CHAD DAWSON VS TOMASZ ADAMEK weight on fight night

[SplitSecond]

So why didn't the weight drain issue only become relevant in the fight he LOST? He managed to win all those prior to it. Thus that's an EXCUSE!!!

EVERYONE has an excuse when they lose

and im being dead serious, know one has ever lost at their best

LOL! So true. Before the fight when asked how they feel they say" I feel great, I feel strong, I'm ready to fight". And after the fight when they lose They tend to say something like "I'm not making any excuses, and not take anything away from my opponent BUT I wasn't 100% tonight". It's one thing when they say but it's even dumber when their fans don't know any better and make the excuses for them.

And another thing. I thought weight drained fighters fade in fights. If I recall didn't Mr Weight Drained Adamek rally in the last 2 rounds. Yeah that makes sense(sarcasm).

no, dawson took the last 2 rounds off

[Jim Jeffries]

yea, im sure him being drained against the best lightheavyweight in the world was just coincidence, infact, im pretty sure adamek was so drained he would lose to any lightheavyweight that night

you could see he was so much better when fighting the likes of past it golota and some featherfisted slow ripped beast like cunningham

You don't seriously think Dawson could beat Cunningham, do you?

[Mikhnienko]

How's a guy weight drained if he fought 8 prior fights at the exact same weight and was the Champion at that weight? Try again.... That's just making an excuse...

Even the commentators in the 2nd Briggs fight talked about on how much noticably bigger he looked from the 1st one. It had been a long time coming and the Dawson fight was right after the 2nd Briggs fight.

He's naturally 200lbs which most poeople like you said was b.s. at first although it's proven true by his CW fights. Yeah 25 lbs isn't a big deal.

2nd

And Cunningham may not be a huge puncher at LHW but he sure as hell hits harder than Dawson.

at lightheavyweight? yes

[Jim Jeffries]

at lightheavyweight? yes

Why? Because Cunningham would be weight drained? Zing.

no, dawson took the last 2 rounds off

Getting knocked on your A$$ has the effect on a fighter.

Look, to me if you fight in a weight class by choice then you have forgone any claim to making an excuse about being weight drained or feeling too heavy for that matter. I don't think anyone's holding a gun to their heads when they sign to fight at these weights. So it's simply an excuse. And we can argue all day about whether it's a valid or legit excuse, but admit that it is exactly that.
