6-2 Dawson. Tarver punching glove for the most part. Dawson seems to have improved a little defensively.
Tarver is just following Dawson around the ring and throwing weak and ineffective punches, tt seems he's looking for the 1-punch KO. Dawson controlled the round clearly and landed some really hard body punches and 5-punch combos. He's making Tarver back into the ropes at times and avoiding anything in return. Dawson 10-9
Credit both age and the body work of Chad Dawson, he invested in the body work early and it looks like it'll pay off.
