Johnson beat Dawson so why is it...

i didnt see dawson landing that many clean EFFECTIVE shots i thought johnson did a good job taking them on his gloves...johnson didnt have a scratch on him

 

Johnson did some good defensive work in there. However, when other guy is throwing more punches and you're not able to get off, you're going to lose the round. Johnson wasn't blocking all of those punches, a good amount were landing. Watch the Dawson/Tarver fight. Tarver was blocking a lot of punches. However, he wasn't able to get off himself.

The whole "he didn't have a scratch on him" theory is serioulsy flawed. Tarver didn't have a scratch on him and Dawson had a mark above his eye. You're not going to argue that Tarver won are you? Andrade didn't have a scratch on him against Kessler and Kessler had a bloody nose. Are going to tell me Andrade won? Fights aren't scored on facial damage.

 

:rofl:good

 

no joke man...we've got some serious noobs on this thread...

we got one guy who thinks scoring is based on luck landing haymakers:huh atsch :think :nono

and another guy who thinks that Americans feel Dawson is the 2nd coming of christ :rofl

 

Robin Reid.

 

Joihnson is bigger than Joe. Dawson is much bigger than Joe.

 

I like Glen Johnson but he did not beat Dawson.

It's the old spillover effect. Guy has a couple good rounds and that makes people forget that it's a 12 round fight. Sort of like how people thought McCline beat Samuel Peter when Samuel clearly won 9 or 10 rounds aside from the knockdown rounds.
