I gave it to Dawson by 2 rounds

I gave it johnson by 1 round.

Dawson was rocked and hurt on numerous occassions, johson tested dawson's chin with some good shots yet was never hurt once in the whole fight by dawson.

Overall, i dont care what the judges gave it as, i feel sorry for johnson because he did far more damage than dawson did, the faces showed the story at the end.

Anyway, i was expecting to see dawson live up to the hype hes been recieving from many boxing fans, unfortunately he has failed to impress at all. He has slick skills yet is a negative fighter with relatively weak punching power and doesnt have a good chin.

Another jeff lacy in the making in my honest opinion! Hes being bigged up by certain people, believes the hype, then when he fights a truly class act he will get put on the floor.

Will have to see how calzaghe gets on against hopkins, but i think calzaghe, hopkins and tarver would comfortably beat dawson.

I gave Johnson the second and dawson the 11th, also rounds 4 and 8 were very close. My scorecard:
D J
10 9
9 10
9 10
10 10 this could go Dawson
9 10
10 9
10 9
10 10 this one too
10 9

10 9 this could go Johnson

My card adds up to a 115 draw but I can see how the Showtime fighter got all the close rounds...(cough) bullshit (cough)

surprised they gave any of the last three to Dawson.
