Comments Thread For: Dawson-Stevenson: Contracts To Be Signed on Monday

[SplitSecond]

I talked to Emanuel the night before Hopkins-Dawson 2 and he told me he has never seen anything like the power of Stevenson, that after sparring him guys complain of injuries not just to jaw and ribs but also forearms, shoulders, necks, ears, etc.

sounds cool
any clue on stevensons training methods? any uncommon practices

I know his former trainer as well, he just said his power is unmatched....

Stevenson will KO Dawson

I don't get all the rancor for Dawson, he's not a bad guy, but I do believe he has seen his best days. He was at his best and barely hittable when he was with Mayweather Sr.. Dawson was at his peak physically and he moved like a gazelle. Things have gone south on Chad. I think this a poor job by his manager to put him in with Stevenson after the Ward loss unless he has other motives or is simply misguided. If you are looking out for Chad and you know match-ups you put him in with a Yusaf, Mack, Dhafir Smith - who is a tough journeyman, Francisco Sierra type.

I'm a fan of Dawson. Thinks he's one of the most talented boxers out there and I enjoy his boxing. I think this will be an easy fight for Dawson...I even think he will stop Stevenson because he's so easy to hit. Stevenson only has a puncher's chance.

Well at least you admitted it...As many people/users that are in NSB you rarely see any fans of Dawson...Just like you rarely see many fans of Tim Bradley...

Garbage fight. Dawson should fight kovalev or what ever his name is. Hbo like usual paying for garbe fights and over paying dawson

I like this fight. Dawson by late KO. Build back up Dawson for 2 good fights then Dawson vs K0-Valev in an all out WAR.

Chad Dawson is a fringe top 12-14 P4P fighter right now. Don't be fooled by 3 bad perfromances (Ward,Pascal and Glen Johnson I.) Ward is just bad-ass,period. He can beat Pascal in a rematch. He fought boring style vs Glen Johnson in first fight to protect that "0." He was much better against Hopkins twice ,dominated Tarver twice, and he also dominated an excellent Tomasz Adamaek. Dawson beats Stevenson by late KO and 2 fights from now hopefully KO-Valev would be special !!!

What's Your Prediction? Do you think Stevenson has a big chance to beat Dawson?

[ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY]

I would assume Chad boxes smartly to a 12 rd. decision...

I'm a huge Dawson fan but let's be honest here.....out of all the trainers Dawson has fought under, he's looked the worst under Eddie Mustafa by a long margin. So this fight is isn't going to be easy as people are expecting it to be.

I'm still picking Dawson on points but think he'll hit a few bumps in some of these rounds.
