Re: Just another one of Wacko's Drunken Round by Rounds Adamek vs Dawson.
yeah thats too bad about jesus man i had him winning up to that point too!
u all see him sporting the REX jersey for my BEARS?????????
Re: Just another one of Wacko's Drunken Round by Rounds Adamek vs Dawson.
Dawson looked great tonight up till that knockdown. He recovered well from it, I thought, and won the fight handily, against a top three LH, or least top 5 LH. Chad Dawson could very well be the future undisputed champ of the division, he better watch that posing and posturing stuff though, thats what will get him clocked. Boy can he box though.
Re: Just another one of Wacko's Drunken Round by Rounds Adamek vs Dawson.
An observation on Jesus Chavez that I meant to bring up a while back when I first noticed this in an interview they did on him during the talk of MAB vs. Chavez.....
Has anyone else noticed the twitching/squinting of the eyes repetetively?
I don't recall seeing him do that years back, anyone else notice this?
Re: Just another one of Wacko's Drunken Round by Rounds Adamek vs Dawson.
I noticed this during the interview and I noticed it even more tonight especially as they waited for the opening bell to sound Chavez was doing it....
Re: Just another one of Wacko's Drunken Round by Rounds Adamek vs Dawson.
looks like a Terry Norris> granted he got up and won the fight but he never should have been down in the first place. against Tarver he wouldn't have gotten back up

Ah! shit!!!
Starr is in the house!!! can I get a woot-woot!! 8)
Anywho.... I'll repeat myself for you....
That was a solid punch Adamek landed and as I said before Adamek was up untill that fight was probably the best Light. Heavy in the div. right next to Hopkins & Tarver..... Hard puncher and a tough rugged fighter I said this prior to the fight.....
You're right at the moment he would loose to Hops & Tarver and you and I both know thats what boxings about making some noise if it means over matching on TV....
He'll probaly end up fighting the winner of Branco-Drews or the winner of Diaconu-Hoye.

What I didn't like was that he needed to be more aggressive when he had Adamek going back and covering up he could have and should have finished him off would he have been more aggressive when he had Adamek hurt....
Not a bad night at all, just that people that havent seen much of him are putting tooo much emphasis on the knockdown....

Don't be such a drama queen. I said that I was impressed...I'm just noting what I view as chinks in his armor...so to speak.
Also...I've seen plenty of the youngin & you know that from the start I aint been sold on him as a whole. Wev'e had this little talk before & I stand by what I said the last time we hashed it out...in so many words or less...I like him...but I'm just not ready to get on the wagon just yet...
He's still just a kid with much to learn & he's riding a hype rollercoaster. He's just gone straight to the top & is about to hit the first decent of a rocky ride...should be interesting...but I aint screamin & throwing my hands up just yet.
Honestly though, neither he nor Adamek should be compared to or linked as being next to Jones & especially not Hopkins...I know you know better than that. Surely you don't believe that? :-[
I mean...sure...you can compare him to Tarver or Johnson...& I might lean in that direction, but not the other two names prior.
It's just to early in the game for that.

Seriously, this guy's handspeed is sick for a LHW. I wouldn't mind seeing him against Woods now. But I wouldn't want to put him in B-Hop or Tarver now.
:coolclick: Very well said...& that's about what I said & about how I feel...but for some reason tonight...the queens of drama (or as I likes to call em...the drama queens) are all gangin up on poor ole Wacky for his observations.
I'd love to see him in with Woods.
Hopkins would slaughter him...hand speed or not.
Tarver? Eh...it'd be a good fight...scarey at times...but I think he could take Tarver. Tarver has issues down the stretch...even though most commentators like to say that Dawson does...I totally don't see it.
Tonight he did...but he got clocked & he threw a hell of a lot of shots with an amazing connection percentage...the kid did good...& again...I never said that he didn't. He looked good...I just think that he needs to work on his defense & such.

:coolclick: Agreed 100% on the highlighted. That confidence shit will kill em everytime.
Also...YEP...the kid is fast & he can put some shots together with ease. Very very fluid with his jab to the set up.
Combinations just rolled out like melted butter.

