Ward v Dawson RBR/Pre/Post fight discussion master thread

[Sweet Pea 50]

Hoping for a great fight. Had plan's to go see this at Oracle live, but plan's fell through. I'vs always liked Dawson, but got to pull for Ward on this one. Huge tip of the hat to Dawson for going down in weight, and fighting in Oakland. War Ward......

Yeah that's the thing. Weight loss have a big impact on punchresistance and I have a gut feeling that Ward is out to set some kind of statement. I reckon that there's a chance he'd abandon the safety first attitude we saw against Green, who he'd surely have stopped if he turned loose.

Scully said that Dawson comes into training camp weighing around 180-182lbs and he doesn't even diet, it's not even 20lbs he has to lose. Dawson has to eat just to weigh 175lbs because he will lose weight if he doesn't. But then again Dawson hasn't fought as a SMW for like seven years, it will take time for his body to adjust.

If JCC Jr. can make 160lbs and he walks around 180lbs, I think Dawson can make 168 with little to no problems.

Ward has yet to face somebody as skilled as Bad Chad!

The fight being at 168 is Dawson's biggest hurdle if he can overcome that he stands the best chance against Ward besides Hopkins. Ward reminds me of a young Hopkins but with less power I mean young Hopkins could finish as witnessed in stopping toughass Glenn Johnson. But his inside game reminds me of Hopkins as nobody ever bullied Hopkins on the inside like Ward whose fought the strongest punchers in the division.

That's the thing though Froch, Kessler, Green, Miranda, and Abraham were all punchers. Like Hopkins I believe speed and technique will be his toughest battles. Even tho dirrell. *******t out I felt he was wards toughest test for his speed like Taylor and Jones Jr killed Hopkins with. Dawson is the most skilled boxer Ward will have fought as a professional and the fastest. These 4-1 odds are laughable easy money numbers as I said if Dawson makes 168 fine he will give Ward his toughest fight to date.

BOOKMARK THIS SHIIIIIIT! IF Dawson doesn't look weak or sluggish from the cut he will make history!

not history as much as waking mother****ers up

[Nahshon Israel]

Totally agree, I've couldn't have put it better!!

Well he certainly has yet to face somebody as boring.
