They touch gloves, Buffer announces the round.
They trade jabs. Crowd is on their feet.
Jones bows Tarver over the top rope with a combination. Jones looks a little bleary, but has energy.
Tarver is on the defensive, since Jones senses he needs this round for the decision. They eye each other carefully. Tarver goes to the Jones' body on the ropes. Backs Jones into his corner. They clench.
They walk over Tarver's corner and trade blows. Both are attacking. Thirty seconds. Crowd roar increases to a crescendo. Fourteen seconds left, they trade body blows. Standing ovation now, huge airplane-level roar. Round ends with Tarver raising his hands and jumping on corner ropes, facing the crowd. Jones lamely raises his right glove to shoulder height and makes and small pump.
