Shocked to see there is no thread for this fight. Here is my OS blog for this fight:

Date is wrong in the title.

Fight got even better with Smoger getting the nod.

I don't even think Dawson going down from 175 will be a factor. It hasn't been that long ago that he fought at 168 and 160 before that.

I agree with your assessment featured on your OS blog...Ward my boring decision.

I think Ward is about as talented and classy as they come, but he's definitely not a crowd pleaser. I would like to see someone rough him up and test him a bit-maybe Dawson can do it. I will watch-it's free I assume?

this fight probably won't be pleasing to the eye, but i like Ward by a fairly easy decision simply by out-working Dawson.

Yep, this fight isn't gonna have a lot of fireworks. More of a technical battle. I got ward winning this by UD though.

There is an app called scorecard for iPad that is for scoring fights. Just enter the names and score your rounds.

I don't like how Ward was just laying into him..driving his head into Dawson..so classless.

Re: Andre Ward v. Chad Dawson - September 8 - HBO

How is it these guys are so good but so unwatchable.
Also, as good as Ward is, I've always thought he punches into clinches too much.
And I just despise watching Dawson : he looks like he should be a killer, but is anything but.

Re: Andre Ward v. Chad Dawson - September 8 - HBO

Dawson isn't comfortable when forced to fight.

Re: Andre Ward v. Chad Dawson - September 8 - HBO

Ward is just too fast and it's to the point now that Dawson's head is open too often. It won't go much longer now.

Re: Andre Ward v. Chad Dawson - September 8 - HBO

This is good. Ward can shift the consensus on him if he can finish this charlatan.

Re: Andre Ward v. Chad Dawson - September 8 - HBO

Ward is making him look terrible so far.

Re: Andre Ward v. Chad Dawson - September 8 - HBO

Truth be told, I have never truly been impressed with Dawson. He has never exhibited a killer or champion's spirit.
