Andre Ward vs Chad Dawson

Its funny, its one of the first times in history that the active #1 man at Light Heavyweight is dropping down in weight to face the #1 Super Middle Weight, and its hardly getting any buzz.
In a sport marred by the obvious problem of the two best boxers avoiding each other for 4 years, its nice to see to legit top 10 P4P fighters willing to square off against one another. Andre Ward has been on an amazing run and Chad Dawson once again is proving that he really will fight anyone. The problem is Chad isn't known for excitement leading some people to say that this fight will likely be a stinker.
While this could be the case, I really think that this will be an entertaining match. Mainly because Ward will be facing a naturally larger man, I think that will force him to be busier and more active than he sometimes is. I also think that Wards activity will obviously force Dawson into a faster pace. I personally think if this scenario plays out Ward will more than likely win, but if Dawson can keep the fight at his pace and control distance, he has a good chance of being the first man to beat Andre Ward.

Check it out September 8, two of the best in the sport will be facing off.

it's difficult to see this being a particularly exiting fight but i agree it will be interesting to see who wins.

Their styles and dull personalities are the main reason for the lack of buzz, neither guy delivers knockouts or even stoppages for that matter.

HBO are wasting alot of money by trying to hype this fight up.

they are both americans, one of whom will be on everyones p4p list and the other will appear on many peoples p4p list.

they should have no trouble selling it to boxing fans but they'll have to lie out of their arses to bring in the casual fan.

Fans will tune in I just don't see the need for the "PPV treatment".

I do agree, Ali, but I think thats the only way to make money off this, if it is relatively successful.

I think we ight actually get a pretty damn good fight, I think Bad Chad will have a hard time though in Cali but he just might pull it off, I would be interested to see the odds for this fight
