I guess I'll go with the crowd and pick Dawson. Its been 18 months since their first encounter. Dawson would have only improved and Johnson would've only slowed down.

I can't see their rematch being as close as the first.

Dawson by wider decision.

Yeah Dawson should be too quick I think. Johnson looked pretty ordinary in his last fight also IMO.

I'm actually looking forward to Glen getting beat. I used to like the guy but his constant whinging has started to get to me a bit of late.

Whether he wins or loses, Johnson should probably retire after this. He's had a good career and fought the best of the best. I was looking up his record, apparently he fought Sven Ottke too in '99.

I agree. The whole "the first fight was a robbery" bull**** annoys me. I thought it was a close but clear win for Dawson.

He looked ordinary in the fights before the first Dawson fight, so I don't think that will play a big role.

I thought it was close, but Glen got the first fight. But to be fair, I have seen nearly all Glen's fights, and in most of he losses he has been hard done by 90% of the time.

So I guess he has a right to moan, as it must be hard getting ripped off all the time, when you put so much hard work and dedication into the sport!

I used to have sympathy for him, but I don't anymore.

The first Tarver fight pissed me off a fair bit too. Clear, clear win for Antonio, yet Glen gets it. Its not like he has always been ripped off. And his whinging after the first Dawson fight was disgraceful. Nothing annoys me more than when a fighter loses a close fight and carries on like it was the worst robbery in history.

IMO, if you know how to score a fight, the first fight was definately won by Dawson. Johnson did the better work over the twelve rounds but fights are scored on a round by round basis, and Chad clearly won more rounds.

Anyways, I hope Dawson destroys Johnson next week.

Lots of top boxing writers scored the fight for Glen, it was a very close fight, and I thought Glen edged it, he also had Dawson out on his feet.

Both Tarver fights, were razor close. No one dominated both of them, and Tarver even admitted this himself.

Glen also deserved the fights against Oktte, Judah 1, Gonzalez, Sosa, Branco, and I thought he won every Woods fight!

And I really hope Glen beats up Dawson, next week!

Fair enough.

I watched Tarver-Johnson I twice and I couldn't find a way to give it to Glen.

I guess it's all a matter of a opinion!
