    I agree about Fraud being a *****, IMO she'd a coward as well.

    How the hell do you call someone out (Winky) only to shamelessly duck him? :nut Thats cowardice in my book.

    Oh he handles all the calls he chooses to answer with the best of 'em. Just like Fraud - he picks and chooses the path of least resistance.

    When my friend told me about this clown I got pissed and said "he's a fukcin coward, if he doesnt want to handle all the calls then he should get another job, ask for a desk job or something". Same with Fraud - if he dont want to face all the best like Shane, Cotto, Winky and Margarito then he should stick with wrastin' or rappin :lol: cause he's showing clear cowardice.

    Ok....perhaps I am missing something here. Going into round 10, I have Dawson having won 6 rounds to 3.

    Style being penalized here? By that I mean, are some counting against Dawson for moving around the ring?

    You're a sad one Ramshall, very sad. Furthermore, your example is terrible. That cop's job is to handle distress in his area. Floyd's job is not to take on ****in middleweights when he's fighting at 140. Boxing is a business as well as a sport, being a cop is not a business, it's a duty.

    No...that's fair enough; you gave the close rounds to Dawson - no problem there; 10, 11 and 12 are Johnson rounds. That makes it a draw.

    :lol:

    Keep squirming son.

    They both get paid to do a job, part of their job is to take on all calls in their area - both refuse the hardest parts of their job. . . both are cowards.

    Taking on middleweights. . . since when is Margarito, Cotto and Shane MWs???

    If your referring to Winky, you should know that Fraud says he's the best ever from 154 on down and thus called Winky out at 154 - when Winky said he would make the weight . .. Fraud shamelessly ducked him. The coward shoulda never called Winky out in the first place then. :deal

    I don't think these rounds are as close as the Pacquiao-JMM rounds. Dawson is outlanding him.

    In the 10th, which I just watched, Dawson was winning that round until he got caught by a nice right. This was not a huge shot, but hurt Dawson badly. However, I am again confused by those who are saying that Dawson is a coward or has a glass chin. He didn't go down and started throwing back showing a great deal of heart IMO.

    So 6-4 to Dawson so far.

    Winky was fighting at MW when this fight was proposed and Floyd was at 140. We've already been through this. However, you enjoy contructing your own reality. As far as Shane goes, he had plenty of opportunities to fight Floyd and wasn't interested. And did you hear HBO mentioning how Shane turned down an offer to fight Margo again during Saturday's fight? What about Margo making an offer to fight Winky when Winky was at MW only to turn the other direction when Winky made a counter offer?

    Of course he doesn't have a glass chin. But he has a less than very good chin. Given his defence and fighting style (toe to toe) at the wrong times, if he goes against a big puncher, he could well be not just dropped, but stopped. He definitely has heart, but he goes toe-to-toe when he should be boxing and getting on his bike when he should be coming in to fight/box...either showing heart when he should show brains, or pissing off the crowd when he should be showing heart.

    Wrong again my coward lovin friend.

    What part of "Fraud called out Winky first at 154" - is so hard to comprehend? Winky never said "Ill only fight you at 160" - He said he accepted the challenge and would make 154 for the fight. Fraud proceeded to shamelessly duck the man he called out. Just sad.

    Shane was clearly deferring to the Fraud-DLH match and said all along he would fight Fraud after that fight. Then Fraud saw Hatton struggle with COllazo and saw Shane shut out Collazo - then said "Hatton is my path of least resistance"

    AM never claimed to be the best ever from 154 down, he simply wants to fight the best at 147.

    OK....

    So I think rounds 11 and 12 were close. Much closer than I was led to believe. I gave Johnson round 11, which he was winning easily early and then Dawson gave him some good combos.

    I gave Dawson round 12, which he was winning early as well with those combos, then he got caught. But he wasn't out on his feet like others said. He still fought back until the 10 sec mark and then just coasted.

    So I had it 7-5 Dawson. I don't mind a draw. I don't see Johnson winning.

    From what I had read, I went in expecting a horrible performance from Dawson or a great performance from Johnson. I saw neither, though I saw good performances for both with the ebb and flow of styles clashing presenting the final outcome. This is just my opinion.

    Dawson needs to work on his footwork inside. I don't think his defense is as bad as some say. The shot he got caught with was on the inside between the gloves. It was one of those hook/uppercuts and they are hard to block. Better head movement perhaps. But I think he was tired and Johnson has done that to most fighters he's faced. Johnson did what he always does, and I think Dawson is getting a bit of unfair criticism because people were tired of hearing about him. It's relative criticism, as in relative to expectations.

    Just my .02.

    I'd like to thank Decebal for getting me the fight. I don't have Showtime.

    This is exactly how I saw the fight. I scored it 7-5 for Dawson, I also gave him the 12th. I thought he fought pretty well, but had a few rough areas that he needs to improve upon.
