I didn't know Floyd fought JMM at SFW.

Lol!

Add to that that the fight is in jOakland and you just know Dawson is facing an uphill battle.

Name one instance when Ward got a hometown decision in Oakland. Go ahead, I'll wait.

He gets very favourable refereeing.

If Ward wins a close one, I'd like to see a rematch for Dawsons belt at 175.

Bute blew his chance in spectacular fashion, in my opinion.

Dawson is taking a huge risk moving down in weight and fighting in Ward's backyard. I just hope he wins.

Ward is dumb. He should have said F**k that, and just went to 175 for Dawson's titles. He would have become a 2 weight Lineal Champ and beaten one of the Top LHW's in the past 4-5 years.

He's going to get no credit if he beats Dawson.

I see your point but I think he gets some credit for beating Chad especially if Chad makes weight comfortably and fights well at 168. But you're right he should have opted to go to 175 and take Chad's titles from him.

I'm already THERE. Two elites fighting only a 90 miles from me? Shit, the last live fight I went to was Maskaev's last fight at Sac Memorial, lol.

I don't think Dawson is going to make weight comfortably, and even if he does and loses he could just say "Weight was a problem, I wasn't at a 100%" and Ward loses a lot of credibility just because of that.

If anyone can beat Ward I would say its Dawson but Chad doesn't have much inside game and Ward will make it rough fight. This fight could end up like Bradley vs Alexander.
