Seems like its been the year of the old fighters pulling the upset, not that I really thought Casa beating Kats was a big upset but overall Kats was the favorite.
Can it happen here? Would this even be a big upset? Dawson's a very talented fighter but I wouldn't be shocked if Johnson ground him down.
Picks?
I want Johnson to win and if he paces himself he could do it...
I've only seen Dawson vs Adamek and even though Dawson looked pretty good Adamek looked crap that fight and when Adamek came in the last 2 rnds he floored Dawson...thats why I'm not that impressed with Dawson...
I really do think Dawson will be a bit too much for him at this momment in time. Could have been a bit difffernt a few years ago but I think Dawson will win a UD
Do not know nothing of Chad but he is in for a tough night. Hope Johnson pulls it off.
Rooting for Dawson all the way,I want him to clean out these oldies. Tarver,Johnson and then fight Diaconu.
I think Dawson should prevail, but Johnson easy no easy beat! UD for Dawson. I'd love to see him face the Tarver/ Woods winner and then the Calzaghe/ Hopkins winner for their championship!
My boy BCD will prevail.
No upset special here sorry folks....
The kid said it looong ago he'd be a champ and he accomplished it.
Hes been on the floor before but he's gotten up to win.
It's gonna take a lot from BCD to outbox someone like Glen but I think the kid will do it.
BCD by UD :cool:
Johnson by late KO, Glenn's gonna lose a few early rounds, but once that pressure starts piling on, it's all Johnson.
Chad is a guy I really like on the way up.
He got caught with a peach by Adamek, so I guess his chin can be questioned.
I dislike Johnson, but I fully appreciate he's coming to give twelve rounds of hell to Chad so I give him a shout. Chad has to box well and defend well to win this, but with Johnsons advanced age and Chad's ever-improving jab and move style I think he'll pull it off.
i haven't seen any of dawson yet but people have said he is talented. johnson i sa tough test for anyone so hopefully he puts on a good showing
I've only seen parts of the Adamek-Dawson fight, so don't really have a clue how this will go. It should be a good gauge though, if he comfortably beats Johnson then he certainly has a bright future.
How can anyone dislike Glen Johnson. He's great for the sport, fights anyone anywhere, never disrespects his opponents and fights his ass off every single round he's in there. Also one of the most humble world class fighters I've ever heard.Quote:

IMO it depends on what version of Johnson shows up....But a Johnson on his game would win....Will be a good fight.....I am not going to pick a winner because it will be close unless someone scores a KO early and I don't see it happeneing...Just saying it would not be an upset really
Yet not the nicest person I've ever met.Quote:
