Chad Dawson says he's already at 178 pounds for Andre Ward fight

[BattlingNelson]

Dawson has always said he'd love to go down to 168. Always.

Not true. See above.

[IMDAZED]

Not true. See above.

No, true. Kessler wasn't worth it.

[BattlingNelson]

No, true. Kessler wasn't worth it.

Dawson called him out nevertheless so it is not true when you say that he was always ready to go down.

180? You do realize that his weight on fight Night is about 185 right?

So please come up with a source for the 180, because it sure sounds like bullcrap.

i shouldnt say hes never above 180, i meant usually. and he usually isnt.

i already ocovered this in a previous thread but ill go over it again.. dawson isnt a guy whos much heavier than the division he fights in and has to cut weight. hes a fighter who can make weight without cutting down and weigh about the same come fight night.

HOWEVER, when it suits his gameplan he will bulk up a bit, cut weight and come in heavy on fight night. but thats not something he has to do, its something he chooses to do usually when faced with a strong opponent.

so his weigh on fight night can be 185, it can be 180 or it can be 176. it varies from fight to fight.

So, in essence, Dawson ducked Kessler....

Got it.

I'm starting to get how this works.

Making stuff up on the fly.

Come up with a source to save a little credibility or STFU.

No Kessler ducked Dawson by refusing to move up.

[Jack Napier]

fuck Dawson, hope Ward takes him apart
if he's not healthy at SMW, that's own damn problem
woulda preferred Ward going up to take Dawson's title though
but the fight at SMW will suffice, so long as Dawson loses

[boliodogs]

Ward isn't making him do ****. Dawson made the challenge and signed the contract....

That's exactly right. Dawson asked for 168 all Ward did was say yes to Dawson's challenge.

making it up on the fly? ive been saying this since the fight was made!

im not gonna go looking for a source, i dont have to. i never made **** up around here and i never will, it is what it is. i can understand how someone like you might be su****ius though as you make **** up constantly yourself.

ive heard it from an interview, several acctually. from scully and also dawson himself. im not gonna go look it up but ill give you this.

i watched this just a little while ago, he didnt comment on his weight on fight night but said 168 is his natural weight. personally i dont think thats true, i think its somewhere between 168 and 175, but it tells you he doesnt struggle to make 175 nor does he mind fighting at 168.




one thing i agree on 100% though is wards previous opponents lack of boxing skills. i mean some of em are good but he fought some bums too. that danish guy for example.. what a bum. dawson is right, that danish chump aint got no boxing skills whatsoever.
