Does Dawson have the chin to last and take Tarver`s best Shots?

I believe it is. The thing with Tarver is that he is not a one punch knockout artist the way he and some people make him out to be. He is not a combination puncher either and he certainly won't be a against Dawson because he won't put himself at risk like that. Johnson was able to hurt Dawson because he put his punches together in combinations and was able to capitalize on Chad abandoning his game plan. Tarver is neither of those. he is not a pressure fighter nor is he a combination puncher. He is a tall rangy( somewhat one dimensional) boxer with good power in his left hand and good skills. He is not a knockout hitter and nothing indicates he is other than a washed up Jones.

I hope not, **** Dawson . I never liked him.

I'm Pretty sure Dawson is going to dominate this fight.

Tarver was blowing after 5 rounds against Woods and Woods had a truly awful night offering no offence and is generally a pretty ordinary fighter on a world level anyway.
