Dawson (31-1) will make his debut at Super Middleweight this weekend as the +230 underdog against champ Ward (25-0). Both fighters are in the prime of their careers and are considered Top 10 pound-for-pound in the world. With a lot on the line this fight has the potential to be memorable.

Ward gets the nod as the -300 favorite but will likely have a tougher time against Dawson than the lines are currently showing. Bovada is also offering OVER/UNDER action on the Dawson vs. Ward fight; the number of total rounds is set at 11.5, and the lines are currently handicapped at -500 that the fight will go OVER that mark. If you think the fight will end before 11.5 rounds it will currently pay +300. Both fighters have seven decision results in their last eight fights.

On the same night in Moscow Klitschko (44-2) will be a big favorite over surprise title contender Charr. It’s sort of cloudy as to why Charr was given a title shot, but we do know that he will be a huge underdog on Saturday night. At +1400 the undefeated Charr is a tempting upset option, but if you decide to go with old faithful Klitschko he comes with a hefty -5000 price.

The OVER/UNDER action on the Klitschko vs. Charr fight is set at 6.5 rounds, with the UNDER bet handicapped at +110. The undefeated Charr has a good chin and the ability to move out of harm’s way, giving the -155 OVER option some real value.
