    Johnson might have won, but Dawson did enough to keep his title

      The 4th option doesn't mean anything to me.

      Either you win a fight or you don't... the notion of taking the title from the champion becomes relevant when there is a draw, but nothing more than that.

      I don't score fights... but I just felt compelled to say something about that.

          Same here. I still laugh at people crying over this one. People were acting like it was RJJ in the 88 Olympics in this mutha...

            Honestly, this was a very interesting and difficult fight to score...

            It depends on your personal preference to how much each Johnson punch was worth, and whether he landed enough in 7 rounds to overcome the numbers of Dawson's punches that landed. Johnson's were obviously harder, and Dawson obviously landed more, so... it just depends on how hard and clean you though Johnson's punches were compared to Dawson's lighter punches that come out a lot more often.

            Word.

              I had Johnson winning that fight, I felt that Dawson didn't land as many punches per round because he kept punching johnsons gloves. I don't really care about that fight now though because it was in the past, but I think it was a learning experience from Dawson even though I and many others felt he lost that fight. I personally thought Dawson was going to beat the older glen johnson but was shocked that night when I saw chad punching glens gloves to death.

                I had Dawson winning. In Glen's best rounds Dawson came right back at him and landed combinations of his own. Dawson proved to me that he can gut it out and go to war basically.

                Johnson acted as if he were homeless after the bout.

                  I did find the "paying bills" comment to be ridiculous for sure.

                    I had Dawson 7-5. What made it appear to be a bad decision was that Johnson won his rounds more convincingly. But the bottom line is that he didn't win enough rounds.
