Was it the punch or the weight?

[Mikhnienko]

Johnson 2x, Tarver 2x, Diaconu, Pascal, Hopkins never drop him but Ward who has never even hurt or dropped a decent SMW puts him down 3x and gives him wobbly legs at least another 3 or 4 times. Chad landed 29 total punches that's 3 punches landed per round. Ward looked great but anyone who thinks Chad wasn't horribly weight drained is delusional.

I think that punch was perfect and made Chad know that if he kept trying to win, he was gonna get hit with it again and again...i dont think Ward's punches would've hurt him as bad as they did, if this had been at 175...but from the fight you just know chad couldnt stop the left hook and couldnt handle ward's advantage in speed/technique...thats credit to ward...

His punch resistance was affected by the weight ... Ward doesn't hits harder than Pascal.

If boxing was a sport where people stand right in front of each other with their hands down and take turns punching each other until one falls, there might be meaning to your meaningless post.

Plus the chin

The first Left hook Ward landed, was picture perfect on the jaw.... You dont need to be able to punch through walls to hurt someone... It was an incredibly accurate, perfectly timed shot, and Dawsons legs never recovered from it.

Ward is a smart fighter. He takes what there is to be taken. He's not feather fisted, if anything this fight proves that at least. The punch in the 3rd was pretty much a perfect shot.

Not too mention being unable to get out of the way of the jabs or the body shots.

All these f****** excuses for Dawson, Ward was a 4-1 fav for a reason and proved it tonight.

lol sure. What SMW's has he ever hurt again? Even Kessler who wasn't able to see his right hands coming and wouldn't even react to them was eating flush right hands all night long without being remotely phased.
