    Loser I cannot believe the way he acted in the post fight interview saying he was blocking all those shots. Man he looked like a old man in there with those stupid punches he was throwning. what a turd. I thought looked really good I was doubtful of him for a bit but he has some great combos.

    I love it when guys run there mouth like that and look like idiots during the fight.

    lol so that look of concern on his face the whole night was cause he was blocking shots? Look at the replays man Tarver was throwing old man punches it was pathetic. I do not mind Tarver but all the talk he did and his only answer was to throw really slow punches with no power come on?

    Tarver is slow, old and washed up. He should retire. I give Tarver credit, he use to be a very good fighter, that is obviously no longer true.

    I could tell that in his fight against Muriqi. If you can barely beat a guy like Muriqi, you are done as top level prize fighter.

    Good to see some logic on here. So if Tarver was blocking all those shots then WTF was he landing? Tarver looked old and concerned the whole night.

    Speed Kills :hi:

    Tarver did block alot of the shots, but so did Chad. Tarver looks really slow, and his punches were pathetic. He should definitely retire.

    He never said anything bad or wrong, he just said that most of thos blows were blocked but not ALL of them. He admitted Dawson outworked him and was the busier man even if he blocked most of the shots he still didn't land more and that's what he said. Nothing disrespectful there.

    He did block most of those shots. Tarver never looked hurt in the entire fight, albeit he was quite befuddled by the hand speed but never in any trouble.

    The way tarver threw his punches was depressing. But he did block the vast majority of Dawson's shots. Chad's jab and work rate (when he wasn't taking a round off) and his flashy combos won him the fight. But it's more like Tarver lost by not fighting.

    Tarver was gracious in defeat. He congratulated Dawson and said he won the fight.

    agree there. tarver was not in the game as early as the 5th round, and dawson was taking too much round off. If tarver was in better condition, he would have won.

    yes, it's more likely that tarver lost by not fighting

    I could not believe some of the body shots Tarver was uncorking. They were so akward and stupid I was embarrased for him just watching them.
