You are right. He didnt beat the real Chad. He beat a shell of a Chad Ward vs Dawson at 175 would have been a real treat for boxing fans Instead.... we got treated to yet another abominable mismatch
Agreed on both counts....and I'm a Ward fan. I don't blame Ward for accepting the terms. Dawson called him out and offered to move down. But fighting above 168, even say 172, makes this win a lot more credible.
Blame Dawson for putting his foot in his mouth. He called out Ward at 168. Even at 175 Ward has to be slightly favored.
I agree . i dont think its a legit win either . Dawson was clearly drained . You can see there was something obviously not right with him .
