[Allucard]

Im goin to vegas OCtober 10th for the first time, and Id like to throw down my first bet in Vegas on the Tarver vs Dawson fight...

Im interested in what you guys think the realistic outcome to this fight will be...

Obviously anyone else's opinion is important as well...

Does anyone know the odds on this fight? or the over/under?

And the winner meets k Pav for a showdown Woot!!!

[abadger]

I think it could go either way. I'm leaning towards Dawson because Tarver is getting on in years and the fight against Woods that restored his reputation was not, in truth, against the highest quality opposition, especially not with the way Woods performed. I view Dawson's victory over Johnson as better, and if Dawson can win a cleaner, harder shots based victory over a punching machine like Johnson then I think he can over a declining Tarver.

That said, Tarver has often been underestimated in his career and could be again. At his best he' a smart and cagey fighter and if Dawson doesn't bring his A game Tarver might have that little bit too much savvy. It will be an awkward fight between two counterpunching lefties and Tarver's superior experience may help him in these circumstances. There are also question marks over Dawson's chin and Tarver has decent power, but if I'm honest I don't see Tarver stopping him.

If I were betting I would put my money on a Dawson decision, but I'm not, because I wouldn't be at all surprised by a Tarver victory either. We've seen both youth triumph over experience and experience triumph over youth before and in this fight I find the call very hard to make.

gadam.i voted wrong.

[Froch You]

I voted Tarver by KO and I'm hoping he does it because I have points riding on him but I have a feeling Dawson wins a decision in a cautious fight.

Dawson is way to susceptable to taking punches. I cant pick against Tarver in this one. And I think he's clearly on his way out. Clinton Woods just didnt put up a fight. All it takes is one for Tarver. He could get his ass beat for 10 rounds and land a nice straight left or uppercut that puts Dawson on ***** street.

[THE REED]

i think its a safer bet that it will go the distance rather than who will win.... there about the same odds anyways

[Ryn0]

Dawson is younger, faster, has better stamina and proberbly more powerful. The only advantage Tarver has is durability. IF Dawson boxes like he did in the Admek fight and really pumps that counter right like Hopkins did then a stoppage is not out of the question. Tarver tends to relax when he has to act and fights in spurts, Dawson UD is the most likely outcome.

[MELLY-MEL...]

Dawson will win.
