Was it the punch or the weight?

Chad pretty much has two gears, pressure behind the tight guard (which was doing ok in the first 2 rounds) and go defensive doing his best "whitaker on defense" impression , to set up single shot counters.....he is not able to switch them up whenever he wants to, like Ward can do all his gears...Chad lacks that dynamism...
Shame this didnt happen at 75 eventually, that way there really wouldve been no excuses...The way this ended will give Dawson even more mental baggage

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.

Just the punch. No excuses Chad, you lost the fight fair and square. You said you could make the weight easily. He's going to lose a lot of fans including me if he keeps this up.

i choose! it was getn his butt whooped by a far better fighter! drain doesnt limit your punch out put like that! wake up ! dawson said he felt comfortable at the weight! I think at 175 ward still dominates dawson with the same skill.

Originally posted by Own3d View PostOf course it does, like he said after the fight he couldn't get his punches off.
Not being able to get off doesnt automatically mean it was because he was drained, Ward wasnt giving him clear openings, and Dawson isnt the type of fighter to throw when theres no opening.
