Comments Thread For: B-Scene Staff Predictions: Andre Ward v. Chad Dawson

[WESS]

I love how this fight has the neighborhood divided...MOST fans are picking Ward while MOST ink layers are picking Dawson....thats what I call a 50-50 fight!!....I got Dawson

and you have no reason not to. Dawson is a beast but I have to go with my gut feeling and say Ward gets the decision. Now is this a fair decision or a controversial decision? Not sure but I see some kind of decision in favor of Ward.

Anyhow this is a damned good fight that the casual boxing fans will hate and cry about all day. Can't wait for this to go down!

I know Dawson was dropped by Adamek. I forgot who else dropped him.

I don't think he goes down very easily at all.

in a fight he completely dominated apart from that single lapse in judgement. Ward doesn't have the power to rock Dawson with a single shot. This will be a tough night for Ward if the weight isn't a factor. Iv'e got Dawson in a close one.

Yea but you don't think Dawson is looking to make a statement himself?

Absolutely.

I don't think he will be able to though. A lot of people is dismissing the weightloss thing, while I strongly believe it will have a big impact. Either Dawsons workrate will be even lower than usual or I reckon he fades significantly down the stretch.

Nevertheless it will be an interesting fight, but I seriously doubt that it will be entertaining.

Harding had him down as well.

Everybody in my family was actually at that fight except my mom and me. I have pictures from my brother of it like I could pass off I was there if I wanted to. Dawson did pretty much dominate, and Adamek does punch harder than Ward. Not as accurate of course.

I'm curious to see what Dawson's fight night weight will be. If he's weighing around what he weighs on fight when at LHW, I won't read into it that much. However if he is significantly lighter, than it could very well have an impact on his performance. It will be interesting to see. I hope they cover this aspect in the broadcast.

Sukachev is spot on.

Harding is a complete mystery to me and was a good fighter.
He was completely shellacking Tarver for a fight and a half before he got starched.

Yet he only has 7 kos and lost to the best just about every time out.

I am with you on this one. Altho Im trying to put some points down on Dawson and HOPING he really pulls it off. I think the weight, no matter how 'good' he looks, will be a factor. And there's a chance it will start showing in the late rounds.

I got Dawson as well.

Ernest must have the Boone fight in his head
