Easily the best fight of Round 1 so far. Dodson came out really strong, was taking it to Favber, and clearly winning. Looked like this was not going to be Fabers time. Then Faber woke up in the 3rd, and fought back into the fight. The 4th was now pretty even with both guys doing some damage, but Faber took over near the end then finished up in the 5th.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
