who wins this fight S.O.G vs Bad Chad poll ?

I want Andre to win this fight. But since I am going to this fight I want to watch them go all out. I want to get My money's worth I ll be in the front row.

Logic tells you that Ward should win a UD but I can see Dawson pulling it off. I don't think it should be considered an upset because this is a very close and interesting match up. The reason why I think Chad has a great chance is because Ward has yet to face an elite fighter with that type of style, which is why I wanted to see him in against Dirrell. Yes he's looked amazing against the European style of boxing, his biggest wins being Froch, Kessler, and Abraham but I'm curious how he does against a slick southpaw with speed and power. If Ward dominates Dawson, I think we're talking top 3 P4P fighter here, maybe only second behind Mayweather.

I'm just disgusted that you're still allowed to post here. lol what did he do?

NO way in hell this fight ends in a kncokout. This fight reminds me of Alexander/Bradley and I think it will play out in almost the same fashion. these two are much better fighters than devon alexander and tim bradley. they're also big men.

I'm just so disgusted that this fight is at 168 and in Oakland. ****in pathetic that Ward has to have every advantage in every fight.

Ward by a Close Decision. Chad has speed and some power, so will be a great fight!

Ive gone against the grain and voted Ward by KO. Whilst he isn't the greatest knockout artist, his recent talk has been based around "Proving i'm the p4p best" instead of "proving im the best at 168". It looked pretty close that he was going to knock down Froch at least once or twice during those middle rounds when Froch, and Froch has a granite chin... i'm not sure how good a comparison it would be to compare Froch's chin to Dawsons, but you may also say that Dawson's totally different style wont allow for it.. but I disagree. I think he also said that he has focused more on his KO power now rather than his tactical ability for his fans and for his legacy. I think Ward feels he has something more to prove to the world, and at 168 he knows he has a great platform to showcase it... so I feel he may go for the KO, even despite Dawson's rival tactical ability. Just my thinking though

ppl are sleeping on dawson so bad its not even funny. the first man to deserve a decision against the great hopkins since the great RJJ in 94'. the only man except vitali friggin klitschko to beat tomasz adamek, or should i say DOMINAtE adamek. on top of that he beat tarver twice, johnson twice and harding. most fights in dominating fashion. bcuz he had an off night against pascal now ppl acting like they aint messing with a beast. like chad dawson isnt THAT dude. big mistake.. again dawson chose to come down, he wouldnt do that unless he knew what he was doing. im not saying hes gonna win but you cant count him out against anyone. i've seen dawson box live. best athlete i've ever seen in a boxing ring. the problem is that fights aren't fought on paper. dawson has never been the sum of his parts. he's always something less. whether it's a lot less (diacanu fight, pascal, etc,) or just a bit less (hopkins 2, johnson 1, adamek,) he can always do more ward is as good as he can be. if dawson finally lays it all out on the line he could make this into a great fight. i dont think he's ever going to do that. i used to. i used to think there would be a coming out party for dawson, that he would let his hands go, and he'd start kicking everybody's ass the way he should. if we have not seen it yet (he's going to be 30 in two weeks,) it's not going to come out. ward via decisión

boring ass fight......

ward intangibles win this one when the chance to step up and control the fight by letting his hands go chad will not throw ward will. ward via decision in a very close fight. these are two of the planet's best boxers. dawson has all the physical advantages. he's still going to lose. andre ward is going to the the top p4p fighter on the planet after this fight.

chad is the better skilled fighter overall but just doesn't have the fire. Ward will find a way to win

Ward is overall the better fighter IMO. But Chad will be there every step of the way.

this fight is utterly pointless. even if ward wins people will just say dawson was a weight drained corpse so he won't get any credit. they do it over 2 pounds. can you imagine 7 pounds? then again the same people that rip pacquiao for fighting cotto at 145 usually like ward so they will probably by hypocrites like always and completely forget. dawson chose to come down in wiehgt to challenge ward for his title. not bcuz he cant get a fight with ward at 175 but bcuz he wants to be S.MW champion. all ward did was accept the challenge. pacquiao forced a reigning champion to fight at a catchweight. he challenged him for HIS title but didnt allow him to defend it at the proper weight. as a WW champion cotto should have the right to be up to 147 lbs and he wasnt, thats bull****. if dawson wants to drop weight and challenge a lighter man in his division thats his choice and cant be put on ward, he didnt force anything on chad the way pacquiao did cotto. also dawson makes 175 without effort unlike cotto at 147, the reason why he chose to drop down and the reason cotto had to be forced.

Venue: jOakland Weight: 168. Dawson faces an uphill battle and Ward should win easy on points.

I hope Chad Dawson upsets Andre Ward but the heavy favorite outcome for this fight is Andre Ward by decision.

I root for Chad and I think it's not out of question that he could win a close decision with good game-plan and consistant performance, but Ward just knows how to win and with that additional weight issue I pick him to win in a close decision. It's great fight, would be even better if Ward could go up or they met half way...
