Peter got destroyed, I wasn't expecting that, at least not that kind of a beat down. I didn't really expect Peter to win, but still.
I'm also picking Tarver though I see the fight going to the distance.

Dawson just spent the whole round defending... that was odd

Dawson's hand speed is just too much for Tarver right now.

Tarver can't even be respectful after the fight. Well, I know that I just watched Tarver slide off into obscurity, despite his version of the night.

He got out worked, the only time he really won a round was when Dawson let him. I don't think Tarver's comments were any worse than Hopkins after some of his fights.

Actually, this was about the classiest I've ever seen Tarver after a fight. He wasn't all dismissive and delusional like was after the Hopkins fight, and he gave Dawson props, which surprised me.
Anyway, Dawson is the future. I don't see anyone having much of a chance against him, with the exception of Kessler, and perhaps Pavlik if he just applies Margarito-esque pressure on Dawson the entire fight.

He will reign champ like Hopkins did. Like PBF said, he's one of the P4P best right now period.
I knew Tarver wouldn't do much of anything against Dawson. He's just too young and too fast and Tarver was never that good to begin with. He just caught RJJ in the downside of his career.

Hell yea, Harlem - Big up's. I never thought much of Tarver any fuckin' way. Thrilled Dawson won. What really impressed me was how he controlled Tarver. The round Tarver won had more to do with Dawson than it did Antonio. It was great to watch, Dawson's a solid television fighter, and I hope to see big things.
Samuel Peter, man! Quit on the stool. Did NOT expect him to go out like that.
