Does Dawson need a KO on Sat to boost his career?

I think it would be silly for him to even try for the knockout. Johnson had him hurt a bit in the first, and pretty much Glenn's only chance at this point is stopping Dawson. Nah, just try to win in a much more dominating fashion than the first time around, where quite a few people (myself included) had Glenn edging it out.

Oh and tough to build/hype your career with 4 consecutive opponents of ages totaling over 160.

Here's the funny thing. Johnson and Tarver have made up Dawson's last three fights. Johnson in over 60 fightswas KOed once against Hopkins years ago at middleweight. Tarver has never been KOed in his career, and has only been down a few times to my knowledge, one of those being against Chad Dawson.

Anyone wonder why there's no buzz on Chad Dawson? Because he's fought two guys that you pretty much have to decision to beat.

Would a Dawson KO boost his career? Yeah, but Dawson's going to have to do this thing the hard way, regardless.

I don't see Dawson winning by KO anytime soon no matter who the opponent is. And his next fight will be against a cupcake, not Hopkins, not Cloud, a cupcake.

That's a little too much to ask of Chad. I can't say I want him to win because I'm rooting for Johnson. But I'll be pissed if Dawson wins the fight without deserving it. If Chad is gonna beat Johnson, I want him to do it convincingly with no question marks. I'm tired of shady decisions across the board in boxing.
