I had it a draw, I would like to see it again though.
I thought it was even for the first six rounds, then it started to turn into Dawson's fight but Johnson came right back in the late rounds of the fight.
It seemed to me that Glen Johnson blocked many of Dawson's punches but could not really answer because of his old age and Dawson's speed/movement.
Dawson's punches made a lot of noise but most of them were blocked.
When Glen did land punches, he was much more effective with them than Dawson was. Johnson was never really hurt while Dawson was hurt several times in the fight.
Johnson was also the aggressor, initiating the punching exchanges and that won him a few close rounds on my scorecard.
So did Dawson's 'ring generalship' when he started to fight his fight by jabbing and moving even though he did not land much cleanly.
A rematch would be great, the fight was entertaining but I doubt it will happen, a unification fight with Tarver is probably what Dawson and his management have next on his mind.
Glen should be looking for a second fight with Roy Jones or the vacant WBA title.
