I dont think 8-4 was proper, but 1 round the other direction saw it a draw at that would've been fair as well. I asked Bernstein and he said he thought it was a draw and he said that press row scoring for them had it a majority draw or decision for Dawson he couldn't remember. So while 8-4 is off it isn't waaaaayyyyyyy off. 9-3 would be. And the fightne.ws guy had it 117-111 for Dawson and that made him very unpopular with everyone.

    fair enuff. by waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy off, i meant for each judge to have seen it 8-4. watching the fight, there is just no way to have chad winning THAT WAY, unless you were just intent on giving him rounds he didn't win convincingly. i heard max kellerman say something very true a while back, and that is "ppl are scared to score rounds 10-10 nowadays." if a round is that close, and neither really does anything to take it, or 1 guy does something, and the other guy responds, nothing wrong with a 10-10 round. if you've actually got to sit and think "man, who won that round?" it should be 10-10. maybe the judges gave most of the close rounds to dawson........

    but like i said, i think the right man won, but you really couldn't argue had it gone either way. hats off again to glen johnson. he made it very compelling, and after the first 2 rounds, it looked like he was completely overmatched, and would get completely outworked.

      LOL at the people saying Johnson got robbed, like it was ****ing RJJ at the 88 Olympics or something. Dawson won that fight. 116-112? Naw. But some of you need to calm down on the robbery bull****.

        Even if Johnson were to win the match, he doesn't bring the market value that most guys are looking for in an opponent

              but that should never count towards the outcome of a decision, i thought a draw would have been fair.

                A draw is the closest but I think even that is pushing it. Overall Johnson just didn't do enough to win the belt. If he were to win there would be more people saying that Dawson should've won, but he still put on a great match

                  Bingo. People stop crying. The score was a little too large, but it was a close fght. Johnson did not get robbed.

                    im going to put it this way, Dawson/Johnson was the best Light heavyweight fight involving elite light heavyweights we have seen a more than sometime. An absolute battle of back and fortha nd spectacular ebb and flow. Neither man should've been booed. GREAT FIGHT

                      Out pointing Dawson per round isn't enough to take the belt? What does Glen need to knock Dawson the **** out so he doesn't get robbed?
