Comments Thread For: Chad Dawson on TKO Loss: It Was a Punch I Didn't See

[ADP02]

I'm tired of refs not letting the champion get a fighting chance. Dawson got caught. It wasn't even on the chin. Let the man fight for christ's sake. Yeah it might have got stopped shortly after, but ****, give it a chance. We've all seen crazier stuff in the ring. ****in Canadians. Oh and 50 cent needs to get his ugly face out of the boxing scene. Too bad one of those bullets didn't hit his heart. He's a skid mark for boxing.

Wrong there bud. Chad was still out of it so the ref had no choice.

he fought angry and that was the reason he got ko'd

he was getting hit with just about everything stevenson threw thinking he was a hard man or somethin and was throwing hard jabs that he stepped into, he wasn't even thinking, throwing the same thing over and over, pity the foo

Stevenson landed 3 out of 16 punches. How was he getting hit by everything he threw.

Dawson will never be at the top level again. The reason is this. He had so much natural talent that took him to the top. Once there he became so vain, he thought he could do what he wanted and it would all be easy.

The writing was on the wall though. After the Pascal fight, he was bitter, blamed the ref, blamed his trainer, pointing his finger at everyone. After all, he was Chad Dawson. How could he possibly do something wrong?

A couple wins later he thinks he can go down 7 lbs and challenge Ward. He probably does not train enough, sweats off most of the weight, was hurt in sparring, but demanded his easy work fight against ward. They get him to the weight, he gets his a$$ handed to him as he does not even appear to be focused not only in the fight, but even the ring entrance. Of course it is not his fault. Fires his trainer, blames the weight loss, points more fingers.

Then comes last night. Had to google his "opponent" to find out who he was. Took him lightly, considered him nothing more than a tuneup to make him look good. Promptly gets starched. Blames the ref, probably blames Montreal, his trainer, his wife and kids also. He will not blame himself though. Not Chad Dawson. He probably googled Stevenson again after the fight last night to make sure everyone around him was not lying to him.

To that i say. Good Riddance.

It's all mental with Chad. He is blessed with physical gifts, but the problem is he's not mentally tough both in and outside the ring. When he beat Adamek, he had the making of the next great lhw, but I started to see signs of his poor attitude when he fired Floyd Mayweather Sr two weeks before a scheduled fight.

He's been underachieving since the Adamek fight, he hasn't done a whole lot to raise his stock the last four years. His poor decisions such as constantly changing trainers, combined with getting dumb fights (the Ward and Tarver fights) makes me wonder if he wants to be the best. And at the world class level you have to be at the top of your game in every fight, there is no excuses, and Dawson doesn't have the mental grit to be a great fighter. You are right he's done.

Dawsons face said it all it screamed im shot max leave me the fck alone.

I don't think so.

To me his face said what exactly he said. He got caught by a KO punch he didn't see. It happens.
