I just read today Griffin /Tarver is set for April on Abc. Griffin is the kid from Contender 1. Good Light Heavy match and no PPV! I exspect Antonio to destory the guy for sure, but he does show some punching power judging from fights on his home website wwwotisgriffin.net I hope to see more free fight this year!:banana:
The Next Great Champ was a glorified toughman contest. Both seasons of the Contender had a lot of good pros on it. The Next Great Champ had not much talent at all. This fight will be like watching an execution. I am glad that Otis Griffin was able to make some money from The Next Great Champ, but he could get hurt in this one and shouldn't be doing it.
hahahahaha get the fuck outta here with that article, that shit is obviously fake
nowhere does it mention why dawson was stripped, and this
"He mops like nobody's business."
is just too damn funny and ridiculous
lol
Are you sure? I read this earlier in the week:
This just in- Tarver Champion again! WBC grants him title!
Antonio Tarver was awarded again by the WBC late this afternoon in a move that shocked fans. Tarver recently lost a lopsided decision to middleweight great Bernard Hopkins. After the loss he went into seclusion, falling from the public eye, as trainer Buddy McGirt attempted to console him. Current WBC awardee Dawson was stripped of his title, which he held in pride, as the WBC granted Tarver their top award.
Antonio Tarver, who was hired at the Walmart Super store in Pensacola, Florida soon after his defeat in June to Hopkins, has been a hard worker for the company since his employment began. He was first awarded the WBC (Walmart Board of Customer Service) title in November. He was accepted as the best worker at Walmart by his coworkers, customers, and even former trainer Buddy Mcgirt who had this to say of his former student, "Antonio has been working hard. I tell him, you're still the champ to me, baby. He mops like nobody's business."
Antonio Tarver's work ethic began to wane when he first entertained attempting to return to boxing in January. Joe Dawson, a seventeen year old stock boy from Tampa, was awarded the WBC title later that month due to his steady efforts in the store.
In only took a few weeks for Antonio to decide where his heart lay- in Walmart Super store. With the customers, employees, and the big, yellow smiling face. He promptly gave up any ideas of boxing and returned to working as hard as he could. The WBC took notice and re-awarded him in February. Tarver had this to say, "I'm the champ baby. Nobody like me. Dawson ain't nobody. I'm the legend killer. I'm coming for Greg Nunenz's record of 13 straight WBC best employee wins. I'm taking it to him."
