Anyone apart from me rooting for Tarver to KTFO Dawson?

[Kev]

I know he's one of the most hated men in the sport but I have to confess he's secretly growing on me.

With Toney no longer fighting very often I'd say Tarver is the premier trash talker in boxing and he does make me laugh.

I've got a sneaky feeling he's going to completely and utterly expose Chad Dawson, outwitting and befuddling him, dropping him and eventually forcing the referee to step in and save him in the final couple rounds.

I'm hoping he does a number on him, Dawson didn't impress me at all against Johnson and I think is ready to get taken to school.

Go Tarver!!

Bilbo I'm starting to think you and I are water & oil.
Like the film "Unbreakable" where one is fragile and the other is firm.

I've noticed that you and I completely root for opposite fighters more often then not.

I'm a huge BCD fan and been a long time since BCDs early fights. I think BCD is gonna outbox Tarver from begining to end.

It's not just you Mick, I seem to naturally gravitate towards fighters that the majority dislike, Froch, Mora, Tarver, Mayorga etc.

I think at some deep level I like to be antagonistic and different from the herd.

But Tarver is one of those fighters who no matter what you think about him deserves more credit for his acomplishment than he has gotten over the years.

I'm looking forward to this matchup immensely.
