Comments Thread For: Stevenson Drills Dawson In One Round, Wins 175 Lb. Crown

Looked like a pretty quick stoppage considering Chad got up without wobbling. The ref needed to give Chad more time at least enough to see if he could recover.

Canadian refs

That ref is actually a decent ref. Chad's legs were shot and he was concentrating (and struggling) on staying upright more than listening to the ref. I hate fights that end that early and sudden. I always think caught cold. Chad though has been on the decline for long time now so with him you do not really know. I personally think he should pack it in.

Ward looks foolish/jokelike that he had to weight drain Dawson to get a stoppage against Edison Mirandas sparring partner leftovers.

Dawson called out Ward, at 168. Ward accepted, and dominated him.

Stevenson deserves some hype after the KO tonight, but if he wants the hype train to continue, and not come to a screeching halt, he won't fight Ward next, because Ward will dominate him guaranteed.

That punch... damn!!!

Nice one for Adonis!

Good win for stevenson and good job for the ref stopping the match. Dawson was clearly out of it. He was still wobbling even when the fight was waved off. Going down and up in weight had its effect but I don't think he is finished yet. Lets wait and see what he does in his next fight which I imagine will be a rematch.

Adonis is such a badass name... seriously want to name my future son that

Very unfortunate.

I had picked Dawson by dec IF he got by the early rounds, which he didn't...I still say Stvenson needs more experience...all early ko's will catch up w/ you, ie: Foreman...

Where you at Froch?

Froch is at 168 ready for whoever.

Froch has the chin to stop this guy, as soon as Stevenson hits him with something Froch comes right back.

I think this is really a fight for Andre Ward however, Ward UDs him easily, too intelligent.

Another young inexperienced prey for Hopkins, cant wait!

Ward said this too. Truth is though, Stevenson is 35 years old.
