    Your enthusiasm is admirable but this fight have no indications of being a great fight. You have two highly skill fighters that are going there to think rather than fight. Two guys that are not going to take risks. I dont know how that type of fight can be great. I will watch because I love the sport, but I believe you are crazy for thinking it will be great.

        Was SRL Hagler not a great fight??Both fighters came there with their thinking caps on..Just because a fight is not a Gatti Ward kinda blood and guts kinda fight,does not mean the fight can't be great...This is a misconception that a lot of boxing fans make...IMO..

          ...I promise you this fight will be nothing like Hagler SRL.

          Leonard was flurrying with 10 punch combos off the ropes.

          Ward will be clinching and head butting the entire night. While i'm aware that you have no problem with excessive headbutting feather fisted fighters.

          Your enthusiasm is miss placed

              What have Dawson and Ward done to show they can put it on the line or risk anything? I know all fights are not going to be Gatti/Ward. If I want that I will go to the local boxing events and see two guys swinging all crazy and throwing punches just trying to KO the opponent. For me, their style dont indicate a great fight. Neither guy is going to win each round decisively unless we get to see the old Bad Chad.

                Of course its going to be a great fight. A terrific back & forth bout with all sorts of adjustments being made. These two are the best at their respective weights and I believe Dawson wont wait til later in the fight to bring out his A game like he did with Pascal.

                Ward's a supreme technician so I'll be intrigued to see what his game plan is

                  I think you're crazy, it's gonna be a dull fight. Only enjoyable for those who like chess matches (I do).

                    Neither fighter is boring. I think its going to be a great fight. I want to see how Dawson reacts to Wards pressure. No, you're not crazy...

                      I kind of agree with this, if this fight does end up being boring the blame will fall on Ward. The guy is gonna try to spoil and clinch/headbutt every 15 seconds, I think Dawson and his team should really press this issue with the ref and expect Ward to be penalized. Luckily Dawson just had experience with the true master of that style and will come prepared for it, he just needs to LET THEM DAMN HANDS GO MORE.
