yeah but tarver looked old in this fight, he got tired and his punches had no pop behind them. in the Jones fight he was able to pressure Jones and push him onto the ropes, he couldnt do that to Dawson because Dawson kept moving, so the weak-minded Tarver just stod there with his arms up, absorbing combo after combo.
i just think he was overwhelmed by a younger faster dawson.
bad chad DOESNT have power..if anything he will be like holy...who will break you down with combination punching
but dawson had more damage on his face and tarver didnt have a scratch nor was he in any real trouble
tarver didn't look that different to me then he did vs roy.he tried to counter punch his opponent.problem was, he tried to do this against a slightly taller and faster opponent.

Dawson hasnt impressed me..yet. Tarver stood there and let Dawson look good. we still have to see him up against someone faster than him.

Marcus Rhode and Emmanuel Augustus are two of my favorite fighters.
Because they lose, like me, and 99% of the people in the world.
I root for the common man because I can identify with them.
i wouldn't know anything about that.
I'm god.
seriously.
:D
Yeah all of my favorites have lost. I have rarely liked an up and coming guy because they usually haven't fought anyone yet.
I seem to like guys that lose early in their careers, and then come back to win or fight a lot of hard fights so they are bound to lose.
I appreciate Dawson's skills for sure.
i bet you love rocky:D
Even though I'm a Bad Chad fan, I thought he would go down at least once as well. From decent shots that did land, it appeared Chad felt it pretty good and backed away. I'm still not sold on his chin. I think anyone faster than Tarver with good power has a good chance at knocking him down. I did enjoy his speed and combinations.
Is Tarvers ability to take blows that good, or is Dawson just not that powerful?
Looked like Chad saw he was easily winnin on points and was content to ride the wave. maybe he coulda did more damage if he felt like it, but he didn't need to try and force a KO. Kinda like the Hopkins-Tarver fight. Not a fight where he had to stop Tarver or receive no props for the win, so I won't criticize him. Dude owned Tarver bell to bell, start to finish.
Still not a full blown Dawson fan, but he got my respect by winnin handily when I thought he'd get dropped 4 sho.

Although Tarver has slowed down, Dawson fought very well tonight so I give him credit for winning the IBF title.
We need UNIFICATION fights now at 175 - or, he should give Johnson a rematch because their fight was very close.
I agree he should fight johnson again!!! But i am very impressed by Dawson!!!
I generally don't like fighters until they lose.
Dawson did a fine job today but I can't be a fan until he loses a fight.
well, that's the opposite for most "fans"....:D
Gotta hand it to Chad, he looked great tonight. I love his style, it's how I myself would fight. Tarver's past it though, so this win doesn't prove as much as it should. On top of that, Glenn Johnson definitely won against Dawson, no question.
Chad got my respect again though. Nice win.

Thought Dawson would win against a past it Tarver but let's not forget he was troubled big time against Johnson. Let's not claim him to be the "most feared" or any other bullshit moniker fan boys like to throw at their fave fighters. Diaconu has a good chance and Calzaghe would have nothing to fear.
Diaconu will KO Dawson
LMAOOO what the hell are you smoking? DiaconWHO? hahaha. That little midget will get whipped easily. Diaconu is even ducking GLen Johnson and thats a FACT.
