    Tarver is a big guy with a big punch. He stalks and cuts off the ring effectively. Calzaghe is a smaller guy and a light hitter. If he closed the distance on Dawson he would just get ****ed up. Dawson would not have to worry about a big left hand.

    Tarver can put his punches together like a pro but his footwork is horrible. Expect Dawson to stick and move and clinch and win the fight off the jab and the right to the body.

    don't compare Tarver to Calzaghe man its not the same class.

    I think Dawson will win, but I'll be the first to say, Chad can become very complacent at times, and if Antonio can exploit that, he could very well win with a knockout.

    As much as I'd love Tarver to win, he looked beyond shot in the last fight.

    Tarver-Dawson I was one of the best examples I've seen of a guy who seemed to have just 'lost it' due to age. Tony looked pathetic, and I felt bad for him.

    I hope tonight's better, but I'm not expecting much.

    Mason Dixxon looked like someone had found a person from a retirement home and put gloves on him.

    He had zero power on his shots, looked like he was throwing punches underwater and was a shell of the fighter who twice beat RJJ.

    I'm liking that it sounds he's just gonna go out fighting, starting to not expect this to last the distance.
