Fight Picks Analysis: These are two of the fastest and most elusive fighters in the game but Chad Dawson has more question marks on his side than Andre Ward. In his controversial loss two years ago against Jean Pascal the 30-year old Dawson showed some of his flaws when it comes to counterpunching and focus. Ward, 28, is both an outstanding counterpuncher and his focus is that of a brain surgeon. Ward is a brilliant in-fighter and he has the ability to hit from the left side of the plate with an equal amount of skill. Dawson stands too straight up at times and Ward should be able to land his deadly accurate straight right hand. The Andre Ward vs Chad Dawson Odds have the Total at 9.5 Rounds with the Over at -625.
