Round by Round Tarver v Dawson

[Manc-Red]

I'm probably way off the mark but Dawson has this I feel

[Asterix]

Lederman gave Dawson the 10th.

[Manc-Red]

What a close 11th!! Dawson 4 me

[confirmation]

I think Dawson is in danger of losing this fight. Needs the last round to be sure.

He's not all that.

[Manc-Red]

Tarver needs this last round

[Asterix]

Close round, but I gave Dawson the 11th as he landed the harder punches. Tarver was just tapping out his jab.

107-102 to Dawson

[Manc-Red]

Dawson fuckin wins - by a long way, what ye's think lads

[Asterix]

Tarver took the 12th. Dawson just wanted to hug. Tarver actually threw some punches.

116-112 for Dawson, imo.

[confirmation]

i hope dawson won, I have a lot of money riding on this decision...

All for Dawson.

[confirmation]

dawson wins, but doesn't impress in doing so. I think bernard could do him.

[Dioufy]

At least it was closer than the first, thankfully.

[Asterix]

A big puncher with stamina is going to be Dawson's worst nightmare at the moment.

[confirmation]

agreed. he looks vulnerable. dare I say that carl froch could have a chance against Dawson if they were to fight.... Dawson has been talking about coming down to 168...

[confirmation]

glad he won anyway. better for boxing that he did.

Also, Tarvers missus... jesus, i know what my next wanking material is going to be...

[Asterix]

Dawson is quite similar to Taylor.

[Manc-Red]

I have a funny feeling that carl froch would do some damage at that weight.

[Autobarn]

Dawson may not have been at his best. I mean, he was made to have this pointless rematch in which only Tarver had something to gain.

The guy has beaten Harding, Adamek, Johnson, and Tarver twice and that's a nice resume. I think he needs to be in a really good fight and impress ppl that way.

I just think he needs a "Lacy" as Calzaghe was fortunate to have, much later in his career. Luckily his mandatory appears to be the powerful and exciting Tavoris Cloud. Chad will not get popular fighting old guys - Johnson hurt him, Tarver was desperate and took it to him in 2 fights - and should look for the exciting fights.

Dawson will have done zero for his marketability as that was his HBO debut.

[Bomber 1]

I feel a good match with Cloud will boost Dawson's marketability!!

I too think that a big punching fighter with stamina is the man to beat Dawson..
