Chad Dawson : Post Fight Interview - What a dick !!

[Quixall]

This is a video of the post fight press conference with Chad Dawson.............

I am starting to wonder if Chad Dawson is delusional. He honestly believes that he won this fight fair and square and i find it rather embaressing. Chad Dawson didn't win this fight, he didn't knock out Bernard Hopkins, Dawson either fouled Hopkins or accidently threw him to the ground. Bernard Hopkins then dislocated his shoulder and couldn't continue. These are the facts !!

This scenario doesn't match up to how Dawson is acting and whatt he is saying. Maybe it's because the refereee got it wrong and claimed it was a "technical knockout" rather than the no contest that it should of been and this is giving some validity and excuse to Dawson to then claim the win as legal, fair and above board. He claims that Hopkins quit, but Dawson doesn't give an explanation as to how you can fight on with a discolated shoulder. He then goes on to say that he knew Hopkins wanted to quit at the weigh in because according to Dawson, Hopkins said he was a "Gangsta" which is quite bizzare. Then to cap it all Winky Wright comes on stage to say that Hopkins quit, was a dirty fighter and that Dawson "had to do what he had to do......."

Why couldn't Dawson have said that whilst he was now the new world champion, he recognised the fact that he had won the fight on the basis of a wrong decision by the referee and that in his mind Hopkins was in no state to continue and the contest should have been ruled a no contest. Then he should have gone on to say that he will give Hopkins a guaranteed re-match when he fit enough to resume his career and fight again. It is beyond me that any man can say that he won a fight when it is fornicating obvious to everyone that the reality is the complete opposite. Chad Dawson you are a disgrace and not worthy of respect.

For the Dawson interview go to approx 8 mins 30 seconds

Nah, I can't call him a dick for that. It was silly to throw Hopkins like that, but Hopkins is a dirty fighter and I guess Chad had got it into his head that he was gonna rough up Hopkins right back and beat him at his own game. I'm sure they'd thought about that aspect of the fight all the way through training for a fighter like Hopkins.

Then Hopkins has a reputation for over-acting to get points deducted or to get a fighter thrown out. It's always annoying when he does it because almost all of us agree Hopkins is a really good fighter who really doesn't need to pull that kind of crap to win.

Dawson had worked himself up into a mindset where he was going to out-rough the gangster. He'd also been training hard for the fight. He WANTED to fight.

So when Hopkins did his thing, whether he was really injured or not (I think he was) I can understand that Dawson was angry. Like, "Get up dude!" and you can understand how, after all that work and psyching himself up the most important night of his boxing career had just turned into an absolute dud. He was probably also pissed at himself for having done the throw in the first place, but it really was a freak accident that it effed up Bernards arm so bad. It was obviously just to rattle him and to show he couldn't muscle Dawson around. So the reaction was a mixture of anger at Hopkins and himself.

But after all Hopkins talking, you have to agree he didn't come across as some OG warrior at the end of this fight. And he lied at the end, or was creative with the truth anyway, when he said in the post fight interview that he wanted to continue with one arm. He definitely said it like: "Yeah sure I can fight... WITH ONE F*CKING ARM YOU RETARD!" (Not the exact quote, before anyone get's annoyed and says he never said that) but that was basically the gist of it. He certainly didn't want to carry on.

Look, I think it should be a NC. But I feel sorry for Dawson if it get's changed because it was an accident that Bernard got hurt like that. And I feel sorry for Bernard if the result doesn't get overturned, because he really doesn't deserve to go out like that.

Immediate rematch should be mandated. That's it.

Basically I was saying if he genuinely believed that Hopkins punked out, then of course he genuinely believed he won. And he would feel justified in being angry in that case. I did feel for him. And I'd really started to like Hopkins recently.

Both just get over it and fight again.

[grannyman]

I think he came across like a knob too. Also, I was very impressed with the interviewer for trying to force an explanation from the WBC dude. The ref looked a bit too pleased sfterwards too.

What pisses me off are those two brothers you always see with their dad at the start, part of the Al Haymon gang.

When the decision was called the pair of them were screaming and beckoning at the camera like a pair of cheerleaders. How dare they laugh and point at Hopkins, what the hell have they ever done to stand in the ring on camera belittling Hopkins?

[Twinkle Toes]

The only people who should be pissed off are the fans, another high profile fight turning into a complete farce.

Another black eye for boxing.

The 2 Winky Wright lookalikes are Sam Watson's sons.

those two tossers always annoy me. arrogant little idiots chewing gum in the background while buffer is doing the MC. they are ugly looking c*nts as well.

[observer1]

That official was just ridiculous also.

He was stuttering all over the place when Max requested to interview the Referee. The entire commission is just glaringly incompetent. But we knew that anyway

Funnily enough the referee was helped out of the ring, and out of the Building !!

[big lennox]

What a proper cheap way to win a world title. He fouled Hopkins out of frustration, I beleive as he found him very hard to hit. I think Hopkins was proving to be a nightmare for him.

To hear him talk down to Pascal like that as well is embarrassing.He is not the current world champion in my eyes.It's also telling that he doesn't want a rematch with Hopkins.

[Rocky Balboa]

Forget whether it should have been called a NC or not, forgetting whether a foul was or was not committed. The way Dawson heckled & abised an all time Great in Hopkins was/is a disgrace. Shows a complete lack of class from Dawson. The longer he's with or associated with Gary Shaw, the more & more he's becoming like him.

Soon, hardly anyone will like Dawson in the Boxing fraternity, juts as hardly anyone like Shaw!

I agree.Shaw is a risible individual, and Dawson did not come out of this well at all.

[whiskey]

I suppose Dawson is excused for thinking B-hop looked for the foul play and point deduction. Afterall he has often done it previously.

Nonetheless the win / fight means absolutely nothing as it was not concluded.

Poor american fans, shelled out $60 or whatever for that load of crank. and the worse thing is the pair of them would get ANOTHER full fight purse for a rematch.

No wonder Dawson and Bhop struggle to draw flies on their own. They need each other or another name, to make the gate sell.

Dawson vs Tarver 1 & 2 did a grand total of 1,600 tickets combined. Yet both men picked up over a mill per fight.
