I had it 115-113 dawson in the 3rd best fight this year. I wouldnt say dawson was overhyped at all. Not to many people would of beat glen johnson that night. He would of beat tarver, woods, jones, and probabley hopkins on that night. He looked very determined but i felt dawson did enough early to win, but that was a great test for him. Dawson beats tarver.
Dawson won by a couple of points, but boy was Johnson TO'ed. I thought we were going to see another cagey veteran hand it to the young prospect again for a while. One of those fights that The old guy looked better than the young guy even with the loss.
Very very true. The Johnson of 4 years ago would have stopped Dawson tonight, he's just lost that little bit stamina and speed. He seemed to tire from around the 5th untill he got a second wind in the 9th or 10th and then he started puting a beating on Dawson again.
The Johnson of 4 years ago didn't tire like that, Chad is a very lucky man tonight. I think he's way over hyped.

I only watched up to round 10 and wasn't scoring it on paper. Although I distinctly remember Jhonson winning a close fight. Who took the last two rounds?
Johnson clearly won the last 3 rounds, he had Dawson hurt again at this point too.

I had Glen by one point.
I WAS very big on Chad But not anymore
He actually turned his back and walked away from Glen a few times and I have lost respected for him for it.

He does that all the time. He walks away, trying to set up a big left hand. That's why you see him punch out of it all the time. I scored it 115-113 Dawson.

Floyd Sr said that about Dawson?
Up until the 10th, since I had Jhonson winning most of the rounds, I'd say he won the fight then. It seems like a bad descision but I guess Im going to have to score it again because you all say it was pretty close.

I didn't see it. This is the first I've heard that he lost. What a shame...he looked great last time out.
Ola Afolabi (12-1) came off a two and a half year layoff to stop Cruiserweight prospect Eric Fields (11-1) in the tenth and final round Saturday night at the Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, WA. Afolabi played rope-a-dope through the early rounds, then used an effective uppercut to drop the tired Fields twice in round eight. Afolabi was able to finish the job in the tenth with an overhand right that put Fields down. Fields beat the count, but an unanswered barrage of blows forced referee Bob Howard to stop the bout at 0:55. With the win, Afolabi picked up the vacant NABO Cruiserweight belt. In undercard action, Light Heavyweight Robert Brue moved to 4-0 with a 6 round unanimous decision over Matthew Halverson, 3-4. The tactical bout had Halverson controlling distance with a jab, and Brue picking spots to come in with power shots. Judges preferred the harder shots, and awarded Brue the bout with scores of 58-56 and 59-55 twice.
