Tarver-Woods No More Lacey

It was reported earlier that Antonio Tarver was going to take on Jeff Lacy on the undercard of Dawson vs Johnson, somewhere negotiations broke down. Tarver opted to take on a rougher assignment in Clinton Woods who is IBF light heavyweight champion and Tarver will put the lightly regarded IBO title on the line. The winner will face either Dawson or Johnson. Woods and Tarver are not strangers to Johnson, whereas both men fought him twice. Woods is 1-1-1 versus the road warrior and Tarver is 1-1 versus the road warrior,both men are looking elsewhere if they win because neither wants to get it on again with Johnson. Dawson is the youngest of the light heavy weights, his future is still bright at only 25 years of age. Dawson will be around long after they fade into the sunset within the next few years.Tarver vs. Woods, an intriguing match-up in its own as both men feel that they still have something to prove. Each man is trying to single handily wipe out the division.
