll turn it off and watch a movie. If somebody else wants to do the fight thread for this fight on Sept. 8th, please feel free to have at it.
