I think I know what Roy was trying to do in the third Tarver fight but it didn't work. He was trying to frusterate Tarver buy showboating hoping Tarver would crack and give up. Or freeze in the moment and get knocked out.

watch Leonard showboat here against Duran as he circles the ring just like Roy did.
I think once this plan failed, Roy knew to win he'd have to fight Tarver like Glen Johnson did. And Roy knew if he did that he might get Koed again, so he just looked to counter from the outside. I have to give Tarver credit for staying composed.
