Whatman with a pair of takedowns sets the tone. A few strikes at the end of the first round by Dawson do little with no energy behind it. More takedowns by Whatman in the second, and Dawson retaliates with more strikes. Whatman sticking to takedowns in the third, doing a great job of exhausting his opponent. Whatman turns to striking in the fourth after a pair of unsuccessful takedowns. Both fighters swinging (and mostly missing) to the finish.
lol That's why I was laughing...
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
