Two top 10 p4p world champions fighting each other tonight. Very rare that the champion who fights in the heavier weight class (Dawson - LHW world champion) is dropping a complete weight class to challenge for that world title (Ward - SMW world champion) - no catch weight bs here. Much respect to Chad Dawson for doing that.

Gonna be a close one

Dawson split decision



LOVE that this is on HBO and not PPV. This should actually be on PPV before Martinez-Chavez.

I think Ward wins a close decision. Should be a very close fight. I'm interested to see how Dawson handles the change in weight and how much bigger he'll be tonight.

I expect it to be a boring fight, but I'll definitely be tuning in. Close decision to Ward.

Fight time. I am surprised Ward is that big of a favorite... It's almost worth putting a value bet on Dawson.

Not sure if the fight is on HBOGo. I've never tried watching a fight on it

The weight loss is going to kill Dawson he moved up to light heavyweight like 7 years ago because he out grew super middleweight now he's trying to move down and face one of the 5 best fighters in the world.

Oh and if you were wondering why Michael Buffer gets paid as much as he does Nick Cannon is showing you why.

I like both of these guys. Would give the edge to Ward, but Dawson has more talent.
ETA: Ward knocked him down in the 3rd and that's probably all she wrote.

I've been a big fan of Ward since his showing in the Olympics. I had a feeling he would eventually be a top P4P fighter.

Who the hell scheduled this big fight for tonight?

if this fight is 2 weeks ago the viewership quadruples.

Ward was pretty much considered top-5 p4p boxer before this fight...and he may have been UNDERRATED! Wow! Impressive.

Wanted to bet on this fight but didn't have enough in my account to make it worth it.
