Early thoughts on the upcoming Chad Dawson and Antonio Tarver fight

Question

I know it is early but please give your predictions and thoughts on this fight.

im picking Tarver by UD

Answer 1

At 39, Tarver is at an age when his skills can disappear at any time.  I expect Dawson to go all out to make Antonio expend as much energy as possible and wear him down in the second half of the fight.  

I pick Dawson by KO after round seven.

Answer 2

I am excited about this fight, this was the fight showtime was waiting for to happen and now they have it on October 11th.  I think it will be a very good fight, both have good hand speed, both have power in both hands.  In my mind i think Dawson should win because he has a good body attack, and i think he'll slow down the 39 year old tarver and eventually win the late rounds with ease.  Tarver is very skilled also and has a great left hand.  I think Dawson is faster, stronger, and is younger and i think that will be the key to this fight.  Tarver will try to counterpunch Dawson and catch him with lefts, i think since dawsons a southpaw like tarver he'll have a harder time landing.  Tarver will try and get him to fight, and dawson will probably use the ring to his advantage.  I see Chad Dawson winning by Spllit Decision over Antonio Tarver in a very close, very good fight.

Answer 3

my thoughts on the fight are Dawson is making a big mistake,

Tarver is the best lightheavyweight imo,

Tarver will knock him out,

look for him to counter punch and catch Dawson with his left hand repeatedly,

ive got Tarver by ko
