I think he's a bum...good confidence builder for Dawson. ..he better look good. On a side note Dawson looks to be in better shape than his last fight.

I don't think rematching Stevenson is something Dawson should look at doing. The same flaw that got him starched in the first fight - no natural head movement - will set him up for disaster again. You can't dodge shots you don't see coming if your head is stationary, and that's Dawson in a nutshell.
