Neither guy did enough to win yet we got so many people on here claiming robbery or justifying a win for either guy. I thought this fight was EASY to score. Practically every round had a clearcut winner, so you guys were either drunk (I was last night) or didn't watch close enough (you don't need to be judging fights). I scored it like so:

    1: 10-9 Dawson
    2: 10-9 Dawson
    3: 10-9 Johnson
    4: 10-9 Johnson
    5: 10-9 Johnson
    6: 10-9 Dawson
    7: 10-9 Dawson
    8: 10-9 Dawson
    9: 10-9 Dawson
    10: 10-9 Johnson
    11: 10-9 Johnson
    12: 10-9 Johnson

    114-114 EVEN

    Now a lot of people are saying, "Well, Dawson didn't LOOK like he thought he won". Well, of course he's not gonna look happy. He's undefeated and has never been close to losing so he had every right to be nervous or upset. Then people say, "Well, the crowd thought he lost." OH REALLY!? Isn't Johnson from Florida? Even if he's not, he's a fan favorite everywhere. People are so familiar with his sob stories about being robbed like Augustus that people will always root for him. All I know is Johnson was cheered into the arena and Dawson got some boos. Midway through the fight when Dawson was boxing or "Running" as dumbasses call it, he got booed.

    It was a good, close fight, but no way does either guy have a legit claim to winning it. There is no strong case to be made for either fighter. If so, show me some scorecards.
    the 3 judges at ringside disagreed with you... thats where the case comes in for Dawson winning

      Close decisions that can go either way are not robberies!

      Santa Cruz - Casamayor was a robbery
      D-Hop - Forbes was a robbery

      PacMan - Marquez II was not a robbery, could have went either way

      The scoring of this fight is similar to the ones of the 1st Mayweather - Castillo battle & where no matter who you thought won, the disparity & the wide margin of victory of the official scorecards didn't tell the tale of the fight! For the record I scored that fight either a draw or 1 point to Castillo (at least Floyd gave an IMMEDIATE rematch) & it was the same for this one a draw or 1 point to Johnson!

      I didn't agree with 8-4 in favor of Johnson, that's B-S when he CLEARLY swept the last 3 rds! So they're telling me that Glencoffe only won 1 additional round? I somewhat agree with Johnson that it has to do with politics just as much if not more than skills & actually winning rounds/fights!

      It was a great fight, just not a great decision...but it was NOT a robbery!
