    Sacrifice the hardcores because it doesn't interest the casuals. Awesome.

    BTW, I'm not saying this is not an interesting matchup. It certainly is, just like Froch-Bute.

    But if the networks don't want Bute to fight someone other than Ward, I don't see why SOG should have a special treatment.

    Exactly. Somebody needs to lose their job over this. Ward-Dawson is one of the best and most interesting tactical fights that could be made in the sport. **** this.

    It's THE fight besides Ward-Bute everyone wants to see. Dawson may not have much of a fanbase, but Ward does. Most likely would of been in Oakland anyways. Maybe they want Ward vs Bute before Ward vs Dawson battle of unbeatens. USA vs CANADA!!!

    Yes Bute vs. Ward HAS to happen before they can fight the 175 champ. .

    They should have a doubleheader: Dawson/Pascal II, and Ward/Bute. . . Then let the winners fight each other to determine who is "pound for pound" the best in the world from 168-175. . .


    Seriously WHY DOES WARD NOT WANT BUTE?! What is it? Could somebody please tell me?

    HUh, no it's not?

    Bute/Ward is THE FIGHT that needs to be made? How can you even argue otherwise?

    Not even close to being the money fight Bute/Ward is? Doesn't have the importance either. . .


    What is it about Bute that Ward doesn't want anything to do with? LOL, he won't even mention his name!

    This fight would probably average 7 landed punches a round but it's still a very good fight! A good tactical match between 2 pure boxers... I would of watched it!

    Great move. Who wants to see two p4p fighters who are also #1 in their divisions that are only one weight class apart...... Who wants to see that bull**** in boxing? Not me.

    ^ Dawson has said he'd move down to Super Middle to make it happen. And with Dawson having moved over to HBO and Ward currently with Showtime

    I wonder how that'd factor into it
