Dawson Grabs Home Field Advantage on Glen Johnson

[catalinul]

They don't give decisions, you earn them. Glen didn't earn a decision in Florida, if he earns one in CT, he will get it.

I'm not saying I thought he won the fight.I had it a draw.

I'm saying if they didn't give it to him in such a close fight there if the fight is as close in Connecticut they surely won't.

When did Dawson became the WBC LHW champ? Did i missed something?

[Bhopreign]

time for the old guard to hang 'em up...dawson is the future of the lightheavys...took care of tarver, hopefully he gained enough experience to get at least a unanimous decision on johnson, then get rid of hopkins for good...

You were doing good until you mentioned Hopkins.

As usual......

As usual......

STFU racist Mo Fo.

I asked that because they said, WBC LHW champ wich he isnt!!!!!!!

[Iceta]

I have no idea what that means.

Anyway if they didn't give Glen a decision in Florida,they won't in Connecticut.

He must KO him.

The fact that Chad Dawson was the Gary Shaw house fighter with a pre-determined deal to fight Tarver overshadowed the factor of the first fight being held in the state where Johnson makes his home. You have to remember, this is the state of where a guy can get knocked out and then go on to get a draw after being dominated. The Augustus-Burton robbery sticks out in my mind too. If Showtime had compubox it would show that Dawson got outlanded big time in every punch category. Dawson is, and always has been an overrated fighter.

I don't think Dawson's overrated. He's a very talented fighter with a crackable chin and sub-par power. In all the skills categories he's an A fighter, but he doesn't have the intangibles that other fighters have. I don't think anyone views Dawson as the next coming of RJJ or anything, but he will be the top dog at LHW for years to come IMO.

Why does Chad Dawson always fights old guys? I know that the man has a weak chin...but geez

I hope Johnson knocks him out

Close fight the last time. Just like Pac vs JMM, Clottey vs Cotto, and Mosley vs Cotto.
Robberies are fights like Casa vs Santa Cruz, Whitaker vs Chavez, and Hoya vs Tito.

I totally agree. Whoever had Johnson winning the first fight, I have no problem with. But robbery is a bit much. I think Dawson leaves no doubt this time, and takes a tough, but pretty clear u.d. Should be a good one.
