Ward v Dawson RBR/Pre/Post fight discussion master thread

[Khalid X]

Dawson quit.

Very weak mentally.

How many times have when seen a fighter than was drained and how many times have each of those fights ended like this?

[NEETzsche]

That was a performance on the level of Mayweather-Corrales or Jones-Toney.

dawson hasn't got ***** on corrales or toney. every time i've ever seen dawson fight in the last five years he's looked lethargic and mentally suspect.

[BattlingNelson]

I have to give the guy that doesn't know that the O shouldn't be capitalized, credit.
Andre "SOG" Ward.

He beat the crap out of the drained Dawson.

He did. Ward looked great. I will never be a fan of his style though. But a great performance nevertheless and that from an orthodox stance.

This was a bad idea for Dawson to go down to 168lbs

[SkillspayBills]

Wow. Andre Ward...I hope you have shot yourself to superstardom.

[2fast2strong423]

that was a JOY to watch, Masterfully done by ward. I look forward to seeing more of what he can do.

[DoktorSleepless]

I barely tuned in for the knockout highlight. Was the fight good?

How heavy did they come in?

[Cutthroat]

People shouldn't discredit Wards win even though Dawson may be "drained"

From round 2 Ward schooled the hell out of him, HE was the reason Dawson couldn't land anything, he adjusted perfectly, he controlled the distance with his amazing footwork, neutralized his jab etc. it was a masterful performance.

If this fight takes place at 175 the same thing happens as this 1st.

[BennyST]

Dawson quit.

Very weak mentally.

I figured the weight would have some effect on him, but he looked really awful. Would be good for Ward to move up to 175 if Dawson can get back to form in the future at his own weight.

great performance from Ward, glad i backed him to stop Dawson. Got pretty good odds considering how drained Dawson was
