Chad Dawson-Antonio Tarver Set For March 14, HBO

[ironjab]

Tarver will be like Judah, loads of top level fights and top level paydays for no good reason

[Addition]

HBO aren't interested in Froch/Taylor but are showing Dawson/Tarver?

[ironjab]

HBO are probably interested in showing it as some people might think Tarver is actually Mason 'the line' Dixon

[starjammer]

Why won't HBO push a Johnson rematch instead?

[Wales08]

Terrible bout.

[Migs]

If anyone deserves the rematch against Dawson it's Glen Johnson. I thought the first fight was awesome and it definitely warrants a rematch, much moreso than this fight did.

[boxing_great]

this fight is pointless

[Savino]

What is the point seriously? if it was a close first fight then yeah, but not after Dawson won with ease last time.

[The Hammer]

Why was Dawson calling out Calzaghe and Kessler when he knew he had to fight a rematch?

[DrewWoodside]

With very few opponents biting, IBF light heavyweight champion Chad Dawson is going to fight Antonio Tarver in a rematch on March 14 on HBO. The first fight was televised by Showtime on October 11 with Dawson putting on a dominating performance to win the title from Tarver. Soon after Tarver made it known that he was going to exercise his rematch clause. Tarver has been called the master of the rematch, winning his rematch bouts with Eric Harding, Roy Jones Jr. and Glen Johnson. But this time Tarver is the old veteran coming in against the young lion who dominated him in the first meeting. [details]

This is DUMB.
