    Respect for Dawson coming down to SMW, Ward is looking great.

    Remember, it was DAWSON who said he would have no problem going down to 168. Ward's team just said OK

    YEah the weight drained crap is either people hating on Ward, who is putting on a masterclass, or people looking for excuses.

    Ward looks really good.....no excuses. Andre's ring intellect is clearly the difference. He obviously did his homework on Chad and came up with a great game plan which he's executing perfectly...

    Round 7

    Dawson falls in against Ward and holds, getting thumped on the body. Ward keeps blazing ahead as Dawson paws his right jab and tries to whip out an overhand left to the back of the shorter boxer's head. Ward stays low, gloves up, and upper body bent over to the side, closing the distance and landing his jab, holding before Dawson can land anything of merit. Nice left hook over the arm by Ward as Dawson shells up. Smoger orders a clean break with no punches as they clinch. Ward is outlanding Dawson 11 to NOTHING this round per CompuBox. Dawson is the one initiating clinches now, tugging on Ward's arms to prevent any further ass whooping.

    10-9 Ward

    69-62 Ward

    Apples and oranges.

    Dawson challenged Ward for Ward's belts. Ward accepted at the full weight limit.

    Pac needed special clauses to fight for somebody else's belts.

    Complete shutout for Ward by Compubox numbers that round, hope Ward can close the show dramatically.

    10-9 Ward, 69-62 Ward.

    What's amazing me most is the footwork. Chad's footwork against B-Hop and lots of other guys was great. Ward is making him look sloppy.
