I think Tarver will win in a snoozer. These are 2 guys who are cautious counter punchers that don't give you much of a target. This style match up is really ugly, the type of fight Antonio Tarver does not need. Tarver's popularity is sinking to all time lows right now. He doesn't fight regularly, has only fought against Jones and Johnson since 2003, and is coming off of a snoozer against an over the hill Roy Jones.
This fight will really put a nail in the coffin with regards to Tarver's marketability. I suspect that after this fight, he will find that there aren't many big money opportunities at lightheavyweight.
He will then make an ill-advised decision to move up to heavyweight where he will bite off more than he can chew. After losing at heavyweight, where does he go from there? He has struggled for years to make lightheavyweight, so it is doubtful he will go back. He would probably take off some weight, move down to the cruiserweight division, and have mixed success in the twilight of his career.
His plan of selecting big money, over the hill legends instead of young legitimate contenders is going to take its toll on Tarver's career. At this point, hes simply in it for the money.
Tarver has been hurt in only one fight that I have seen and that was against Eric Harding the first time around (Harding broke his jaw and knocked him down). Other than that, I'm dying to know how a fucking middleweight who doesn't even KO middleweights is gonna KO the Light Heavyweight King.
shhhhh!!! we can dream cant we?

Tarver is gonna whip is 41 year old crying ass all over that ring. Tarver kills another legend, maybe by KO. Not sure yet, but Hopkins is fucking dead.
Its like this...... B_HOP and Tarver will box a great fight up until say the 9th round.......Tarver will win the 8th the 9th will be close Hop will win the 10th and mark my words(HOPEFULLY)pull a ODLH TITO and TKO Tarver with a vicious combo or body shot!
Hahaha Bernard KOing the puncher? Not at all. He is gonna run and box. But Tarver will win.
