    He also won the fight before that with a 1st round knockout.

    Fair dos to the lad, he has really turned his career around since being beaten by Flintoff :good

    Maybe we should rephrase that..

    "since being paid to be beaten by Flintoff"

    This improves Freddie's legacy to something close to Joe Calzaghe's :yep

    I think that was the most obvious fix in boxing.

    Not so sure, it takes something special to top Tyson v Seldon !

    It certainly suggests Freddie was a lot more accomplished than we all thought to beat this guy AND survive a knockdown.

    Flintoff is still Dawson's only defeat to date.

    Hopefully Flintoff will fight again seeing how good a win it tuns out he achieved :hey

    Flintoff was having his first fight with only months of training behind him, what did you expect?

    It was clearly fixed.

    But so have many other fights.

    Tyson vs Seldon for starters, Marquez vs Pacquiao III too.

    The person he beat was moaning that Dawson just ran for the distance of the fight and was scared

    I box and ain't anything special but I could throw a straight shot correctly within no time at all


    And considering the resources he had available he was technically awful
    Dawson knocked him down accidentally


    I call a rematch in America,I wonder what would happen there
    First round ko I'm guessing
