    So who do you all see winning this one? I think it might be close going into the later rounds but i have Dawson winning on points because Tarver will fade in the later rounds. The only way i see Tarver winning is by KO early on as Dawson chin is suspect but i think Dawson will be too good defensively for that to happen.

    I thought there would be some interest in this fight. Is there not going to be a poll for it?

    Would like to see it alright. Now as you mention it yeah I think its competitive enough for a poll. Too late at this stage Id say. Havent seen Dawson much so dont know who I see winning it.
    If I remeber right Woods was quite passive against tarver and on the same bill Dawson just edged a decision over Johnson (missed that one though) and I heard he didnt look impressive.

    Can't see Tarver doing it. You're right. He will have to knock Dawson out early but if it does go would on to the end be interesting to see. I think Tarver is very a hot-cold fighter. He never really wow-ed me. What station is it on? Is it on the Same time as the KLITSCHKO V PETER fight.

    I think the Vitali Klitschko vs. Samuel Peter is on setanta sports 1 at 10 pm
    and the Antonio Tarver v Chad Dawson is on Setanta Sports 2 at 2am

    Go raibh maith agat, Nacho.Will have to get the dodgey box up and running then for saturday night. I read somewhere that the 2 fights were on the same time but a taping delay on the Tarver V Dawsoon Fight because it was going to be shown directly after the Klitschko V Peter Fight

    I think Dawson it the better fighter but he also IMO has the potential to be a bigger bum than Tarver.

    This is a real pick'em SD either way.

    Does anybody know a LEGITIMATE SITE where I can watch the Tarver-Dawson & Klitschko-Peter fights. I don't mind paying (within reason). Will be away saturday and won't be able to watch them in the boozer.PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

    dawson me thinks. should be that little bit faster and win in a close decision


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,004 ✭✭✭Big Ears


    Haven't a clue about this one tbh, could go any way.

    However if I was forced to pick I'd go for the younger Dawson.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,380 ✭✭✭✭nacho libre


    So then a comprehensive victory for Dawson. Tarver had no answer for Dawson's handspeed, and Tarver's age started to show from the middle rounds onwards. I wonder will we ever seem Dawson and Kessler get in the ring.

    Was there talk of that? I doubt Jones or Calzaghe will be calling him out any time soon anyway.
