Comments Thread For: Dawson: Ward Turned Down 170, Insisted on Oakland

[Jubei]

Ward is a good fighter, uses every trick in the book and loves to have his hometown juges + hometown ref letting him do his sometimes dirty tricks. Now he had the chance to prove he can fight a top guy at LHW and he made him come down to SMW? Also made him come to his hometurf?

Of course Dawson said he could make 168, because Chad is a champ and tries to make the best fights, if Ward was a champ himself he would have moved up to 175, at least to 170-172.

Ward cannot be considered a p4p fighter in my book, he just fights at one weight class and wont even budge for 2 lbs, with all the advantages he got in Oakland? Thats pityful. Lost alot of respect.

That was a potentially great fight at 172-175, us fans got robbed by Andre.

Disappointed in Andre Ward for this.

Dawson should have said this in the first place.

So this is the excuse once Ward beats that ass.
Gotcha

How does anyone know if what Dawson says are really how things went?

[lastrealfan]

these are my two least favorite elite fighters in the sport, atleast one of them will get knocked out of the top ten p4p lists.

Damn Bivol a gangsta. Catchweights would mean 168+ lol. Canelo is generous. Why not just 168 max. Lol

your absolutely pathetic

The boxing gods don’t like fighters wasting time! Bivol doesn’t want Beterbiev so it’s best he faces Canelo instead. Bivol a better fight than Plant, and Plant wasted the Mexican’s date. Canelo not even going to fight on September 18 because we wasted time starting with 3 fight
multi deals.
