Is Ward wearing lifts?

I enjoyed meeting both of these guys today. How can anyone see how both guys fought the best in their divisions and are now fighting each other and not be impressed! Ward and Dawson were very polite and nice to me. Dawson is one of those guys who is not into games and BSing, he is a serious fighter and I respect that. I was in the third press row, great view.

Pumped for this. Should be a good fight. My gut is saying Dawson.

I've got Dawson in an upset even though it's not really an upset, he has more natural talent and I think his mindset is right now

I would be rooting for Andre Ward if he moved up in weight. I'm a bay area native too. I would be way more excited if he moved up to fight Chad Dawson.

Well, in fairness to Ward, Dawson called him out. Not the other way around. Dawson said he wanted Ward, and that he could make 168 with no problem.

Cool, I figured Dawson was 2 or 3 inches taller. Not sure it'll make much difference if Ward can stay close.

Can't wait to see Ward try to get on the inside, Dawson then pushes him off & gives him a look like..

''did you see the first Hopkins fight when he tried to hug me motherfukkka"

This is going to be Ward's toughest opponent ever. Dawson has a real shot at beating him.
