Dawson Makes Johnson Look His Age
With Near Shutout Unanimous Decision
Chad Dawson (now 29-0-0-1, 17 KO's) won a much
easier fight with Glen Johnson than their first encounter, with
a unanimous decision. Although two judges had it much too close
(one round from being a draw), the reality was Johnson won about
2 rounds at most.
From the opening round, Dawson used his height, reach, and
movement to land and move. That's how the majority of the fight
went. Johnson's pressure wasn't the same as any of his previous
fights, but one is to question whether his age has finally
caught up with him, or was it Dawson's technique that caused the
confusion.
Johnson's best rounds were in round 6 and 12 when Dawson seemed
to simply take the rounds off. Dawson was just too busy while
Johnson was a "one and done" puncher who didn't have much on his
punches tonight.
Final scores were 115-113, 115-113 and 117-111.
Johnson falls to 49-13-2 with 33 KO's.
