Moments ago, at the Oracle Arena in Oakland California, super middleweight king Andre Ward put on a masterful performance, battering WBC light heavyweight champion Chad Dawson with ease before stopping him in the 10th round in front of his hometown fans. Dawson never had a chance after being dropped twice from devastating left hooks very early in the fight. From there, it only got worse for Dawson as Ward began to chop him down, battering him with right hand leads and left hooks round after round. It was in the 10th round when another left hook wobbled Dawson before a combination put him down once more. Although Dawson beat the count, he wanted no more from Ward.
