Ward - Dawson + Matthysse - Ajose. RBR and Discussion

[The Gambler1981]

How the **** is Dawson draining himself Ward's fault lol?

Dawson called HIM out at HIS weight.

It has nothing to do with fault that is just how it is, if you want to be honest about assessing the fight anyways.

[Hougigo]

You wouldn't be able to drop that weight

B.S
People can drop it if they had as much time as Chad.

And the slow, painful decline of Dawson is complete.

That was very, very sad to watch as a Chad fan (even if I am a huge Ward fan too).

Let's be honest, the fire hasn't been there since the Johnson 1 fight.

Quitting just capped off that performance.

Hurt by Andre Ward? He has never stopped a top opponent and now he's stopping Chad Dawson?

ward hit him right on the button, for both of the first two knock-downs (maybe due to dawson's cut obscuring his vision). malignaggi would've dropped him if he'd been allowed to tag him that cleanly.

great win for Ward. He just gets better with every fight. Great all round performance by him. I didnt think Dawson could get dominated like that by any fighter!

I was talking about him specifically, not people in general lol.

Bro, I know how you feel. I feel like sh-t.

But this was a good win for Ward.

and you whats crazy kev..

I'm still gonna back dawson..



even though he just quit. something a fighter usually doesn't do...

[Johnny Dough]

I'd like to see Ward against Golovkin at 160 now

[I Love Jesus!]

Dawson was more drained and less driven then i thought

oh please all you guys are [pathetic you said it was going to be a boring fight you where wrong now you know he was drained. He was fine. He said it clearly. He fought a the weight before and HE WANTED to go to 168. Just except that he got out fought and you don't know everything.

Congrats to Ward for winning, but anyone could see that Dawson was a shadow of himself.

The guy threw 187 punches in 10 rounds for gods sake.

TBH, I wasn't surprised by his passiveness and low work-rate. These are qualities that I've come to label him with. But yes, the weight probably had something to do with it. Got held to his word, and it was his fault. Big ego, big mouth, and then at the end, he quits. It is what it is.