:coolclick: Agreed....he should never have put himself in the position to even take a shot like that...not after he was pulling that lead. I think it's just a lack of in experience & he'll grow into his role...but I hate to think that he's gotta grow up so fast now...being the NEW & alla that mess.
That'll have to put a strain on him. Maybe Mayweather can turn him into something more as far as the defensive flaws & thought pattern goes. One thing no one has touched on...he didn't listen to a gotdam thingy dingy Mayweather said after the knockdown.
Mayweather told him to hold on & jab & not get into a slugfest more or less...& he did just the opposite.

The kids got talent and if he can accomplish half of what RJJ or half of what Hops did in their careers then he should be proud of himself....
By the way whos been comparing him as the next RJJ or Hops? Was it an article I missed or just someone here runnin' they mouf's.......
Re: Just another one of Wacko's Drunken Round by Rounds Adamek vs Dawson.
wacko with your comment I could almost think you're afraid Dawson may become another Vargas in a case of too much too soon?
Anyway Dawson has a lot of growing up to do, it almost looks like he wants to be Chris Eubank and Roy Jones all rolled up into one and it gets him clocked on occasion. And like I said he shouldn't have been standing there to get hit.
What I want to know is where his jab went after the first 6 rounds. After that he was leading with left hooks like he was Roy Jones and it was his lack of using his jab that got him dropped in the 10th. Lots of potential but those flaws better be wprked on because they are flaws that could cost him that title he just won against someone on talent he should beat easier.

Agreed on that note...if he can accomplish half of what Jones or Hopkins did in their careers then he should be proud of himself.
I just don't have the faith that you have in him.

Some guy I know that loves to be rumped in the bump by wild elephants eluded to the matter of Adamek probably being the best 175lber in the division next to Hopkins & Tarver.
Also, them tards over at ESPN (Atlas & Tessitore) can hardly speak for fear of choking on his bag & has said that he could give Jones a tuff & competitive fight. Showtime's bwoyz tonight almost made me spew my drink across the living room & onto the wide screen over their nonsensical banter.
Like I said...I like him...but he aint ready for Jones or Hopkins.

Do you ever go to sleep you drunken bastard?! ;D Seriously, he's no B-hop and DAMN sure no RJJ, nor does he look to have the makings of one. But he is one of the best out there right now. Speaking of Jones, I sincerely hope that him and Hopkins do fight, I would much rather see that than B-hop vs Winky at 170, how bout you?
Re: Just another one of Wacko's Drunken Round by Rounds Adamek vs Dawson.
Well well, not the result I was expecting to see at all. From looking at Dawson I did think it might have been too much too soon for him to go for this title, but he did well from looking at the RBR, and deserves the plaudits. WTG Wack for the sterling coverage again....sorry I couldn't stay up with you, but guests are such hard work. :p
Re: Just another one of Wacko's Drunken Round by Rounds Adamek vs Dawson.
Very impressed with Bad Chad DAWSON! He is an awesome fighter. Granted he is a little rough around the edges,he fought possibly the best fighter in the division,certainly in the top 3 and put a beat down on him. He began to grow over confident when he got clocked,but that was him following Mayweather Snrs advice(Mayweather told him to go after Adamek),he should have just continued to box but
he has a great jab.
works head and body
can counter punch off the ropes and lead.
his hand speed is awesome!
Granted he is still only 24,and will continue to improve,even when he got knocked down,he showed great poise to survive,holding on and it also showed he is good at following his corners' instructions.Obviously he would get picked apart by B Hop NOW but he would still be no easy fight for Hopkins. No way. The handspeed,the jab and those ripping bodyshots were awesome! I've only seen him once before,he looked good but yesterday,he did it on a world stage. Stylistically too,as a southpaw who was originally right handed,he is a nightmare for anyone in the division as he has power! He should keep Mayweather senior too,they seem to have a good rapport and with more concentration,focus and drive,this kid is going places.
He should be given HUGE kudos for fighting a warrior in Adamek. ALOT of peeps though Adamek would be too much,too soon for Chad.Mick,you nailed this one!! You've been talking about this kid for ages!
Re: Just another one of Wacko's Drunken Round by Rounds Adamek vs Dawson.
Diaz was such a dick....acting like he single-handidly made Chavez's knee tear. No class. Luckily he is in a division where it is going to take pretty much an armored tank to get completely on top.
Adamek completely surprised me at how much slower he is. And why did the announcers keep mentioning Glen Johnson.......and only mentioned Clinton Woods once??
