		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m a little surprised, frankly.  I thought that the Ward v. Kessler and Ward v. Froch fights were closer, and I felt that Dawson was better than Kessler and Froch.  I knew Ward was good, but his low KO count led me to believe that Dawson would give him trouble.  So either Kessler and Froch are better than Dawson or Ward improved after those fights?  Both?  As for Dawson struggling against Hopkins, well, everyone has.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Smallish typo: First photo was a stunning left hook to Dawson&#039; temple. I felt it all the way up in the ceiling where I was assigned to sit by the Magna Media people that have taken over from the former PR company. 
 
I did however, take and submit for consideration, a series of photos in which it seemed that Dawson literally &#039;blocked with his head,&#039; walking into short chopping right hand punches from Andre Ward on the inside. He did this more than once. These, I call &#039;face plant&#039; punches, which is really a very rude way of saying that someone saw a punch coming, and couldn&#039;t do squat about it, so they blocked w/ their head or face. This is bad. In boxing, when you start seeing punches coming and not be able to avoid them, it is time for a career change. 
 
And yes, I agree, Mr. Freeman. My personal opinion is that Mr. Dawson should consider a lifestyle change; maybe become a ringside announcer, or something else, if he stays in the boxing profession.  
 
Don&#039;t get me wrong: I am very staunchly and unswervingly an Andre Ward fan. Period. Forever. However I also do know, can see what I&#039;m looking at, so to speak. 
 
And from the first, I was very seriously concerned about Mr. Dawson&#039;s health. This was from the moment I first saw him at a press conference in Oakland, something that hasn&#039;t ever happened before when I&#039;ve seen Dre&#039;s opponents. So I started looking for some of Dawson&#039;s fights on You Tube, and have yet to be impressed. Andre Ward picked him apart at 168 lbs. If he ever moves up in weight, and Dawson is still light heavyweight champion, I&#039;m not sure that Dawson will come out of the exchange in one piece, or sane. Because remember, Andre Ward is naturally an inside fighter, and inside is exactly where you&#039;re supposed to be when fighting an opponent w/ longer reach and taller size. In my pre-fight article,  &#039;Ward fever,&#039; I predicted that Chad Dawson had a problem that he didn&#039;t know about yet, and its name was Andre Ward. It seems that that was very very true - more true even than I knew. Thanks for your comments! ]]></description>
