Comments Thread For: Andre Ward: You Saw Me at 85%, Best is Yet To Come

[110110110]

to me he looked like a zombie and I'm not the only who thought that. Dawson was a skinny 175, pure muscle so he cut muscle to make the weight and that's never a good thing. I could understand if he was waterweight but it wasn't. look at him then take into consideration that he was having problems making the weight and getting floored by sparring partners. it was a weight drain. I'm not blaming Ward because it wasn't his fault but lets not fool ourselves and believe he magically turned into a power puncher because he didn't.

this is the Ward weigh in.

GTFO with that crappy picture, you have exposed yourself for trying to manipulation the truth.

This is a real picture, and this is before he can drink and eat all he wants.
He looks perfect and anyone that says otherwise have a agenda.

Compare that to Chavez jr, if Dawson was drained then Charvez was attacked by a thousind wampires that ****** all blood and life out of him.http://www.boxingscene.com/uploads/5...0(720x541).jpg
And we know have much he blows up after the weigh in.

And finally, why is it Dawson have not said one littel pip about being drained after that beating ?, forget scully, if dawson feelt that the weight affected him he would have been all over the news crying rematch at LH

Kinda scary to think that he can actually fight...BETTER then what we have seen so far, I am having a hard time trying to remember the last time I seen Ward "CLEARLY LOSE A ROUND"

#1 P4P IMO!

Then do it on the road as well. Look what happened to Bute in England.....and Ward wanted no parts of Canada....

So what you're saying is when Bute fights Froch in Canada it'll be the reverse result and Bute will dominate Froch?

dawson was weight drained

America isn't a town......

If he was always getting the nod on close decisions then it would be an issue but since his fights have all been pretty one-sided I think that the fact he always fights at home a moot point...........

Ha ha I laughed a little on this in agreement with you.


Saying America is hometown advantage when the fights are one sided is pretty silly. Like California and North Dakota are anything alike.

The truth is Ward will be fighting soon enough in Vegas, Floyd the #1 P4P hometown in which he has fought in every fight since 2008. Most of his fights have been in Vegas where he lives plus he's had a couple in Grand Rapids where he was born as well. But I guess that means Floyd isn't a real P4P because he fights in his hometown.

This whole argument is silly and shows a lack of being able to access performances and talent by many people on this site.

[WESS]

Dawson didn't give any excuses nor did he take anything away from Ward and yet Ward says he was only 85%... I would love to see him at 100% and at 175.

dawson was weight drained

No he was not, Dawson have stated long time before the Ward fight that he wanted to campaign at supermiddel because he could make weight comfortbly.

Home is home, whether it's his hometown or country.

[MASTER1454]

Hometown and home country are 2 different places are they not?

See my above post.....

Ward hasn't fought in hostile territory yet where he's up not only his opponent, but the crowd as well, now has he?
