any update on this ???

Not yet mate, but hopefully it won't be a problem...

hope not, I know Daniel (Geale) has been working so hard towards this fight

As protected & limited as Pittman might be as a pro I think that he beats both Geale & Dawson. I'm sure that he has fought Geale as an amature and he lost a close decision but he was struggling to make the weight (67 or 71). At middle he is to big (6 2" comes into ring at 80kg) and he boxes aswell as Geale.
Dawson looks to have the power advantage but again Pittman is much bigger and boxes to good on the outside for Dawson. If it didn't get stopped from cuts to Pittman he wins a lopsided points decision.
I would like to see any of these fights but believe Geale and Dawson would stay clear of a Pittman fight.
Pittman's management should be chasing the winner.

If they fought the fight would be at middleweight and Pittman would have a decent size advantage but as you say Dawson would probably still have the power advantage and I worry about Pittman's hands. I think Dawson would be able to get to him enough to hurt him and then take the fight from there. Geale would not be outboxed by Pittman, it would be a good close fight and I think Geale would probably edge it down the straight as I think Jamie would tire fighting at 160...

Can Pittman even make 160, I doubt he could make it to Middle and if he did he would be weight drained.

I dont know why Dawson is fighting at 160 he can easily make 154 and im sure he could get down to 147. I trained with him at the local MuayThai gym and he isnt a big bloke.

I don't understand why Pittman would want to go down to middle but he has mentioned it a few times now...

As for Dawson I think he is only fighting at middle so he can pick up the IBO trinket, he will probably go back to 154 afterward or just fight a few small 160lb scubs until he vacates for a bigger opportunity... (I should preface that by saying IF he beats Geale, I don't think it is a lock)

M8 hes last fight was a Middle weight title fight for the WBA Pan-Afro belt ,which he won and i belive hes next fight is also @ Middle weight as hes team are chasing a fight with Strum. He is a big guy but look at Pavlik!!.

Can anyone figger why there has been no Dawson interviews for the build up to this fight? Ive seen afew about Geale but nothing on Dawson.
