I've thought Dawson was moving sideways in career for awhile and lastnight was finally his step back. Slice it anyway you want but the fact he is going into his third (?) consecutive rematch says something.It baffles because at times he's shown to be a very smooth mover and fluid but cannot- will not sustain. Truthfully he looked drained. He was very concience of the bodyshots and was being effected by single punches. Early on he fought with little confidence and wouldn't sit down on his attack, you don't just 'choose' to do that. I think it's as much mental as physical with him and his post fight interview left alot to be desired.
