Was Chad Dawson weight-drained?

[The Hammer]

That would explain his lethargic performance on Saturday. He seemed to lack energy...

Dawson is a big light heavyweight at 6'3" and lately he's been talking about moving up to fight Haye (who is about the same size anyway) at heavyweight.

Should he move up to cruiserweight (like Adamek did after his weight-drained, lethargic performance against Chad)?

i dont think so, he just showed he can't get off when your moving

I see what you did there, Tunney.

i dont think so, he just showed he can't get off when your moving

and also when you rush in and attack him with combinations he just ducks down and to the side where he cant counter..

No, he was "balls drained", dude showed no heart, no guts, no balls. One of the most lethargic performances I've seen in my life, I can't believe people hyped this guy so much, incredible.

Give Pascal his credit. He out thought Dawson, and had Dawson following him around like a fool getting punched up.

Look at th 11th round and then tell me he was weight drained, he could've thrown a lot of punches in the 12th, his stamina was fine.
Just fighting the wrong fight.

patrick (ee): will u ever want to go for the heavyweight belt some day

Chad Dawson (4:28 PM): Yeah, some day. Right now, I'm probably still close to 168, well I'm 175, but can still make 168. Hopefully in the next few years after my body fills out.

Okay, that proves it. He wasn't weight-drained.
