What makes this fight any different to De La Hoya vs Pacquiao?

[RichCCFC]

De La Hoya moved down 7 lbs from 154 to 147, even fought at 150 inbetween to warm up for it

De La Hoya didn't fight at 147 for 7 years

Dawson moved down 7 lbs from 175 to 168, Dawson didn't fight at 168 for 6 years

[Jam Jars]

Dawson looked like **** and was hurt by punches that wouldn't have hurt him at 175. Ward needs to rematch Dawson at 175 sometime in the future.

Easy!! A black boxer won.

First 2 rounds could have been what the entire would would look like at 175.. Dawson was more than a match for Ward but stopped fighter after 2

[CHOWWOKKA]

They were both drained, Ward doesnt get much credit from me, Pacquiao doesnt get much credit from me


And DLH cut 10 lbs

Dawson isn't the first successful athlete from the 9th most populous country on Earth

also both guys wanted to go down in weight like idiots lol....but odlh case was different because pac was moving up two weight divisions where as ward stayed comfy at his natural weight class..

[gmc_rfc_06]

No difference.

Both he and Oscar looked awful, too tired to throw punches or even move and the punch resistance wasn't there.
