I missed the announcement earlier this week, and I just read it on ESPN. I've been wanting to see this fight for a while and I glad it's going to actually happen. I'm a pretty big Chad Dawson fan, but I'm also one of the few people who likes Antonio Tarver. Tarver looked very good against Woods and he's got much less milage on him than most 39 year old fighters.
Dawson will have the handspeed advantage and throws great combos, but he he is hittable. Tarver is great counter puncher and he was able to deal with Roy Jones superior handspeed. I hate to say it, because I'd like to see a changing of the guard at LHW, but Dawson is might be taylor-made for Tarver if shows up as prepared as he was against Clinton Woods.
