    Rozzy,
    Been a BCD fan since his early in his career. I think it was from his 13th pro fight and on. I met BCD at JLC-Corrales I, while I went to buy a drink the kid was there taking pics. and giving away little flyers with him on it. He signed one for me and unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me. But one thing I should mention is what he told me. He said:
    "I'm gonna be a champ one day you'll see. Be on the look out for me I'm coming"
    Truth is I believed him and been a fan since then. The kids well spoken and very smart in the ring. It's bee a long way coming from the days where people were saying he had a glass chin and if fighters like Miller and Harding then he'd never be world class.
    The day he became champ was glorious and a vindication to all the shit talking that was done.

    I'm still not certain how Mustafa will fit in there as but I think he did well with him for the Glen fight. Would have really liked for Floyd Sr. to stay with him but oh! well.

    I've been waiting for BCD-Tarver since BCD beat Adamek I was hoping the fight would take time to materialize since I felt BCD still needed time to work on somethings. Now it's been about a year so it's now or never.
    Really hyped up for it and it just feels good to have seen the kid grow and develope from prospect to contender to title holder.

    Come oooooon BCD!!!!!

    I really don't know how to look at this one.

    On the one hand I think Tarver's old, Dawson's young and extremely athletic, Tarver could really look his age here and get handled.

    On the other hand I could see Tarver outsmarting him a bit, maybe getting into his head and checking Dawson's chin which I'm still not totally sure about except for the fact that I'm sure its not rock solid.

    Will have to make a pick sometime. I guess I'm leaning towards Dawson.
