    I will be at ringside for this one -- I'm planning to get there in time to see the last non-televised undercard fight, just for the spectacle of seeing a couple of HWs duke it out 15 yards away from me.

    I like this card! Ward strikes me as a guy with much more self awareness and confidence and while BOTH can stink the arena out previously, I got Ward over 12. Demarco and Molina will be a solid scrap and looking for Demarco to finally get some overdue respect as a calculating sharpshooter. Vitali vs Charr..to be honest I haven't payed this one a second nor initial thought.

    Dawson and Ward promoting the fight, they seem way too friendly.

    Ward for the win all day long! Dawson has advantages that he neve has & never will use and that is why he will remain a so-so fighter stuck between having titles and challenging for them. Dawson has height & reach but he'll fight on the inside because he always does, he'll use only one arm because that's how he works....Dawson had potential but he's been disappointing to me although he has had a successul career.

    I think because Dawson has the height and reach, it will force Ward to take the initiative and therefore make a good fight.

    ....Dawson also has the Peter Manfredo/Luis Collazo fucked up grill going for him too, so yeah, he's going to lose because Ward will be encouraged to hit Chad hard enough and as many times as it takes to try and straighten those bastards out.

    Dawson has the whole toolbox set except for the heart. For this sole reason, I wouldn't bet a dime on him.

    I agree but sometimes I wonder if its heart or some kind of attention disorder. Like Judah its as if he starts to watch the fight instead of fight it. This could be a dud but it could also turn out to be a pretty dam good technical boxing match. Ward has never faced a southpaw with Chads skill level. The question of course for me is weight. After being at 175 for 6 years he would have put on muscle mass that stayed unlike Pascal who jumped back and forth constantly. I don't really think the weight is a big deal for the two classes unless you stay to long in one. Dawson could make history here and in many ways is in a no lose situation. Nobody in history has done this before Jones/Ruiz not withstanding. I just think its going to weaken him. If he pulls it out against this opponent it would be monumental.

    Cool Shza, I forgot that you live in the Oakland area, be sure and give us a report.

    cheers

    This is a very exciting fight between two elite boxers. The majority of people pick Ward on the cards and I have a hard time not agreeing with them. Ward has the weight and fight location in his favor. Dawson has faced better competition. His biggest win, over Hopkins, is better than any win on Ward's CV. Without the Pascal blemish, Dawson would be undefeated. Ward hasn't fought anyone with as much hand speed as Dawson. I root for Dawson.

    Heard some interesting things about Dawson. Most of it coming from the Iceman John Scully. He put on a great interview over at our radio show and told a few things about Dawsons previous training camps which I didn't know, about how short they always were. I think 3 or 4 weeks for Pascal. He didn't seem too dedicated.

    I quite fancy him against Ward.

    The interview is here somewhere just after 17 minutes if you wanna skip....

    On this forum someone said Miranda knocked down Dawson during sparring.
