    Am I the only one who’s relatively excited about this?? Obviously Tarver is an overweight fossil, but he knows the game better than most. And Banks is reasonably talented, too. I think it’s a good matchup, or at least something different to what we’re used to seeing at heavyweight these days. Two effective counter punchers mixing it up in a do-or-die (and, admittedly, probably do-and-die) fight – I’ll gladly watch.

    Who's gonna play the aggressor, come-forward role? :conf

    I hope Banks engages more than he did vs clueless Mitchell in their rematch.

    As horrible as it is to think, I am going with Tarver by knockout. If your getting out hustled by Seth Mitchell, Tarver should have enough tricks up his sleeve to land some bombs.

    I thought Tarver was a fugitive?

    Are they going to fight in a sewage pipeline....loser has to jump a 100 ft into a river, and away from tommy lee jones?

    K2 could have the fix in for Banks to lose again. Then Wlad can fight the man that beat Rocky.
