The fight didn't sell enough tickets so we got bumped up to $100 tickets. This is great for me, bad for Chad Dawson and the city of Hartford. During the fight, people booed even though Dawson was dominating the entire time. I know he's not the most exciting fighter, but this was a terrible display of a an amateur crowd. They would've been better suited to put this at Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun, the casinos.
Anyways, when I saw the fight live, I had it much closer, like the 2 judges, 115-113, but it must've been because of the negative crowd. After watching on HBO it was amazing how much I didn't take in Chad's dominance in the fight the first time.
Unfortunately for me, the poor performance of this fight in terms of ticket sales probably means I won't get to see anymore good boxing 10 minutes away from my house. Thanks a lot Connecticut. All you boxing fans from Connecticut who see this and didn't go to this fight should be ashamed. You have a vested interest in attending fights in your area and you made a terrible showing.
So anyways, Chad Dawson is one hell of a fighter and he'll be here for a while, so get used to it.
