ICB's RBR Of Chad Dawson vs Antonio Tarver

[Gandalf]

It could go either way, but I like to think Tarver can rattle Dawson and take more rounds.

Tarver UD or possible stoppage. Im really not sure though.

[Markusdarkus]

Dawson is highly skilled but is far from an all round fighter. He got a gift (imo) against a Glen johnson that lost to the mighty Clinton Woods.

If Tarver gets in Dawsons face and roughs him up he will win. Id he elects to box Dawson he loses.

Tough call i go dawson another dodgy dec.

[El Kabong]

BCD by decision...he starts off solid and outworks Tarver but slows down and it's close late.

Dawson by UD. Tarver is grabage. He can make it tricky for Clinton Woods with his style. But Woods is even more garbage. Dawson is the more fresher, hungrier fighter. Let's remember a past it B-Hop took Tarver to school.

LOL. what you said is true. but dont forget tarver has that one punch ko power. but as i see it, that if it goes to a decision Chad will get the win, which i hopes happen. and the reason bhop took tarver to skool is because tarver couldnt land a damn thing all night, and chad aint no bhop.

valid point, I think the fight will be close early with Dawson dominating the second half of the fight en route to a wide decision.

A past it B hop who would have also taken Chad Dawson and Glen Johnson to school in all likeliness. Not sure who to pick in this one really, Dawson did look vulnerable against Johnson who definetly doesn't crack as hard as Tarver so I lean towards milk dud. Not really sure how the styles will play out but there's no question Tarver is stopping him if he lands the right punch.

I have never cheered for Tarver. But on this I will. The last Johnson fight bummed me out.

ok fella's i have to admit i'm totally bias on this one, i can't stand tarver so i picked him to loose by double K.O. I hope dawson Ko's his ass, tarver wakes up in the locker room and dawson comes around the corner in a bathtowel and knocks his ass out again. I met dawson at arco arena last year while at his mendoza fight, i should have shoved some brass knuckes in his pocket like the burger king dude.

Conventional wisdom says BCD to dominate an old Tarver BUT Antonio is probably one of the most confident fighters of this era and a proven clutch performer he is not a shop worn 39 either.. Tarver also has other intangibles as well.. Like I said everyone likes to see Tarver dribbled around the ring like a basketball, but I'm feeling that Dawson is gonna be getting his chin checked for the KO by Tarver.

[ICB]

Bump i don't know why the sticky got took off this thread.

[Saddo]

yeah i stickied it too early... sorted now
