Honestly.. I'm basing this off last nights fight ,which, IMO, wasnt the complete domination a lot of people made it out to be. I'm damn near in agreement with the judge who had it a draw as I had it 6-5-1 for Dawson (shrug), 7-5 if I don't score the first round even (which I did). the 7 rounds Dawson won, he won convincingly. There were a few swing rounds though that I felt Hopkins edged out with right hands and compubox was misclicking punches. The flurry in round 5 for exampel from dawson - the slowmotion replay between rounds showed that all 5 punches missed when Compubox said they all landed.
Ward, to me, is everything Hopkins was last night, x20. He will hold, he will use his head, on top of that, he is much faster, more active, better reflexes, countering ability, jab, everything is there that was missing from the old man last night.
The Dawson who fought Hopkins last night loses to Ward easy, very very easy. I just don't see how Dawson wins this fight based on his performance last night.
I'm not a Ward fan. I hate his clinching I hate his headbutting, but I respect the other skillsets he brings to the table and I'm a realist. Styles make fights, and based on that fact alone, seeing an expired version of Wards style last night do pretty damn good, I think he wins easy
