Why is Tarver fighting a bum tonight?

[Jim Jeffries]

Why is Tarver fighting a guy that has NEVER won a title, and was knocked out in his last fight by undefeated WBO champ Zsolt Erdei and knocked out in his only other shot at a world title against Rocky Torres?

because he needs a "look good" fight, he didn't necessarily look like the best of his division, he needs a dominating performance, an eye opener where you don't really give a **** who he knocked out you just see how he looked and what he's still capable of, it gives Dawson a chance to build his stock and possibly meet up with Antonio in the middle to end of next year.. 100

This showtime card is pretty horrible besides the Maldonado Vs Donaire fight, Showtime used to have **** cards like this years ago when don king was putting on watever he wanted.

Is the same Santiago that got kicked off the contender because Sugar Ray thought he would have a hard time losing the weight?
