There's no question Glen Johnson gave Chad Dawson a hard time in their bout, and in some people's eyes he even won that fight. So let's find out where do ESB posters stand with this one Take your pick, who won the fight in your opinion?
If this was asked prior to Pavlik being destroyed, people would be more honest and admit Johnson won, but now Dawson is the darling of this forum, he will get biased votes.
A tremendous fight between two fighters that both deserve praise. I was at the fight live and watched it on replay several times. It was a packed house and pro-Johnson crowd that night in Tampa. It was hard not to get caught up in the old man Johnson leanings. He was the challenger and sentimental favorite against the young champion. Dawson won. I have no complaint with the decision.
Johnson, very close, but IMO he deserved it. Robbery? No, it was pretty close... but as you would've expected, it was the young star who got the decision. REMATCH!
I had Dawson clearly winning a close, tough fight. 2004 version of Johnson would have taken it though.
I see... only this forum likes Dawson, but the rest of the planet does not. If you knew better you'd not say that, as this forum is mainly anti-Dawson. But then again, you wouldn't know that would you? How about this: If you don't like this biased, Dawson-loving forum, go post somewhere else. :hi:
Dawson won more rounds thus he wins the fight but he lost the war because he took the most punishment in the fight
