Comments Thread For: IBF Same Day Weights: Golovkin 168.6, Lemieux 169.2

[youbeight]

I say dawson needed the money and got KO'd by a light puncher he was so weak

Then rematch pascal again in Canada where the money is at.

[imperial1]

So he can make 168. But wanted Ward at 164 sad

[nivek535]

Interesting. Both are coming in as light heavyweights on fight day.

Golovkin will only face Ward at 164, doe.

yea because LHWs never rehydrate LOL...... they come in under 175 on fight night right?? :*******:

You flip flop just as hard as Dawson does

"My honest opinion is it was definitely a set up by HBO and other people too. It was set up for me to come in at 168. I would be vulnerable and they could expose it and he would look good at the same time. That's just my opinion on the whole situation. We could've done it at a catch weight where we both would've been comfortable but they wanted it at 168. They wanted me to come to Oakland. And I know HBO has high hopes for Andre Ward. I know they have high hopes for him and they want to make him this big champion but that's water under the bridge for me."

what are you saying here that they set up dawson so mental ward would look good? that is what I was saying

[Dip_Slide]

If u can rehydrate 9 pounds and this is the morning weigh in, so untill the fight u can expect him to be a couple of pounds heavier than that, then ladies and gentlemen this is not what a sane person would call a "small" middleweight, he's a normal sized full fledged middleweight.

Flip side to the situation is that more people are growing more aware of the fact that boxing is a business, the same people who crtiticized proven HOFers of making decisions only based on business and called them cowards, are the same ones supporting GGG for doing the exact same thing.

Yeah before the fight they were saying everything would be good, they offered to go to 168. Then they flip flop after they lose.

Even his trainer says so:

Then after the fight:

You can't believe a word they say.

But Ward drained him doe......

Haters trying to grasp for any straw.

Some guys are desperate and pathetic!

Ward didnt even send a damn counteroffer to the 164 => means he doesnt want it with GGG.

Same as in the HBO Meeting, GGG = READY to fight. Ward = UUH UUH Excuses!

That hoax offer when GGG already signed another fight and you guys still defend that liar?

You can enjoy a real fighter tonight and appreciate the sport of boxing.

[Dip_Slide]

if they're the same size then ward can make 164 lbs just as easily as golovkin can, right?

Whatever happened to fighters moving up in weight and fighting bigger fighters and overcoming? Great fighters overcome size and weight disadvantages.

Choo choo ggg hype train!!!

A wonderful day to be a boxing fan!
