Press Release: Light heavyweight contender Chad Dawson, who will meet WBC champion Tomasz Adamek in the main event Saturday on Showtime, has hired Floyd Mayweather Sr. as his trainer, replacing two-time Trainer of the Year Dan Birmingham.  After giving a politically correct answer about his reasons on a conference call, Dawson said later in a private interview to Kevin Iole that he thought he could get more one-on-one attention from Mayweather Sr. "Dan was all about Winky (Wright), and I felt I needed more time from him than he could give me," Dawson said. "He was all about those guys (Wright and Jeff Lacy). Floyd is a very hands-on trainer. He's there to run with me, he's there in the gym and he's taught me things I never knew. "I'm throwing quicker and faster combinations and, even though he's a master of defense, I'm a better offensive fighter now."
