It was a much more educated and smarter performance by Dawson. He didn't stand in front of Johnson and fight him on the inside a lot, like he did in the first fight. He also did a better job picking his shots from what I remember. Before he used to throw these fast five punch combos that were getting blocked a lot and sapping his energy. He cut down on those.

IIRC correctly, I think one or two of the judges giving Johnson five rounds in the rematch. That took me by surprise because I really couldn't see giving Johnson more than three, TBH.

yeah the rematch wasn't too hot. dawson did what he had to do, and i think johnson got several gift rounds.

dawson's fun to watch as far as speed and skills, but that's about it imo. i'll still watch his fights as long as someone else i like ain't on. i'm ready for his fight with pascal.

Yea, Bute is the truth. Great southpaw and a great body puncher.

Correct. He did some of that in the Ruiz fight. His handspeed was blazing in that fight, IIRC.

I finally got around to watching Pascal Froch, I think Pascal is a great fighter maybe a lhw version of Shane Mosley. I think Dawson Pascal is going to be a great fight.

Do you think a fight with Bhop is a good fight?

Have you seen johnson II and if you have is it any good?

Dawson gave him a boxing lesson, don't pay mind to the official scores in that fight it was nowhere near that close.

I gave Johnson the 12th round only but even that could be debated.
