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.
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!!
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.

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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 himQuote:

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.Quote:

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.
