Scully speaks:

the fight should have been at 175

Good response from Scully. I think the weight and ability of Ward were just too much to climb

I had picked Ward to win but Dawson looked sluggish and drained to me. Had it been at a more comfortable weight, the fight would have been more competitive but the outcome would've been almost the same.

I don't know why he took the fight against Ward. Even after beating B-Hop Chad became the #1 LHW yet many people still thought of him as an underachiever. I guess they weren't impressed with his performance against B-Hop, I know I wasn't. Odd that Scully didn't mention his training camp in preparation for Ward because I heard it was terrible. As much as I don't think highly of Scully as a trainer, it was Dawson's decision to drop Steward and hire Scully. I don't think Scully had the time to evaluate Dawson and see what he does wrong as a boxer. Scully immediately had to think of a gameplan against Hopkins, that's a very tough predicament that Scully was in, especially considering that Scully has never trained a boxer at the world class level against a world class opponent.
