Comments Thread For: Weights: Andre Ward, Chad Dawson Both Come in at 168

How is he unsure? Because he wasn't yelling and screaming like Dre "SOG" was. Chad has always had a cool demeanor, that's been the knock on him.

Body language speaks louder than words. Chad hasn't fought at 168 for 6 years. He's nervous..

Both fighters looked thin...which is the norm making weight, but they will be rehydrated by fight time.

Dawson with glassy eyes looked greyish and illish. A knockout waiting to happen.

Chad may LOOK healthy, but he came in at 191.. almost 200 pounds for his last fight.. his natural weight. 168 is not a healthy weight for him going into a 12 round fight unless he can hydrate back up to around 186 87 quickly! fighting for 12 rds is a lot like running a marathon, not a mens swim suit model contest looks can be deceiving..

Not true, he said, and I'm going to take his word for it because we're not there to see. But he say's he comes in to camp @ bout 180-183, then he bulks up to the 187-190 which is possible. 190 might not be his natural weight. I know i gained 10-15 LBS. solid muscle and because i looked good muscular and anatomy wise. Yes i was running and doing cardio, but i gained more muscle. But my natural weight is 155-160 @ 5'9 which is me weight in my profile pic. you can feel healthier @ a lighter weight than heavier weight. I see your point! But that's why i say we shall see

Wow credits to Dawson, came down weight and looks awesome. Doesn't look drained at all. I guess we should take his word with a bit more seriously

lol. You serious? oh wait let me laugh harder LOL.

Ward couldn't KO Green and Miranda. please. Just because he made Kessler quit doesn't mean he can KO Dawson.

Yea I guess we will see, I'm not a personal trainer or anything just my opinion, but Ward looked more solid than Chad to me, I don't really care who wins, just want to see a good scrap, but I can't help but invision Chad looking like he did in the Pascal fight, lethargic... especially at this weight..

Sure, and real soldiers are taught to keep their composure. Chad looked no different @ weigh in than his last few weigh in. Truth be told the Ward camp looked shook, they were hoping Chad didn't make weight. Also i have never seen Dre yelling and screaming, he didn't do it with Froch disrespected Dre's religion, called him a runner and all sort of names, but getting hype with Froch!!, Kessler, Abraham, and Allan Green and we all know Allan Green can talk. My assumption, is team Ward knows this isn't a cake walk. That's were all the yaya rara came from. Dawson doesn't even provoke people to talk. the only time is in the 1st Bhop fight, when he felt Bhop was faking! So in essence team Ward looked shook! They never have weigh in antics I mean NEVER!! Reason Ward and his team didn't have to get rowdy @ weigh in with those other guys. Is because, they were no threat and Team Ward already had them in a body bag before the fight!!

With Ward's rough style and Dawson losing so much weight it is possible that he will fade in the late rounds.

dela hoya looked good too during weigh-in when he fought pac...just sayin.
