    So Dawson will now face a man completely undeserving of a rematch in Antonio 'Tragic man' Tarver....

    ...meanwhile the man who the entire world thinks beat him, Glen Johnson, now fights on a non-televised bum fights card.

    This is why our sport sucks ass holes.

    And Mijares vs Darchinynan, Cotto vs Margarito, Vasquez vs Marquez 3, is why our sport rocks the house.

    I feel your pain though bro. I didn't think Johnson won, but he came awfully close.

    I have seen worse examples of boxing politics.

    Tarver had a rematch claurse in his contract so no matter how bad he looked in the first fight he does have a right to a rematch if he so chooses.

    As for the whole world thinking Johnson beat Dawson, well thats going a bit far. It was a very close fight that cold have gone either way. I think i actually had Dawson winning it by a point.

    I dont think Johnson won, but he is definately more deserving of a shot than Antonio Tarver...
