    Dawson gonna look like a beast at the weigh-in. I just might pick him for the upset. Who's picking Bad Chad? Speak up!

    I think Ward is a 65/35 favorite to win legitimately, probably more like 80/20 given that the fight is in Oakland.

    Should be a very entertaining fight for purists, though, and if Dawson fights aggressively it could be more of a brawl than everyone expects.

    Dawson is one of the most gifted fighters in the sport today. The way he thinks and fights is so natural in there. The weight shouldnt be a huge factor, he looks like he takes care of his body and is very confident in his conditioning coach. I see him being faster and hitting harder than Ward. I was impressed with the way he kept his composure vs Hopkins and let his hands go. I think if Dawson can find a way to keep Ward at range or nullify him on the inside, he can land the cleaner harder punches. I agree with this fight being in oakland, Dawson should look to dominate every round and really impose himself on Ward, maybe even go for the ko. Anything can happen in this fight i think
