Chad Dawson looked like he always looks

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

^^^ Its because hes a soft mental midget. Ive been saying he doesnt have it all between the ears. Ward does.

To me he looked dead from the opening bell, and when he got him with those light shots and went down it was clear.

I noticed no difference in the way he fought at all. The only thing that appeared strange was his inability to take Ward's punches. However, he was mainly being hurt with a sneaky fast hook on the inside that he couldn't see, while throwing his own hook. Sometimes that can hurt more than some heavy/powerful shot that yo can see coming, like something from the Adamek fight.

Again, who knows whether the weight hurt him or not.

What happened was Andre Ward dominated & stopped him. That's all I know for sure, and I was personally very impressed with his performance.

he looked the same as pascal, he couldnt adapt to the style, so he doesnt try much just lets the fight go by, this time he wasnt fighting them old dudes or the amateur sloppy pascal

i told yall ward will dominate easy cause he can adapt to lot of styles hes proven it before n he did it again, the first two rounds he was figuring him out, u can see that dawson looked like he was gona make it a good fight

i agree. dawson has looked crap for years. he just mentally checked out of the fight after he got knocked down those first two times.

What the **** are you talking about

He looked great against hopkins witch no one normaly dos, he had one lackluster fight against pascal that is all.

I fed up with people that dont understand that when two fights are in a fight, and one of them is more skilled ,the other one will look less good, but that has NOTING to do with have the loosing fighter would look against another apponent.

Dawson would proberly have completly outboxed most fighters this saturday but he meet a better fighter, period end of story

Eric Harding knocked down and hurt Dawson with a jab. And that bum Shannon Miller put him on his ass too. It's not like Dawson is known for his steel chin.

Dawson was also knocked down vs Adamek and had his legs buckle like 3 times vs Pascal, Johnson may have even hurt him once or twice too.


Wards shots were placed PERFECTLY on the chin of Dawson, shots Chad didn't see and those dropped him.

Whether he was at LHW or SMW he was going down vs Ward.

I gotta agree... first two rounds, chad was looking pretty good... when chad got knocked down, he went back into his pot-shotting shell and ward just outjabbed and outworked him. dawson doesn't have a good boxing mind... he couldn't adjust to the jab at all and was getting peppered with it at will...

ward either is very smart or had a great game plan... ward was hurting chad to the body with hard right hands... then when chad dropped his guard to block those right hands, ward started shooting his left to nail chad's unprotected noggin, and later he was able to land right hands too... chad fought a dumb fight... he should've used his legs more for his defense instead of just ducking down and standing in front of ward..

lol I don't think he has/had a steel chin..I just wasn't expecting to see Ward hurt him. That's also the only reason I can see why anyone would say he was weight drained, because he appeared to fight like he always fights. Thanks for the info though, I have never watched the Shannon Miller fight.

ward was just too good no version of dawson beats ward.
