Photos: Chad Dawson, Antonio Tarver Make Weight

I was thinking the same about Tarver being 172, that's not good imo.

Tarver came in lighter because he knows he's gonna have to chase Dawsons ass around the ring. Dawson looks less cut hand heavier than he usually does.. I think this fight will be a lot closer than the 1st one. I see Dawson tiring this time around but still winning a 116-112...

The key for Tarver isn't really that he weighs 172. In Tarver's losses he's always come down from a really high walking around weight so hopefully this time he trained properly and didn't baloon up in between fights.

So if he started training and wasn't heavy, maybe now he's finally in good shape again.

The kind of shape he was in beating Roy Jones, Glen Johnson, Reggie Johnson, etc etc.

I hope it's a good fight this time.

That ballooning up in between fights catches up to fighters, that's why Hopkins is able and Mayweather will be able to lace em up and look good at and after 40, but guys like Morales and Hatton are done or close to it by 30.

Whether he trained harder for this fight or not makes little difference against fighters like Dawson. He'll be trying to pull the trigger, won't be able to, tire out trying and get defensive, Dawson late KO.
