Dawson should take up plaing rugby, he spent more time with his head below the belt than a prop forward. He is definately not the fighter that he once was. It was just a matter of time before Fonfara lined him up and took him out. It surprised me that ot took him so long as every time Dawson lead with a left he also dropped his head into exactly the same place. No a great fight taht will be remembered.
