    2 unified champions fighting for supremacy between 168 and 175.

    Ward put forth a dominating performance and limited Dawson to a 10% Connect rate, 3 knockdowns to a TKO

    Ward coming off his impressive super 6 tourney win while Dawson coming off a win vs Hopkins.

    Ward beat the prime out of Dawson this fight

    it was shameful MVC

    He dragged dawson to 168 should of even at least gave him a catch weight of 172 or better yet fight him at 175

    He drained him

    Dawson wanted it at 168 and he said he was perfectly healthy!

    no he even said lets do it at 175 but to make the fight happen he agreed.

    By the way can we make canelo vs golovkin +4 instead of +2?

    lol I don't know who looked worse climbing through the ropes, Dawson or Oscar when he fought Pac. Word is that Dawson was ko'd during sparring preparing for the fight. Definitely not the best version of Dawson.

    Horrible business decision made by Bad Chad, and I was his biggest fan.

    This is not that great of a win for Ward although it would have been if he had moved up to light heavy and claimed the lineal title vs Dawson. I rank his victories over Kessler, Froch and Kovalev over Dawson.

    I was hoping for a Floyd thread. MVC disappoints.

    He didn't drag anyone LMAO. Dawson called him out. It's not even close to one of Ward's best wins, but stop trying to portray a false narrative.

    Dawson was severely drained and he was brutally KO'd in sparring by Miranda.

    a drained Dawson is far from "one of the greatest wins"

    Yeah Dawson was dumb to take a fight under those circumstances.... Ward probably would have beaten him at 175 with relative where the win would have mattered much more.
