Chad dawson, rather easily i believe. Im not buying this Andre Dirrell frenzy, i think he is an awkward but very limited fighter. Ward will beat dirrell and so will kessler for that matter.
I give Dirrell all the credit in the world for beating Abraham, but Abraham and Dawson are night and day. Abraham was the smaller man, and Dirrell could still control the fight by outboxing him. Against Dawson, he won't be afforded that luxury. He will have to work his way inside. Dawson is not only the bigger man but he is almost as fast and just as if not better skilled. And even though Dirrell put up a big performance he was still knocked unconscious by an illegal punch, so he may be hesitant to get back in there and fight.
Who will run faster? Dirrell is most coward and a runner just like floyd his idol. Dawson is a semi coward only because he does not run too much like his idol floy the *****.
From a style point I don't see how anyone can say who will win. Both of these fighters can fight very negitive if they choose to. No one can predict how they will fight. They both have the tools to beat each other. Also I need to see how that concussion from AA effects Dirrell. And find out WTF happend to the Dawson of last year.
They can both fight negative, but I think if Dirrell chose to fight that way, given Dawson's size advantage, he would be playin his game, and lose the fight.
Why? Pascal fought negitive and Dawson did not know how to pressure him. Pascal is smaller then Dirrell.
But Pascal fought negative in order to explode and put on pressure, and then fight hard on the inside. Dirrell fights negative to not get hit.
Now this was sparring that happened several years ago and Bad Chad was getting "touched" too much?? Dirrell whips Dawsons ass lefty, righty, attacking, or defensive.
Andre Direll has **** loads of natural talent in my books, he has pretty much a complete arsenal, and providing he turns up with the right game plan he should beat dawson. im mean he fought like **** vs froch, and some still think he did enough to win, speaks volumes about how good he is .
