How the *** was Dawson boring?

[potatoes]

Someone explain how a fighter who is able to use lateral movement, stop and throw 6-8 punch combinations boring? i cant believe some of the **** im reading here.

Most of these brutes and savages don't fully appreciate the sweet science of bruising.

How anyone could think that wasn't an exciting fight is beyond me. Granted, it wasn't Gatti/Ward 1, but then both guys are are a hell of a lot more skillful than those two. It was a great fight with great skills. Dawson is a very entertaining fighter. He has all the skills needed and yet uses them very entertainingly. He really showed up a good fighter in Tarver today and Tarver, despite being nearly forty, fought very well himself. He was still throwing many punches in the twelfth even after being knocked down. Good stuff.

I think Dawson has shown that he will be the future of the light-heavy/cruiser-weight divisions for a while to come. He has an exciting style with the skills to last a long time. The fact he can also be hurt or dropped every now and then just makes it more exciting.
