as I was watching the fight I knew right away Chad was going to have big problems. There were two huge right hands thrown by Stevenson that just barely grazed Dawson head. Dawson had no reaction or reflexes to those punches at all. This was not a lucky punch. Chad was being timed.
You can't really look to much into the fight since it was the first round. You are nearly always tense and stiff in the first round no matter who you are.
