Dawson: “I can’t wait to get in the ring and shut him [Johnson] up”
By Jason Kim: This Saturday night former International Boxing Federation light heavyweight champion Chad Dawson (28-0, 17 KO’s) will be facing 40-year-old Glen Johnson (49-12-2, 33 KO’s) in a fight for the interim World Boxing Council (WBC) light heavyweight title at the XL Center, in Hartford, Connecticut.
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 interested in replacing Taylor in Super Six tourney – News
By Jim Dower: Unbeaten former IBF/WBC light heavyweight champion Chad Dawson (28-0, 17 KO’s) is interested in possibly replacing Jermain Taylor in the Super Six tournament if Taylor decides to back out, according to boxing news from the The Sweet Science. This would be a sensational replacement if Taylor does decide to pull out of the tourney, because Dawson is considered to be one of the best fighters in the sport and would immediately have an effect on the tournament.
Dawson vs Johnson: Will the Outcome Be Any Different this time?
By Chris Williams: Supposedly, boxing fans wanted to see former IBF light heavyweight champion Chad Dawson (28-0, 17 KOs) fight a rematch with 40-year-old Glen Johnson (49-12-2, 33 KOs) next month, but I’m not one of them. I don’t see the point of it. By the time that Dawson, 27, faces Johnson next month on November 7th, at the XL Center, in Hartford, Connecticut, Johnson will be almost 41-years-old.
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. It was a fight in which both Dawson and Johnson went toe-to-toe through much of the fight with Dawson landing the faster shots and nice combinations, but Johnson taking advantage of Dawson’s frequent lulls in activity by outworking Dawson during these dry spells.
Why Isn’t Roy Jones Jr. Trying to Fight Tarver or Johnson?
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. This was Lacy, who hasn’t been the same fighter he was back before losing to Joe Calzaghe and suffering a shoulder injury in his fight against Vitali Tsypko.
Dawson vs. Johnson for WBC light Heavyweight title on Nov 7th; Klitschko Brothers Not Likely to Fight Haye
By Jim Dower: Former International Boxing Federation light heavyweight champion Chad Dawson (28-0, 17 KO’s) will be fighting a rematch against 40-year-old Glen Johnson (49-12-2, 33 KO’s) on November 7th for the interim WBC light heavyweight title at the XL Center, in Hartford, Connecticut. That fact that the WBC belt is on the line is somewhat of a joke, because there’s already a WBC light heavyweight champion and that’s Jean Pascal and this is just another sanctioning body trying to take advantage of a big fight by putting a title on the line when it really doesn’t matter.
Dawson v Johnson II: A Defining Moment For the Victor
By Mike Burnell: December 4th 2008 generated more questions about “Bad” Chad Dawson and the future of the Light Heavyweight division than it answered. In a dramatic back and forth battle Dawson emerged as the winner via unanimous 12 round decision versus grizzled veteran Glen “The Road Warrior” Johnson. The scores of 116-112 weren’t representative of the battle witnessed within the squared circle. While the judge’s decisions were unanimous the fight fans are anything but.
Hopkins Wants the Winner of Dawson vs. Johnson – Boxing
By Matt Stein: Former middleweight champion Bernard Hopkins (49-5-1, 32 KO’s) dropped a bombshell last night when he suddenly announced on Friday Night Fights that he’s interested in fighting the winner of the November fight between Chad Dawson (28-0, 17 KO’s) and Glen Johnson (49-12-2, 33 KO’s) next. This is a shocking revelation for the 44-year-old Hopkins, because he’s been hesitant to fight Dawson previously, saying that he didn’t want to hurt the sport of boxing by destroying anymore of it’s future stars.
