Yo "Sad" Chad Dawson....

This was Dawson's first major test and he passed it. It was the first time that he was in against an experienced fighter such as Johnson and the first time that he had to face adversity. You are also forgetting the fact that Roy didn't step up his competition and faced seasoned vets until he had over 30 fights. Dawson had only 25 fights and is already facing the best fighters that are out there. Dawson takes more chances than peak Jones did. Its just a different level of competition. Give him time, he is young and will learn from this experience. I seriously doubt that after watching the tape of this fight again, he will not brawl or abandon his height and reach advantage again. He will stick to boxing and use his foot speed and movement more.
Styles makes fights and Dawson ******ly fought on the inside from the opening bell, it wasn't what ''Johnson got him to do''. Dawson was trying to knock out Johnson early and he learned that it as not the thing to do. He should have boxed early, then stepped up the later rounds and stopped Johnson from accumulation. Instead if doing that, he tired him self out early by loading up on big punches and wasting energy. He made the fight tougher than it had to be. The Dawson that fought Adamek would have beaten Johnson handily because he boxed. Adamek would have had the same success that Johnson had if that version of Dawson showed up because he didn't use his tools.
I think Dawson underestimated Glen.Glen is 39 and i think Dawson thought he could just steamroll him.
Most of the people thats critisizing Dawson are just Bandwagon jumpers.
They`ll be back on when he looks spectacular.Comment

You may have. Kessler and I are the only people Ive seen supporting Tarver here. Everyone else hates him it seems.Comment

I think Chad won by one round on Saturday, Chad looked very good early on in the fight but Johnson really impressed me too. I think Chad was slightly overrated but I think Johnson was VERY underrated. He was hungry for this fight because it could have been his last.Comment
