You were completely right, everything you said about the fight. Very unfortunate to see Dawson that messed up by weight.

Dawson weighed 185 lbs.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

You know Chads a softie. He just doesn't fight with any passion, fire. I cant explain he just doesnt have it.

Somebody call up Tarver, Adamek and Hopkins and tell them they got beat by a softie.

They might disagree.

neither did louis, hearns, toney, cotto, mccallum, r. robinson, g. johnson, l. lewis.. just to name a few. fighters have diffrent demeanors in the ring, dont tell me you just realized that.

the fighters who are so relaxed they look like they might as well be watching a movie are the toughest ones if anything. you saying bcuz chad is relaxed and comftorable in the ring he must be a "softie". how does that add up?

I totally agree, guys think you have to yell and get all brolic to win. Chad has a layed back cool demeanor. That's just him. I see Dawson as a silent assassin. Like you said cotto and others are quiet, and handle they're businessin the ring!

It shouldnt add up because thats not what I said.

That's cool. He doesn't need passion or fire apparently. Was starting to feel like I was crazy because I don't know anyone in real life that has Chad winning. Hope he wins big tonight.

btw, I obviously don't know Ward or anything but I really dislike the dude for some reason. Anyone else have a general dislike for dude?

Im right here you can post towards me. Stop cheerleading. Dawson is soft. Period. You dont like it. I dont care. We can discuss it or you can keep whining about it. Makes me no difference.

Ward will impose his will on him and it will be evident.

Dawson is cotton candy Ive been saying that shyt, He checked out of the fight as soon as Ward hit him hard enough to make him realize he was in a fight.

Ward bent him over.

BWAHAHAHAHA.

how pathetic was the boxingscene staffs predicts.
man i'm telling you. it makes me wonder . with the latest mods weve gotten and this. is it being ran by a bunch of 20 yrolds?
Reeno where are you? mwahahahahah!

I won't bash the mods but all it does it validate that Dawson was a legit threat and nobody can take a hindsight point of view on it and recall how many felt before the fight. Which was that a lot of people thought Dawson would win and that weight wouldn't be an issue.

I still don't see it, maybe I over looked the weight being a concern. I'm not ruling it out. Just remember that Dawson weighed 185 lbs fight night. I mean this isn't like De La Hoya years ago when he wanted to move down to WW (weight he hadn't made in 8 years). Oscar couldn't even hit the WW limit. That is what it means when weight is an issue. Dawson was fighting as a LHW.

Either way, I like both guys and I knew the skills of Ward would win the fight. I just didn't expect Dawson to take a knee. He looked mentally beaten, not physically.

yeah your right . i appalojize to the mods.

butt...its going to blow my mind if these kids pick jokejr over martinez.

Everything about this fight was in favor of Ward. From the venue, judges, ring size and the weight.
The HBO crew even tried to say that CSAC hired an outside referee to make the officiating more credible, but the truth was that they wanted a referee that would favor Ward's fighting style.

The weight issue was not evident prior to the fight. It became evident when Dawson was unable to get off and was being rocked by someone smaller who doesn't necessarily have that type of power.

But Ward did win the fight. If it was 175, Dawson would just lose UD12.
Ward was just the better overall fighter; BHOP on steroids (no pun intended)!

yeah your right . i appalojize to the mods.

I don't think they will. Chavez hasn't accomplished anything for them too. Where as Dawson has fought a lot of big names and had experience vs very good fighters.

Chavez hasn't and even his promoter Bob Arum has been open about protecting him from real threats.

[brick wall]

can't blame the bscene staff...the dawson they were expecting didn't show up.
