Im pumped. I want Bad Chad, love his fightin style and him in general, but Ward, who i really do not like, is one hell of an inside trader, Martha Stewart swag. I got Ward by MD
I'm taking Dawson in this one. I was impressed by his footwork in the Hopkins fight. He was able to get some shots off then slip to the side when Hopkins rushed in. Did a really good job of making it his type of fight.
I wonder what Dawson's game plan will be. If he boxes off the back foot and counters then Ward may have a tough time getting inside

It's that or bank on his size and strength winning out...should be interesting to see how it plays out based on which of these polar opposite tactics Dawson rolls with...
Great card, the Molina/DeMarco fight is one that could steal the show. Anyway, Yeah I got Ward winning a Unanimous decision win. Andre will smother on the inside & will be faster than Dawson on the outside. I'll be back here (Thread) on the day of the weigh in. (Dawson @ 168lbs I need to see it to believe it)
Oh yeah, I meant to bump this last Tuesday (the 19th) with a link if they wound up streaming this. :!: Of course, I forgot...but it may not have mattered. There is no video to be found of the presser, nor any trace of mention of it having been streamed on the day. So it seems Goossen & Shaw combined can't pony up for a service that comes standard with TR and GBP events. :conf As much as you want to pull for the 2nd-tier underdog promoters...it's the filthy rich crooks who deliver, time after time.
Ward tweeted yesterday that he has a public workout today at 11am (Pacific...so 2pm Eastern...coming up in 90 minutes) at King's Gym... ...but no cameras are allowed! :|
