Dawson-Johnson II- My Prediction
By Peter Wells: In another very interesting bout we see Glen Johnson (49-12-2) attempt to redeem himself against his latest conqueror ‘Bad’ Chad Dawson (28-0). Dawson came out on tops last time out via a very unconvincing decision. Dawson took plenty of huge booming right hands from Johnson but his quick combinations caught the judge’s eye although not all people agreed with the verdict. Dawson has since gone on to beat Antonio Tarver another 39 year old twice.

Dawson-Johnson: Will Glen Have Better Luck This Time?
By Jim Dower: For many people who saw the Glen Johnson vs. Chad Dawson fight last year in April, they felt that the 40-year-old Johnson had done enough to win the 12-round decision over Dawson.

By Chris Williams: Okay, Roy Jones Jr. (54-5, 40 KO’s) looked good last Saturday night in beating up a shot Jeff Lacy and stopping him in the 10th round, but let’s not get carried away here.
