"Is that what he said, he would knock me out?" Froch said, according to livefight.com. "Well a tiger does not lose sleep over the opinion of a sheep - and trust me, Adonis will be a lamb to the slaughter.
"I wish him no harm, but if he comes to fight then he will be blitzed in a handful of rounds. My opponents have two choices when they fight me; They can either run, hold and take a decision or they can actually fight and get smashed up.
"With the greatest of respect, Adonis is not a fleet-footed fighter - he will come throwing those big bombs and we could have a nice little war, if it is him next of course and not Kessler."
Froch added: "I do give Adonis respect, he has fought his way to the No. 1 spot and, as everyone knows, I avoid nobody.
"He has been vocal in demanding the fight and that to me shows he has the appetite for it, which is to be commended. But he would get smoked. End of story."

It's in situations such as this that I don't envy the position of the referee. First, Dawson got back to his feet, and was defending his championship, you always want to give a guy a chance to defend what's his. That's when the question of cost comes into question though. Dawson. In the past Dawson has been hurt, dropped, and regardless has gotten up and survived. I think if they let it continue, Dawson gets stopped regardless. Tough to call on the spot.

Originally posted by mathed View PostBradley looked like he could barely stand against Providnikov but he lasted 12 rounds and took way more punishment. Alvarado could barely stand against Rios but he made it the distance. Berto against Guerrero but he made it the distance. There are plenty of instances where dudes are way more hurt than what Dawson was and they made the distance when the fight could have easily been stopped early on.Last edited by kiaba360; 06-09-2013, 04:17 PM.

Originally posted by mathed View PostI thought the stoppage was crap. Dawson was back on his feet, he should have been given a chance to continue.
All that would have happened was Stevenson would have stormed forward and knocked his head off.
It was a great stoppage.

Berto went down but wasn't dropped anywhere near as hard. He got up, spoke clearly to the referee, held his gloves up and looked fine to continue.
Dawson looked like he'd been electrocuted. He was all stiff, unable to speak properly, unable to lift his gloves up. I was impressed he stood up in that state to be honest - but you could see that was an almighty effort.
