Dawson needs one exciting defense b4 fighting Ward

percypercy14y ago

I think he needs to finish business with pascal, or fight cloud, cleverly or shumenov which would be at least be an entertaining defense before having a wrestling and holding fest with andre ward. dont get me wrong it would be a fight between to pound for pound worthy fighters but now is not the time for him to have two boring fights in a row if he wants to be a star.

I would love a rematch between the two,and there was nothing embarrassing about that fight..If ya need to know what embarrassing looks like,look to Khan Peterson..Froch fought hard and gave credit to the victory at the end,all ya can ask from a Champion... His effort wasn't embarrassing. He just got dominated to an embarrassing level by a vastly superior fighter. Only reason I'd want to see that again.

14y ago

I think Bute will beat Froch as long as he doesn't get robbed in Nottingham. But, if he loses to Froch then I wouldn't really care for a Bute-Ward fight. Perhaps a Ward-Froch rematch so he can embarrass him again.

That's if Bute get's by Froch(which I don't believe he will).. I think Bute will beat Froch as long as he doesn't get robbed in Nottingham. But, if he loses to Froch then I wouldn't really care for a Bute-Ward fight. Perhaps a Ward-Froch rematch so he can embarrass him again.

I'd like to see him fight the Pascal-Cloud winner. I'd like to see Ward fight Bute aswell. That's if Bute get's by Froch(which I don't believe he will)..

Fight Pascal Dawson...Calling out SMW,when the guy who beat that azz is right in ya div..Sad..:grumble:

14y ago

As long as he fights someone good, I don't really care. Dawson's spent too much time in his career fighting rematches or no one.

14y ago

dawson and exciting don't seem to go well together. He needs to let those damn hands go. I'd like to see him fight campillo then ward.

14y ago

I'd like to see him fight the Pascal-Cloud winner. I'd like to see Ward fight Bute aswell. yeah that would make their fight epic

14y ago

He should fight Ward ASAP. No more inactivity. No more waiting.

14y ago

This is what i think: Ward tune up in july Ward vs froch- bute winner in November Dawson vs Pascal in November Dawson vs Ward in may 2013

I'd like to see him fight the Pascal-Cloud winner. I'd like to see Ward fight Bute aswell.
