    It was fairly good, contrary to expectation.

    It was decent, its a good watch if you like Ward otherwise its not that good, certainly a fight that i wont watch again.

    yes it was a good fight, many thought it was going to be boring but was far from it.

    Better than I thought it would be, but overall it was just an ok fight imo. I wound up not watching most of it from Round 7 on.

    It's worth a watch. Not as dull as I thought it may be.

    All I could see was the beating. Dawson was in the same situation of Bute if not worse.

    Wasn't exciting, wasn't boring. Dawson looked in bits.

    Far from the snoozefest people claimed it would be. I enjoyed it a lot. The result was Ward being too good opposed to Dawson being to weak.

    It was a good fight in the same way Calzaghe - Lacy was a good fight.

    Checked it out a little.It was ok but typical Dawson not throwing and Ward hugging and punching on the inside.

    Good fight mainly for Ward's brilliant performance.

    Well, if you listened to the HBO broadcast team, it was the 2nd coming of Hagler-Hearns. In reality, it was ok, a little better than expected, although Dawson brought absoutely nothing to the table. I was ready to bet that the fight went the distance, but the odds were too short. Glad I didn't.

    Better than WardFroch, imo.

    Ward showed some excellent accuracy. A few slow rounds in the beginning but overall a great display of skills by Ward, few knockdowns too. Definitely watchable.
