HBO/Sky Sports 1 - Chad Dawson vs. Adonis Stevenson Saturday Fight Night Chat

[Dia bando]

Stevenson sparked Bad Chad , is this the end of the road his last 2 fights ended in him getting
KO I feel this doe's not look good for his carer.
Two KO's on the bounce, is not going to do his confidence any good this could be the end.

Boy, was that ever a hellacious shot, eh...

I noticed Dawson's head didn't bang off the canvas. Good sign because when their head bounces off the floor, that's more damage.

Dawson was given a long count too, anyone notice, 2 extra seconds. Didn't matter as he was on his feet within the regulation 10 seconds anyway, and it's amazing that he got up from such a shot.

He was up at the ref's count of 7, but 9 seconds had elapsed.

Dawson appeared to be feeling out the rd, not going at top speed, whereas Stevenson was comin' out with his foot on the gas. Stevenson's top speed straight left beat Dawson's lazy right jab to the target.
I think Dawson will win the rematch should they do one. He'll adapt.

Dawson's liability is he consistently doesn't protect the right side of his head, and that's where he always gets caught. He carries his right hand low, he brings it back low. Even at 30 years old, that could be corrected with enough drilling and repetition.

I liked how Ward was commentating live and saw it in front of his own eyes and it belittled what he did to Dawson. He brought Dawson down a weight. Stevenson went up a weight and fought Dawson where he was strong and comfortable. Ward was just saying how good Dawsons feet were and then bang, down goes Dawson and Wards performance against Dawson.

They've been searching for an opponent for Ward and now they have one. I'm certain Stevenson would face Ward at a catchweight or perhaps even at 168.

Or perhaps at 175? Where he now holds the lineal light heavy title? Maybe?

Ward must be gutted, he's mauled, grabbed, held, butted and elbowed his way through fights to get to the point he is at now and Stevenson has just become huge in one round...
