Comments Thread For: Dawson Says Power Has Returned at Light Heavyweight

[MJ406]

If Dawson dominates and wins easily you have to look at the catchweight in the Ward fight and think he was weight drained for that fight. I'd like to see Ward move up and fight Dawson at 175 anyway.

You could say Dawson was weight drained when he fought Ward, but it wasn't a catchweight bout

the fight was at 168 even .. Full Super Middleweight limit.

lets go Chad!!

Stevenson gonna get slapped up for running his mouth....dude didn't even earn the right to talk **** to a 3 time world champ and reigning top dawg in any weight class.....you disrespect a dude like Chad in the ring unless you earned enough stripes to talk greezy.....thats the realness!!!

Let's hope. Adonis is a scumbag with a history. Spark him out, Chad.

[Capaedia]

Hope Dawson retires him.

Stevenson is a piece of ****

I'm pretty interested in seeing how this fight plays out, as we rarely get to watch two southpaws face off. Dawson is 5 years younger, but has five more years of pro experience. Adonis is a big puncher, but is coming up from 168. Both guys are athletic, with Dawson have a slight reach advantage. Dawson is defensive-minded, Adonis is offensive-minded. The fact that this fight is taking place in Canada should not be overlooked. I'm picking Adonis by close decision.

Chad needs this win greatly after gettin schooled by the smaller ward actually i felt ward made dawson look lik a washed up fighter on his way out the sport!!!!
Alwaysed liked dawson but i lost alot of respect for the effort he gave against ward he gave up an it was plain to see.
That being said he is at his real weight and in my opinion needs a k.o to raise his status as a fighter fans can still depend on.

Im a big fan of Ward but come on Dawson had major issues making weight thats why he looked so bad , I thought it at the time the fight was made but he was adamant he would be fine , he found out different .

Didn't realize Chad any power, much less it coming back......

I wasnt aware that Dawson had chin issues. When did his chin become an issue?

See Andre Ward......

To me, if he signed on for 168 (he called out Ward & stated 168 himself), then he can't use being weight-drained as an excuse, much less reason......

Yes, that good old fashioned home cooking could come into play if it goes the distance......

Things got heated at the press conference, so maybe Dawson will fight with more intensity than he usually does, but I doubt it. I see Adonis trying to push the pace while Dawson sits back and boxes. It's gonna be his calmness/passiveness that will lose him the fight. Adonis is gonna be in front of his crowd in the biggest fight of his career and he'll take the risks necessary to get the victory. If he fights aggressive, he could potentially win the fight without having to rely on the judges.

I know, but it's still a pretty rare occurrence. The only other recent and notable southpaw match-up I can think of is Williams/Martinez.
