Dawson-Johnson II is signed! | Fightnews - Boxing News Updated 24/7

Its for Dawson's IBO Title. I see Dawson winning another decision that'll be a little more convincing this time. Props to him for taking this fight, because the risk isn't worth the reward.

Props to Bad Chad now what can the haters say? He's 6 foot 3 and to big for suppermiddle were all the names are and is in a dead divison with no sexy names there. He might be able to get a 168 in a catchweight fight but i can't see it with them having so many good names to go after. Dunno what he's gonna do after Johnson. I guess see how Tavaris Cloud does against Clinton Woods.

[HattonTheHammer]

Chads an up coming fighter and he wouldnt of fought a single new opponent come the end of 2009

excuse me for being slightly dissapointed at dawsons choice of opponents!!

[Motor City Cobra]

Hatton the Hammer who else could he have fought? Hopkins has no interest and Adriano Diacuno hasent got abig enough name. Winner of him vs Pascal would deserve a shot though.

To be honest there isnt a hell of a lot out there at 175

hopkins wont fight at the weight again, tarvers been seen off twice already and in the case of johnson its a 40 something year old tough cookie thats already been cracked.

Id of liked to of seen a 168er like kessler or froch moving up, perhaps even at a catchweight.

Kessler.....what the hell is going on with that guy these days? I think Kessler would give him fits.

What else could he do? Tarver had a rematch clause and HBO spent the whole Tarver rematch talking about how the only fight out there for him was a Glen Johnson rematch. Basically, he didn't have much of an option. Most of the fans have called for this. People are waaaaaaaaaay too harsh on Dawson IMO.

Yea I guess this is alright. Chad Dawson is pretty much king of the Light Heavyweight Division for awhile I don't see anybody beating him. Unless some of the Super Middleweight's start moving to Light Heavyweight then Dawson might get challenged, but for the most part I think Dawson might dominate this division much like Calzaghe dominated the Super Middleweight division for years and years.

IMO Hopkins would beat him

I agree the Tarver fight was unneccessary. But this one is justified, alot of people think Johnson(myself included) pulled off a draw or narrow win. When its that close you gotta rematch until its clear. Dawson is a stand-up type of guy, and I'm sure he wants to prove to everyone he can definitavely beat Johnson.

[Gandalf]

It's a fair fight IMO. First fight was close and a rematch is justifiable. Dawson isn't all that good, but he is top of a weak division. There aren't a whole heap of names he could be fighting unless he can get some of the SMW's to move up.

I thought Johnson won the first fight and it was a good fight so I am glad he has given him a return. Dawson is more experienced and Johnson is older so think Dawson should beat him.
