Bullshit. AD has tought him everything he knows. People should leave AD alone on here.
Is Ad up there with him? If he is, he does care. If he is not, that should tell you everything you need to know...
Yes Ad is with him. He out grew ad. Ad is a has been just like Mike Tyson
Dominic Wade lost tonight. He was stopped at 1:34 of the second round with a body shot. He will turn pro upon returning to Washington DC. Adrian Davis is actully excited about the kid turning pro.
Dominic Wade will return and focus on his pro debut that will be held in the Nations Capital Washington DC. Adrian Davis will remain in his corner and JD Brown will move them both in the right direction.
Trust me, Wade might not do anything in the open class amatures, but he will make plenty of noise in the pros. He will be fighting at Lt. Heavy 175lbs throughout his pro career. The body shot that he was caught with in Chattanooga was a lucky punch, it will never happen again. DOMO will rise to the top. He is boxing out of the best damn gym in the USA. ROUND 1 !!!!!!!
The bodie shots its not what stoped Dominic Wade. yea he lost but not from bodie shot. I was their> I no what happend. He will still be champ you wacth an see.
he is best in USA rite now. He will do better in pro. Round 1 rules boxing in MD VA DC
Rd 1 don't have no fighters up there. Those guys are bums. Dominic is the only fighter RD1 has. The pros are even bums. Ask him about his Grandson last fight.
Hey its me Eric Davis, Dominic is a very good experienced fighter, that was taught by my uncle, so why not go further with my uncle. The best legendary trainer Adrian Davis who's training record speaks for it self. What cause Dominic lost, my uncle's some shit. My uncle has love for all of his fighters. Stop hating and join.
