    Dawson won the fight but if he's the "future of boxing" then I give up. Calzaghe would beat him and Kesslers style is a nightmare for him.

    Kessler KO6 Dawson.

    If Dawson had a granite chin I don't see how anyone could possibly beat him at LHW. He is a fine talent for sure and still might be the best LHW in the world. Even though I think Calzaghe and Hopkins might be able to get to him.

    Kessler is so robotic it is not funny. He is starting to get overrated big time. Dawson boxes his ears off.

    The sentiment always go with the underdog Johnson is too classic to be a boxer even after defeat he showed his class but inside the ring he gave everything he put Dawson on ***** street few times finishing strong the last few rounds he did not get the nod was based on his age and no future in the division the only thing wrong he did was goofing on the HBO statement.We have seen lot's of controversial decision lately.

    "Overrated"....pot...kettle....black. ;)

    In addition to not coping with pressure well Dawson also can't seem to keep his hands up near his chin and he's not good enough to get away with stuff like that.

    Easy nights work for Kessler.

    Exposed u say?!:huh Exposed??!:blood
    He just chose the wrong tactic by playing Johnson's game. The moments he didn't he had no problems and outboxed him.

    Stupid of course. And he should be lucky he didn't lose (could've happened).

    Being exposed has nothing to do with it.

    If this trend keeps up, posters will start claiming that a guy is exposed after the weigh in.

    Too many posters go overboard in their reactions to a fight. I'm not sure if it's a new trend in boxing or if it's just more noticable in the modern era because of the internet.

    And Johnson was even classy after making the "HBO" mistake. He immediately corrected himself and apologized. I know he was disappointed with that decision and saying "sorry" for a slip of the tongue is not something many in his position would take the time to do. He's a class guy who deserves respect for his accomplishments in the ring and his conduct outside of it. Props to the Road Warrior.

    We will see, I hope this fight is made. Dawson is too quick with his feet, and hands for Kessler.

    If Dawsons one of the best young talents in the game then boxing is doomed. Calzaghe would use his head like a speedbag.

    Lets face it he lost last night to a 39 year old Glen Johnson.

    I'd have Tarver, Jones, Hopkins, Calzaghe, Kessler, Pavlik, Taylor.....in fact nearly anyone half decent beating him as Johnson did last night.

    90% of the fighters today would KILL themselves to have the career Terry Norris had.

    Your man Calzaghe went life and death with 168lbs Sakio Bika! Johnson would of tore Joes ass UP!
