    That's out of context dude :D

    Why? Does his mouth resembling the vagina of a 50 yr old prosstitute a factor why he lost some fights? :lol:

    :rofl

    he looks good...i feel that he has the stamina to make the later rounds interesting but dawson would be too much in the first 7 rounds

    I would disagree with him being consistant. While he has fought at the top for years his actual performances vary greatly. I often think he sometimes just does enough to win rounds or fights. He could have easily won the first RJJ fight if he simply hadn't switched off for a number of rounds and showed in the second Johnson fight he was able to handle the pace and aggression but didn't do enough in the first fight.

    I think we will see a much better version of Tarver against Dawson but it won't be enough. Hopkins and Dawson have proven that good movement is the key to beating Tarver.

    I couldn't agree less.

    Again I couldn't agree less. At least with the bit about being consistent. He has been in the top ten LHW for a while, I do agree with that.
    But while people go on about how great he is at winning rematches (something they will stop saying after Dawson II) they can't have it both ways and say he is consistent.

    I think he'll give a good fight but I think Dawson pulls out a close decision

    I just put $300 on Tarver to win $1500 back.... Im taking a shot he probably wont win but that is to good of a price to pass up.

    Not much difference from how he looked in the first fight's weigh-in. Tarver just lacks the stamina for a fighter like this, if he can't keep his punches going then he won't do much. Tarver also waits a lot, you wait a lot against a guy like that and he slowly eats you.

    It'll be interesting to see how sharp Chad is in this fight between the hand injury and having to get psyched for a guy he took care of pretty easily the first time around. This could easily become a "trap" fight for Dawson if he's not careful.

    As another side note, I'll find myself once again watching a fight I've been bitching about happening. Figures. :lol:
