Anyone know much about 40's-50's WW Freddie Dawson

I believe he ended up as a referee.Ike Williams claimed he was one of
several fighters he was offered a bribe to lose to,he refused and beat him.

 

Great GREAT fighter. Very underrated. Supposedly he wasnt connected and got frozen out by the mob. Id pay big money to see his fight with Ike. Two masters at work.

 

I think Patrick ended up editing an Aussie boxing magazine.

 

Dawson looks pretty awesome there.

 

Hear, hear! Here, here!

 

Great thread. He rarely gets mentioned.

 

Dawson was probably one of Ike Williams toughest opponents by boxrec's accounts huh?

 

Yes, I would say. One of his biggest problems was that he was forced to fight Williams in Ike's hometown of Philadelphia. Had they fought in Chicago or in neutral territory, the outcome of their last couple of fights might have been different.
