ESPN Classic is Showing Chad Dawson vs Glen Johnson

Personally, I thought Johnson swept the last four rounds. He picked off most of Dawson's punches and landed the cleaner, head-snapping punches, and appeared to rattle Dawson a few times.

 

I can't agree with that. There were way too many close rounds down the stretch. I believe a draw is fair, but if anyone deserved to get the nod, it was Dawson. Between the 3 judges, 3 press row scorers and one of the announcers, not one person scored the fight for Johnson. 5 scored it for Dawson and 2 scored it a draw. I think Dawson won six rounds definitively. Johnson won 2 rounds definitively. The rest of the rounds were close and could've gone either way depending on what you were looking for.

 

Round 10 and possibly round 12 were the only times where Johnson hurt Dawson. Dawson was getting off a lot of good combos, and did some good body work. I think it was round 11 were Johnson snapped Dawson's head back and Dawson responed with a 2 or 3 punch combo. Different people will score that exchange differently. I don't think there's anyway you can say Johnson definitivel won rounds 9,11 or 12.

 

I enjoyed the fight but I was upset I couldn't score the fight because they skipped from Round 2 to Round 6, this was the first tim I saw the fight.
