Dawson vs Ward

[Dia bando]

This could be a stinker, of a fight to watch it depends on what Dawson turn up on the night, he's big
and very fast if he's up for it he could beat Ward.

[Bobthepen]

Think I'll creosote the fence rather than watch those two fight...

[Kirkland Laing]

Shit to watch and Ward wins on points.

Dawson is a volume puncher. Wet and sloppy. Wards style is rather dry and chippy. Dawson will get smothered, butted, tied up and rocked to sleep by Ward and then hit on a break when he tries to push him away.

Andre ward style is like a coconut. Hard to crack, frustrating to get to and hardly worth the trouble when you finally get inside.

I'm picking Dawson.

Have you ever watched Dawson fight? He's super accurate and doesn't throw a ton of volume. Sloppiness is not his problem at all -- he's one of the technically cleanest guys out there; his problem, as many have pointed out, is seeming disinterested and taking rounds off (see the Pascal fight). If there's any fight he'll be super motivated for and focused in, though, it's this one. I'll give the edge to Ward, because he just seems to have a ridiculously high will to win on top of his skill level; but this is close to a toss-up and would be a total toss-up for me if Chad weren't dropping weight for it.

I'm afraid, if they were fighting in my back garden , I would draw the blinds.

I would love to watch this fight wish it will be on over here. This is an under rated fight which will only be appreciated after they have gone on to do bigger and better things.

You think it may be exciting,! to watch Dawson has skills but rarely uses them, Ward wins but at a cost
in his fights. I like to be entertained , I can't see there being much with those two, that's why I feel it
will be a stinker.

Lol that's cool man. Each to their own. I mean I like the Chacon/Limon battles as much as the next guy but I also enjoy a nice boxing match thrown in and that's how I see this one playing out. I don't see any Ibragimov/Briggs type bore fest here.

[bigstinkybug]

i'm expecting a great fight... too much talent to be a snoozer. I've been posting on Scully's board for 7 years or so..scully is Dawson's trainer...super guy. if u guys aren't familiar with John Scully,... just saying.. the guy is as solid as they come... real gent.
U guys have a great board here... but feel free to visit ice man scully's board... they don't post as much as here..but real smart guys...

I do appreciate a nice boxing match, but I feel there styles will not gel ,Ward is very dirty with his head
it's not unlike watching Hopkins, Dawson has all the tools, but most of the time fights like a tool , both
can fight very negative. I'm off I will open the blinds, I want a look a pig may be flying over the back garden.

I know a lot a people don't like watching ward, I don't mind his style other than when he's butting people but I don't view him as borring. Dawson on the other hand is just really frustrating to watch to me and I think ward beats him, dawson seems to dial it in far to often.

I disagree Inuit, any fight SOG is part of is going to be a stinker, and Dawson's fights aren't much better.

I seriously doubt that i'll even bother trying to watch it, this is on Showtime Sept 8th, the same night:

At Las Vegas (Showtime): Randall Bailey vs. Devon Alexander, 12 rounds, for Bailey's IBF welterweight title; Ajose Olusegun vs. Lucas Matthysse, 12 rounds, for vacant WBC interim junior welterweight title.
