Dawson vs Ward

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.

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.
