    It is the first superfight for a while that I don't think I am going to watch. I just can't see Ward ever being involved in an entertaining scrap.

    He's too savvy.

      You have to ask yourself, have you seen either fighter in an entertaining fight? Personally, I have not. I understand they are skilled fighters, especially Ward, but that does not equate to a great fight. I will never hype myself up for a fight unless I know for sure that the fight will be great. I learned this with Bradley-Anybody, Hopkins-Anybody, Canelo-Anybody.

      Be honest with yourself, and make an honest assessment of how the fight is going to play out, based on styles.

        Yea, that's VERY unfortunate.

          You know what sounds better? Actually watching the fight and THEN making the assessment. Fights aren't fought on paper.

            I think it will be like Pascal VS Dawson, but Dawson trying to box and jab a hell of a lot more. It will show a lot of skills and IMO some very close rounds.

            Dawson is not easy to hit like Froch, Abraham, Bika and Miranda and has more skill than Kessler.

            To date IMO Kessler is his best win for me, I even bet that he would outright win the tournament after seeing that display. Still owed 50k from 2009 (when 50k was a lot).

            I just watched 24/7, it was very good. I don't care if boring, I like both guys.

              I think it will be a good fight because Dawson is not the type of fighter that just stops fighting inside so he won't allow Ward to Bully him inside and Dawson is a good fighter inside despite being a TALL FIGHTER and Dawson will push Ward off of him, he is not going to allow Ward to just Clinch him

              Plus it is a big stage for both to really impress a lot of fans who are expecting the worse from this fight anyway but you have some fans even if it is a good fight I guarantee they will still complain about this fight after it is over

                Why do some fans equate being good at all facets of boxing with being boring? I just don't get that. Then blame the boxer for being boring but never blame the other fighter for not being good enough to get the boxer to fight a different fight. Damn people actually blame the winner for winning and not the loser for losing

                  That's a shame that you never seen an entertaining fight from either fighter...Dawson Ademek was entertaining...Same goes for, Ward vs Bika Ward vs Froch Dawson vs Johnson Bradley vs Peterson Bradley vs PAC B-Hop vs Taylor B-Hop vs Jones..A bunch of good entertaining fights...
