    He's the one moving out of his comfort zone, not Ward.

    Well the fight is in Connecticut, so Dawson can do rough stuff if needed.

    ? It's in Oakland, also Ward's comfort zone.

    Dawson has a comfort zone since when does he have fans?

    I was being sarcastic, obviously Dawson is at a huge disadvantage.

    Sorry, do you have any other evidence to support your claim that Martinez is walking around near 180? Regardless, as Caelum succinctly put it, "Anybody that steps their feet and then swims in a division he fought in and can still fight in, are open for hunting season."

    Was referring to the weight. Dawson is the one making the sacrifice here, not Ward, and I don't see how that's disputable at all really.

    I mean that pretty damn good evidence they weighed the man 30 days before the fight:deal

    He doesn't fight in that division now does he?

    Its a ***** and desperate move and its not going to happen:deal

    Dawson has no choice he is B side. Stop acting like Daawson was sitting from a position of strength he is still the larger man calling out the smaller guy. He know he can make the weight.

    And he weighed somewhat less than "damn near 180" when they did the 30 day weigh-in for the Dzinziruk fight (a fight that took place at the full 160 limit, not a catchweight below that). Your arguments are becoming increasingly incoherent and your reliance on one weigh-in from almost two years ago to discern Martinez's true weight class is nonsensical.
