Dawson showed out...but he also showed weaknesses...one of those being that he doesn't fight with his mind but more his head. He made some critical errors in his defense & stuck his neck out there when he thought he had it in the bag...you just don't do that.

Another weakness? Maybe his chin. Even after the knockdown there were two or three times that I was seriously SERIOUSLY worried that an Adamek right was going to drop him. He did recover though...& that speaks bounds.

He's the champ now...so fight a lesser bout & then go for one of the other title holders...but not one of the oldies...because they are still a bit too oldies but goodies for someone as green as Dawson.

Again...impressed with him tonight...but he needs to fight smart for the duration.
I admit it was me who made a comparision to Roy Jones. I only meant the way he came forward with ceetain punches reminded me style wise of Roy Jones. Altho they are both Chinny, Dawson is not the 2nd coming of Roy Jones. He's quite good but Adamek just stood off him so that allowed dawson enough time to attack. Credit to Dawson tho he done well tonight.
