i think clinton woods let nerves get to him when he fought tarver in america,he made tarver look alot better than he is.Dawson on the other hand dissapointed me when he barely edged aging 'road warrior' glen johnson.i find this a difficult fight to pick a winner.I am going to stick my neck out and say it will be a draw
I think Dawson's speed and youth be too much for Tarver. Look for Dawson's bodywork to play a big role in it. I love watching Dawson go to the body.
Close fight, i'm giving the edge to Tarver. Dawson suspect chin could be the issue. If Tarver will caught him, he wont let him breath.
i am going with dawson to throw more leather than the conservative tarver and get the win on the back of it. if dawson sets any kind of pace , tarver will not be able to live with it.
I really hope Dawson wins-I hate Milkdud. I can only hope Tarver has a bad night like he's had in the past-He's quite inconsistent.
Tarver is looking old. That is Dawson's only hope with that chin of his. My prediction is Tarver will do to Dawson what Hopkins did to Tarver. I think Tarver's left will connect on Dawson's chin. Tarver KO Dawson in the 10th round.
If the Tarver that showed up against Woods shows up in terms of hand speed/foot speed and overall good mix of offense, i think Tarver wins by KO as his hand speed/foot speed will be fast enough to pose Dawson some problems. If the Tarver that fought Hopkins shows up and he looks unmotivated and is only looking for the left and stands flat footed with little movement, Dawson by wide UD. The uncertainty is Tarver as we know what we will get from Dawson.
When's the last time Tarver hit somebody HARD like that ***** Roy Jones? Oh wait, I think it WAS Roy Jones. If he couldn't hurt Woods (despite winning easily) I don't think he will hurt Chad. Roy Jones is probably the only bum out there Tarver could still knock out - and that's just b/c Roy would be so terrified that he'd collapse from even a light punch.
