Comments Thread For: Andre Ward Rises To a 4-1 Favorite Over Chad Dawson

[D4thincarnation]

Theres a good chance Ward simply wears Dawson down, the pace he set against Froch was crazy and that was with a broken left hand. I think he if can make Chad fight fast thru the first part of the fight he has a god chance of a late stoppage or easy decision. But Chad has the size and punch advantage for sure.

Ward doesn't fight at a fast pace and in was Andre that was slowing down in the Froch fight, if anything I would say Dawson edges it in the stamina department.

It must be the KO at the fists of Miranda that is the cause of this.

You got to be kidding me!!!!

Grappling, headbutting and elbows aren't what boxing purist want to see, hell it ain't even boxing.

Lot of spoiling in this fight

Exactly. Boxing dies a little every time the Mayweather's and Ward's are announced as the best of boxing.

Boxing is a blood sport. If I wanted to watch technique, I'd go to ballet.

Did you not see what Mayweather did to "blood and guts" Arturo Gatti?

I know you're joking as this statement is a disgrace to the sport of boxing.

Plus everyone knows that if you truly wanted the simplicity of blood and guts you would go and watch MMA.

Too wide. Heard Dawson is very good shape.

Damn that's pretty steep, I think the fact that its in Oakland is the determining factor cause even though Ward is dominant in most of his fights, the judges don't give his opponents credit...... Dawson is going to have to win rounds outright or he'll be disappointed with the judging come the final bell..... I like both fighters but would be absolutely delighted to see Dawson pull off the upset.

Since when does he have a close fight? Has he not clearly dominated every fighter in front of him? He's never gotten a gift and earned every win.
