Chad Dawson’s promoter doesn’t believe Dawson’s devastating defeat against Andre Ward ruined the former light heavyweight champion prior to Adonis Stevenson destroying Dawson in the first round.
“I don’t think so,” promoter Gary Shaw said while promoting Stevenson’s Sept. 28 fight against Tavoris Cloud in Montreal. “Dawson let his hands down. Instead of keeping Adonis at a distance, he let him come in and Adonis leaped and threw that one shot. … When you let your hands down and you let the smaller man come close, and he’s a power puncher, it’s a huge problem.”
Stevenson’s stunning one-punch, one-minute and 16-second demolition left Dawson’s career completely in shambles. In his previous fight, Ward dropped Dawson three times before Dawson declined to continue in the 10th round a year ago in Oakland, Calif. [Click Here To Read More]
