Chad Dawson won again via decision against Antonio Tarver except this time it was a lot closer. Tarver had previously won rematches against Glen Johnson, Roy Jones and Eric Harding. He couldn't do enough to win this one although he certainly brought a lot more to the table. Tarver was more active and threw more punches than Dawson but landed fewer. Dawson faded a bit in the later rounds but was ahead enough to pull out a clear win.
Dawson now has very few options as his name recognition is not enough yet to attract a Joe Calzaghe or Bernard Hopkins at light heavyweight. He may have to move weight classes and see if Carl Froch will consider fighting him or settle the score with Glen Johnson who he beat in a very controversial decision. Johnson is the most likely fight out there but beyond that there doesn't seem to be much going on at light heavyweight for Dawson. There has also been some discussion of a fight with Paul Williams at a catch weight which would be interesting given the size difference but at the moment nothing solid has been announced.
