Would be a better gauge of Dawson's position in the world than the Adamek fights as Woods is more of a known quantity than Adamek.
Should be easy enough to make this fight, as they've both shown a willingness to fight the best.
Dawson has to be favourite after this weekend, but Woods is a live underdog and a gutsy fighter and probably physically stronger and certainly more experienced than Adamek was on Saturday.
i heard there was negotation with Tarver - Woods.
but if Woods fought Chad i think he will KO he Chad keeps himself open and Woods jab and crossess are coming to him easliy
iv always said adamek is a bum after seeing his 2 wars with another bum in briggs. clinton would have battered adamek imo. woods is very underated and vs dawson i think he has a good chance of beating him, although i would lean towards dawson.
just go watch his 1st fight johnson, many people were saying glen got robbed but that is complete bs, the fight was all even.
Why do you even entertain the idea that Woods is dodging Briggs? First I've heard of it. Briggs has to fight people better than Rupert van Aswegen if he wants a shot.
come on man, you think Briggs wanted to fight that bum..........he has no choice as nobody will fight him as he is too much of a risk...........Briggs is pretty much doomed as he can't even get to force fighters to fight him as he'd have to become no.1 contender and hard to do unless ppl fight him.
his only hope would be for a 3rd fight with Adamek, which he pretty much said no to...
thats his predicament at the moment, he is too much of a risk to fighters...
Adamek lost to Dawson simply because of his style and his camp underestimated Dawson...I would pick Adamek against Woods any day...
please elaborate on Briggs' fight?...dunno anything about that..
and the bigger fish to fry, that is always the best defence for a "Champ" trying to dodge other fighters...
by the way. HOW ON EARTH could WOODS fight a fighter like Jason Delisle for a defence, when he had already fought that bum a while back, yet say that Briggs is a small fish!!
Woods is gunning for Tarver in America, then perhaps a fight with Dawson.
Delisle was a stay busy fight, he fought Gonzalez and Johnson either side of that, hardly awful competition, is it?
If Briggs wants a shot all he has to do is fight someone like Glen Johnson first......

You really think Woods is avoiding anyone? Especially Briggs? Briggs struggled with a rather less than world class fighter at the weekend. If Briggs keeps fighting like that he won't get a shot at a top fighter.
Briggs needs to make a fight happen, Clinton has bigger fish to fry at the moment.

Briggs is the very person that Woods wants no piece of........instead he pick other fighters to defend against............yes he fought Roy Jones and got annihilated!!
Johnson, won a very close decision at HOME.....and Gonzalez, well he ain't bad but still a fringe contender...
I'd love to see Woods fight Briggs, but that wouldn't happen!

Adamek fought Briggs, we don't even know how good Briggs is, so Adamek's place on the world stag is difficult to work out. Woods has fought Glen Johnson, Roy Jones and Julio Gonzalez, people who have mixed at the top level for a long time.
I'm not saying Woods is the best, but he is more proven than Adamek.

lmfao...maybe in the UK, but i would never rate Woods above Adamek......perhaps not even now that he is beaten..
Woods is a good fighter no doubt, but not world recognised as being the top!!

When I worked with Chad I used to tell him all the time.."Sometimes, with certain guys like you, boxing is NOT brain surgery... you are tall, rangy, sharp, long jab, elusive, great counter puncher, young etc... you don't have to do a million things in the ring...like we did against Carl Daniels... just establish yourself and if your opponent doesn't adjust then keep doing what you are doing. stick the jab, drop in left hands when u have to"....if he stays with that formula who can beat him (provided his chin is strong enough to not go down or recover quickly if he does) ? It may not be exciting but it would work . Put it this way..when he tried out for the Contender Season 1, no disrespect to anyone on the show, but they didn't choose him and I would have to bet that a big reason was because SRL or whoever scouted him realized that the show would be one sided if Chad decided to BOX those guys.
dawson wins by outboxing woods
i thought woods beat glen johnson but he shown hes at times to easy to hit
That's how I see it, I'd love it if Clinton won though.
Clinton's best chance is if he exploits the ? over Dawson's chin.
