I always thought Chad was mentally weak with low ring iq. Combine that with the fight taking place @ 168 and it's a good win, not great.
"Scully said Dawson tortured himself on the day of the weigh-in to make the weight. And he said he didn't think Dawson was recovered by fight time the next day." "He did what he had to do. But in Chad's defense, what we went through to make weight was torture. I remember saying we should just cancel the fight and fight someone else [at light heavyweight]. He spent nine weeks tearing his body down; you don't get that back in 24 hours."
Yeah, ward was pretty dominant againt dawson...showed why he's #2PFP. Kovalev would be easier than dawson. ward would *****slap that racist skinhead all over the ring.
Too bad he won't be able to fight Kovalev at 168, but then again Ward can't fight at 168 either. Brand should really get him ready for 175 though.
But not quite as good a win as Lomachenko KO'ing Wlad at 126. I gave Loma full credit for beating the heavyweight champion as though it were at the weight. Wlad sacrificing all four limbs and his spleen to make weight had no bearing on the outcome.
If it had been at 175 then it would have been one of the better wins, but Dawson looked like **** at 168.
No it's not, Dawson has an awful Glass Jaw and even the limited Glen Johnson schooled him and almost won the fight. Dawson has no ring intelligence, no plan B, a Glass Jaw, no power. He was only built up by the American media, real boxing fans knew he was a fraud.
Can't we all just get back to Floyd hating and Pacman insults? This Ward-GGG stuff is seriously crazy.
Ward boxed a clinic against Dawson. Easy to dismiss the win now , but a lot thought Dawson was going to win and at the least - a boring 12 round points decision for Ward.
