•Jun 20, 2012

By Ryan Maquiñana - This week in Northern California boxing was supposed to begin with a Tuesday press conference at Oakland’s Oracle Arena. The principals were homegrown super middleweight champ Andre Ward and light heavyweight king Chad Dawson, who will descend to 168 pounds for a Sept. 8 HBO-televised main event. However, Dawson (31-1-0-2 NC, 17 KOs) was unable to attend due to a family illness, causing the presser with Ward (25-0, 13 KOs) to be postponed until a later date. Despite his absence, “Bad Chad” was still accessible for comment earlier in the week to start the wheels turning for a card titled “World Champions: Made in America.” “That’s what boxing should be,” Dawson told BoxingScene.com/CSNBayArea.com about his upcoming contest. “In the Ward-Dawson fight, you got two of the best guys, two world champions in their divisions fighting each other. This right here should be the first step to bring boxing back to where it should be.”
