Dawson Beatdown By Sparring Partner?!

It's a bullshit press release generated by some idiot who goes from one message board to another in hopes that someone's dumb enough to actually believe it, much less post it. Sadly, a couple of sites have run some of these releases, which only goes to show that there are in fact too many boxing websites these days.

Some poster was on here named paperchamp and kept posting anti-Dawson articles, including this one. He probably 'runs' 'The Paper Champ Society'. Donovan banned him a few days ago.

it's fake. some hurt bitch is trying to slander dawson.

That's what I initially thought but I wasn't too sure like. Did throw me a bit though.

I just found this article while browsing on Facebook but don't know how true it is. Might just be a bias article but here it is: (October 30, 2009) – Multiple sources have confirmed to The Paper Champions Society that Chad Dawson did not look impressive in a recent sparring session, in preparation for his November 7, 2009 light heavyweight title defense. Many boxing observers have installed Chad Dawson as the favorite and predict a victory in his upcoming rematch against Glen Johnson. "The boxing career of Chad Dawson is in a dangerous position that reminds me of an avalanche," said Frank Davidson, senior vice president of the Paper Champions Society. "There is too much pressure built up and the bottom is about to drop out from under him." "The reports about the one sided beating Chad Dawson experienced in sparring doesn't surprise me one bit," said Frank Davidson. "This report about Chad Dawson's sparring woes reminds me of the classic of the 3 little pigs story." Instead of building a strong foundation in his boxing career, Chad Dawson built his career around an over inflated hype machine. "What is Chad Dawson gonna do now that his sparring partner smacked him around the ring and knocked down his house built of straw." "Chad Dawson is fighting at home in front of thousands of his fans, there is no excuses for a letdown in sparring this close to the biggest fight of his boxing career." Frank Davidson is confused by the lack of focus in preparation for his rematch with Glen Johnson, who had Chad Dawson running and holding on for his life. "I am not a betting man but I advise anyone with a couple of bucks, make a bet on the underdog in this fight." "In the pro boxing landscape the career of Chad Dawson is a ill conceived mirage, created by the boxing establishment to disguise him as the next boxing superstar." Chad Dawson is nothing more than a pawn in a shell game, concocted by shysters looking to take advantage of him. "The sport of boxing is a tough business and it looks like Chad Dawson will learn that lesson the hard way." "The boxing establishment can build up Chad Dawson and say he is the next Godzilla," said Frank Davidson, some fans will believe the hype but the real fans won't. The only thing that matters is what happens when the bell rings in Hartford, Connecticut on November 7, 2009. "There's and old saying in boxing that pressure busts pipes, in Hartford, Connecticut on November 7, 2009, the pressure will be too much for Chad Dawson to handle." Will Chad Dawson survive and retain his world title? The answer to that question will be answered on November 7, 2009.never heard of Davidson, the paper champion society, or of any sparring incident with Dawson. But who gives a fuck about sparring. Anyone who has ever sparred more than 20 rounds in your life knows you WILL LOSE sparring sessions. There are times when you try different styles or are working on different things in there and they don't work out. Can't forget about style matchups. You spar to learn, and you don't really learn shit if you always win. As a trainer you worry about your fighter getting their ass handed to them throughout an entire camp because of A) injuries, B) psychological and confidence issues from constantly losing. All that matters is what happens when the gloves shrink, the headgear comes off, and the bell tolls. Until then, I don't give a fuck about any camp news unless it's about an injury, or a fight being called off for weight issues. Until then do interviews and wait till the lights turn on and the action starts.

I've seen these articles before, pure hate and bias clearly. I don't put any merit in that article.
