Tarver Weighs In At 172!, What does this mean?

[-X-]

He looked good in photos that I saw like he was in great shape

I know the photos you are talking about i saw the same thing, he looked prime and ready, dont count Tarver out of this one guys, his rematches are usually his best performances.

how bout 10k Tarver goes 12?

Ah I'm convinced Tarver will go 12, and do better than he did in the first fight.
I thought you were thinking he'd get Ko'd. Nevermind so

Gotcha.....i have a feeling Tarver may surprise with a decision.

That'd be awesome. Nothing against Chad, but it would be another great storyline in modern LHW boxing.

If the fight is more competitive, it will vindicate HBO for buying it. Did they see something 99% of forum posters didn't? :P

I got almost all my points wrapped up in the Ward-Miranda fight or else id put a small wager on Tarver even, nothing big though since im just not sure

This has to be one of if not the lightest weight Tarver ever posted on the scale. Is he in supreme condition or is he weight drained?

It means he probably hit his target weight a day ahead of schedule. Don't read anything into it, not a big deal.

I love to watch (but not listen to) Tarver, he's one of the truly random events in the universe. On any given day....no, in any given second, he's capable of beating the best in dramatic fashion, or losing to the worst with a lackluster performance, and you just never know what the hell you're going to see until the leather starts flying. Gonna be glued to HBO tomorrow night.

Just to say it up front, I think Tarver is going to be right with his Gods, and will put Dawson's lights out.

He won rematches against Harding, Johnson, and Jones because he was "game" in the first fights. You can even make a case that was he was weight drained against Hopkins. He looked like **** against Dawson and couldn't do anything to beat him, he won't do anything different in the second fight but be a little bit more competitive.

Dawson is just better fighter, what did he show in the first fight that you think he can beat Dawson? The only way I see Tarver beating Dawson is if Dawson takes it easy on him, but this time Dawson is going for the knock out.

Tarver was knocked down and had his jaw broken against Harding.
