Who won Dawson-Johnson I?

[mspiegelo]

i had it 115-113 johnson upon first viewing- but i havent scored it again and have to admit that i was realy hype for johnson to win and was really excited when he hurt dawson, so I could have been a tad biased....

regardless, i think dawson is smart enough now (we all know he is skilled enough) to choose to outbox Ol' Glen and not slug in a rematch. plus glen will only be older and slower next time around. johnson does NOT know how to cut off the ring- he is a hopeless follower and IMO would lose a rematch lopsidedly.

chads reflexes are much better than roys were when he got ko'ed. Plus when chad chooses too, he has the legs to stay off the ropes, where johnson is dangerous (unless you are a slick counter-punching middleweight with pinpoint accuracy, in the prime of your hall of fame career and your name is Bernard Hopkins)...

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.

Just like DeLaHoya- Trinidad... but that was a bad decision.

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

Does he accept donations?? I'll paypal him a couple of bucks.

it was just like his 3rd fight with Clinton Woods, Johnson won that fight as well, he landed the harder shots

Your avatar gives me the impression that you are skills.

I already know one of your other alts, as much as you would like to try to deny it, but...

Give me a holler if I'm right!

a fight that close can not be called a robbery either way... Johnson didn't dominate Dawson by any means. The Woods fight was more of a robbery- it was in England and that **** happens. The Dawson- Johnson fight was in Tampa which is pretty much in Johnson's backyard...

On this board every close decision will have people crying robbery. Nothing will ever change that either.

I heard someone tell me that Forrest was robbed in his rematch with Mayorga.

How about that?

You know what, I was at that fight live in Las Vegas. I thought Mayorga won. Everyone sitting around me was rooting for Forrest, and nobody complained about the decision. When I got back home I read some posts saying that Forrest should have won. I didn't believe that, but when I watched the HBO replay it looked a whole lot different and I could see where Forrest could have won. There are certain intangible things you see live. Most people that watched Mosley-DLH II on TV thought Oscar was robbed, but most of the press and live crowd felt that Shane was landing the much harder punches (plus they weren't hearing the HBO propaganda). I've heard this about other fights that I can't remember this minute too.

But "robbed"?

I also watched the fight as a Forrest fan and didn't see him winning, at all.

Even if he won the fight (barely at best), that was not a robbery at all.
