Chad Dawson vs Epifanio Mendoza...who wins??

mendoza may be a puncher at middleweight, but he aint no light heavy.

solid fight, but not for a title defense.

but i guess what can you do when the original guy pulls out.

i pick dawson by tko in eight.

 

Dawson TKO6

 

I think Chad Dawson is a KO waiting to happen, he has amazing offensive arsenal but his defense is very suspect. This guy is not the one to exploit it though.

 

Dawson is the future of the division. This guy Mendoza has next to no chance, as Dawson is just on another level not to mention that Dawson is a natural 175 lber. Mendoza is a blown up middleweight, maybe supermiddleweight. That being said, if ever a fighter had a reason to overlook his opponent it's Dawson. Originally he was training to hopefully fight Tarver, Tarver then said no, then he was supposed to fight Diaconu and then Diaconu get's injured and now he is fighting the third stringer.

 

If he were a KO waiting to happen then Adamek would have done it...But in insteda Adamek landed flush and then Dawson hopped right back up and only at that point was the fight competitive...Dawson even won the next round...He suffered 2 other flash knockdowns. He is long and lanky with fast feet...I think Dawson just needs to get his balance in place not square up as much....there is no proof that his chin is week...He beat the living **** out of Adamek and took his best punch and yet people say his chin is weak because of a flash knockdown...I just don't get it. When harding knocked him down he grazed Dawson with a jab...it was more of a balance issue...how can people get this confused??? Where is the proof of his "weak chin"?

 

a KO waiting to happen but your boy Adamek who alot of people claimed to be the best Light Heavy out there couldnt KO him huh?? You're still mad? LOLOL :rofl

 

I agree 100 percent.. People on here act like he was rubber legged falling all over the place or something. I just dont get it.

 

Dawson by ud

 

This fight will basically be the same thing that Dawson vs Diaconu would be.. except Diaconu would probably last into the later rounds. Either way, Dawson would embarrass both of them greatly.

 

Two huge factors that leave mendoza with nothing but a very very small puncher's chance:

1) Huge gap in boxing skill

2) Despite the weigh-ins, Dawson is the naturally bigger man (natural 175 lber vs a blown-up middle).


A good defence considering they had 2 weeks to find an opponent after Diaconu pulled out.

Dawson KO 5 here.

 

How many people here will be watching this fight over Taylor-Pavlik? Anybody?

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl:good

 

Diaconu; Tarver...lol..
