Boxinginlasvegas was just informed by IBF/IBO champion Chad Dawson’s trainer, Eddie Mustafa Muhammad that Chad has sustained a hairline fracture in his right hand and that the March 14th rematch between him and former champ Antonio Tarver has been postponed. Further details will be posted as they become available.
Thank God.
Exactly. It was a stupid fight anyway.Quote:

Sniff....sniff.........Dawson vs. Hopkins coming our way ??? ;D
Dawson vs Hopkins is something we all want to see but i doubt hopkins will go threw with it. They should fight for the Ring belt. Anyways im glad this fight is off. The only joy i would get outta this fight is seeing Tarver get his ass beat.
That's unfortunate. I was actually looking forward to seeing this too. Tarver must be about 40, surely he should just look for a step in and go out on a win. I don't think Tarver has the output to win the rounds against Dawson, not now anyways. Maybe a blessing for him.
miles dude a couple of your posts have been slightly retarded as of late,this one included, Tarver/Dawson I was boring and Dawson dominated, no need for a rematch, gotta lay off the crack dude lolQuote:

LOL Tarvers wife is hot.
And eagle I would like to see Dawson vs Kessler too but Kessler has to atleast clean out his division and Dawson already beat Glen and Tarver and if he fight Bhop he would already done way more than Kessler has done.
Kessler almost cleared out the 168 division before Calzaghe....Quote:

Postponed and cancel are 2 different things. Sadly this fight still happens at a later date
Bad news for Tarver. His age has showed in his recent performances imo, and now thats its postponed I wouldnt be surprised to see Chad stop him this time around.
Yeah, I know it sounded a strange thing to say. And I've never particularly liked Tarver. I agree, odd post all in all.Quote:

No, not Thank God. Because the fight is only postponed, not canceled. Dawson still owes Tarver the fight per the rematch clause. That means rather than getting it over with, it will have to be rescheduled and we will have to endure Dawson wasting his time later rather than sooner.Quote:

Hopkins wants nothing to do with Dawson. Adrian Diaconu is fighting Silvio Branco and assuming he wins and Glen Johnson beats Judah, Glen Johnson will fight Adrian Diaconu. Leaving Zsolt Erdei, Clinton Woods, and Hugo Garay as possibilities.
It wouldn't be a smart move for Kessler to step up to Dawson at the moment, if he is the real deal, which with his recent choice in opponents is beginning to not look like the case, he should clean out his division. The problem for Kessler is that the most exciting fighters are already spoken for: Froch is fighting Taylor and Bute is fighting Zuniga. Leaving Sakio Bika and Karoly Balzsay and Allan Green. I would argue that he should take a tune-up and fight the Taylor/Froch winner, but he already recently fought two tune-ups. He could fight Allan Green on Showtime if Bika or Balzsay aren't available...
Tarver should have a rematch with Woods, would earn some cash and keep 'em both busy, and the winner can have Dawson. Won't happen but worth a try. :-\
You know what I have to give Tarver credit for being 1 of the best salesmen in boxing. There are alot of rematches in boxing that need to be made or should have been made but never happened. But for some strange reason this rematch almost and or still might happen but an injury postponed it for now. And I can't believe HBO actually was going through with it. The 1st fight was to me the changing of the guard because Dawson boxed circles around Tarver. If any rematch should be made then it should be Dawson vs Glen Johnson. Hell if there was 1 person that deserves rematches then it is the Road Warrior himself. Johnson vs Tarver III, Johnson vs Jones II, Johnson vs Hopkins II even Johnson vs Woods IV was more deserving . Glen gets shafted or more like avoided then any fighter out there right now. He said it right, I'm not the best but I'm just the guy that will fight the best. Well Glen it is to bad that the best is afraid to fight you.

Good, hopefully they don't reschedule it. I think the same exact thing will happen in a rematch, Tarver's endurance is shot.
I'll bet money this un warrented groundhog day does not come off.Amazing what a contract clause can be swayed with ;D
Bad promotion and/ or negotiations for Dawson all around Imo.What exactly can he improve on with a second Tarver fight aside from blitzing Tarver out in short order??He has massive momentum and I believe this is a step sideways for Chad overall.Tarver is past checking out
Yeah, Tarver will lose again or get beat worse that last time. No point at all in a rematch.Quote:

Woods would be capable of going 12 rounds with Dawson.When Woods is really up for a fight he can be dangerous.I would'nt say Woods would win but he would go the distance for sure.Woods has a really good chin!
I was interested to see if Tarver just had a shiit night, he was there to be hit but Dawson couldnt really dent him, if Tarver wanted the rematch he obviously thinks he can do better or win as hed finnish his career with another loss.
For all Tarvers faults during that fight he still made Dawson cover up on the ropes more than Dawson should have been, a fully prepared Tarver may be able to string a few hard clean shots together and have Dawson reeling:confused:
The same Woods that got outworked by Tarver?Quote:
