On September 8th, it will be a sad day in Oakland.

I've been rewatching Chad Dawson fights lately. Starting with Hopkins II all the way to Adamek. Chad Dawson is a beast. That handspeed of his is really dangerous, he's a very good combination puncher. He can beat Ward with activity, even if the punches are just landing on Ward's gloves. I can see Ward reluctant to open up at times. But this will be a close fight. Dawson is not afraid to trade and open up with 5 punch combos. I am pretty sure Dawson will be the aggressor and Ward will be the one moving back trying to box. If this fight is a stinker, it will not be Dawson's fault, the guy opens up a LOT, and comes forward the majority of the fight.

Or just the opposite.

Obviously you don't realize just how special Ward is...

I do indeed.

YOU don't realize how special Dawson is.

He beat the odds and dismantled Adamek when he faced adversity.

Why in the hell would he not do it this time?

Can we get a poll up? I'm curious to see who people are picking.

Ward will get in on "Bad" Chad and work him over on the inside.

Ward will win the fight
Dawson couldn't even handle sloppy, no defense, no stamina Pascal
Dawson seems like a guy who can't win a fight with his heart
if his skill alone doesn't create a mismatch, he'll choke
Ward has better defense and better inside game too
fight will suck, but Ward will beat Dawson
