Dawson vs. Tarver Reportedly Postponed, Chad Injured

[mercadojglb]

The word going around boxing insiders is that IBF light heavyweight champion Chad Dawson (27-0, 17 KOs) injured his right hand in training camp and will not be able to move forward with his HBO televised rematch with Antonio Tarver (27-5, 19 KOs) on March 14th. The March date was going to be Dawson's debut on the network and the first fight for Tarver on the network since losing a 2006 decision to Bernard Hopkins. [details]

****. They are normally right.

How ****ing disapointing. Hopefully Tarvious Cloud can step in, but I doubt it

The bull**** fight shoudn't have been happening anyway but I'd rather see a fight than nothing.

"BootyTalk has been informed tha that undefeated light heavyweight champion Chad Dawson suffered a hand injury that will force him to pull out of his March 14 rematch with Antonio Tarver. BT understands the bout will be postponed to a later date. Remember where you heard it first!"

If I had to pick an HBO fight to be canceled, it would surely be this one.

Haha I agree. But the ****ty part is that now this ****** fight just gets delayed.

I would have just wanted to get it over with.

God damn it...further pushing Dawson away from meaningful fights.

If HBO wants to show a Tarver fight on that night how about Tarver-Johnson 3. With the winner getting a shot a Dawson (I doubt Taver would go for it, but I can dream).

To me it is no big deal if this fight never happeaned, but it getting pushed back is the worst outcome, because this will have to be cleaned up before Dawson can move on to better things.
