FONFARA STOPS DAWSON
By Scott Shaffer @Ringside
Andrzej Fonfara TKO10 Chad Dawson: In a ten rounder at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, Andrzej Fonfara remained a contender, sending faded former world champion Chad Dawson to defeat via tenth-round stoppage. Fonfara (29-4) was credited with a ninth-round knockdown when he landed a punch as Dawson (34-5) tried to duck down. It wasn't spectacular but Fonfara followed up with hard shots that slowed the already stationary Dawson down even further. Fonfara came out aggressively in the tenth and landed a hard one-two that staggered Dawson back into a corner. Fonfara pounced, and with Dawson out on his feet, the referee correctly stopped it. Fonfara was coming off a loss to Joe Smith but can now look forward to meaningful bouts. The same cannot be said for Dawson
