    I'd like to think Chad is a slicker and stronger version of Froch, but coming down 8 lbs.......I just think that's gonna be too much for him.

    Ward in his backyard.....easy pickings UD.:tired

    :think Anyone else think Dawson deserves better than those odds??
    They will prob shrink up as fight draws near.
    (prob has a lot to do with peeps not believing Chad @ 168lbs)

    I agree. I think this is going to be a close fight. I mean, yes, all the circumstantial advantages go to Ward, but I just see Dawson being able to keep Ward at distance enough to bag rounds and I think this fight could end up going either way on our cards here, but will probably be a little wider in favor of Ward officially.

    I got Ward UD.

    He's got the better inside game, ring IQ, and stamina. He also won't lose focus. I think Dawson is very skilled but Ward is a class above.

    I don't actually have a pick, which is the first time in memory for me.

    I have plans to do a technical break down of this fight, a big one. There's so many skills, intangibles and variables here that I'll need time for it. VERY excited about this fight.

    I'm actually a lot more excited for this, two months out, than I am for Khan vs. Garcia at the end of this very week. :conf

    I don't really care about the Khan fight mate. I think either Khan stops Garcia early, or wins a decision that's closer than the gap in skills should of allowed it to be.

    I'm real excited about this one, and the JCC Jr vs Martinez fight.

    BOTH of those, are megafights for hardcore fans.:yep

    I don't think this is a pick'em, I see Ward winning this via UD handily.
