    But I've just read on the BBC that it was more competitive than the first. Still, I kinda don't think I give a ****.

    Poor old Bad Chad, stuck in a division where the only people he can fight are the elderly or the mediocre.
    almost the same fight as the first one minus the knockdown

      It was a boring in a way. Tarver did better this time, but the majority of his punches have no more steam on them, that right uppercut had Dawson hurt for a little while though. The best part of the fight was probably Tarver's wife.

          There was a KD in the first one? I'd forgotten that.

                I thought Chad looked worse. I figure it's only natural for a guy to struggle more in a rematch against an opponent he already beat decisevely. Either way I wouldn't waste my time watching it or judging Chad by his performance.

                  Not really.

                  i watched it earlier and it was pretty much the same as the first fight although it was a bit more entertaining imo.

                  Dawson looked better in the first fight and Tarver looked better in the second fight.

                    If I had to attach a word to the fight, it was just average.

                    Not a horrible fight to watch, but I wouldnt go out of my way to find it.
