A - He probably wasn't paid much for that.
B - One does not fight over a meal if they are rolling in dough.
C - This could be like Tyson vs Jones. Low risk and a payday.

I think Tarver will win this easily.

He just needs to box him.

This is Tarver’s way of entering the WBA rankings..

I doubt it was over the bill. It was probably over something else.

Are we seriously talking about this nonsense fight?

By the way, there's another interesting fact about names. Tarver hasn't won any Franks, while Mir defeated two Antonios (Nogueira X2, Silva) and Antoni Hardonk. It seems like Tarver is condemned.

But what are the stats on them fighting Mir's and Tarver's?

Mir's best boxing displays were in breaking down and stopping Nogueira, in destroying Silva and Duffee.

Personally, I think the Noqueira fight stands out as his great striking performance and although his stand up looked much more composed in his fights against Bigfoot and Dufee, their chins were non-existant at this point and the KO was almost inevitable.

Either way, it's still not good enough to beat Tarver with his skills, it may just be who's body has the most left which is a sad way to judge a fight.

If Jake Paul wants you on his undercard, you do it. Mir wasn't a good boxer by UFC standards. Easy money.

Since when is Jake Paul an household name ? The man is a meme fighter and is only destined to have meme fight. That's why he is about and people after just a couple of years are starting to caugh up with the bs and understands why those fights are ridiculous and shouldn't happen.

He's the biggest name in boxing.

Wish he was trolling but sadly not far from the truth. Boxing has kind of become boring, with the top fighters not fighting the other best.

Opening it up for these so-called meme guys that people care more about.

Replaced by Steve Cunningham. This is a worse option for Mir.

Where has he popped out from.

Perseus wrote: ↑24 Mar 2021, 06:09 Georgia commission has a bylaw that says a fighter age 50 or older has to have had 10 fights in the 10 preceding years.
Tarver doesn't qualify.

LeRoiDuRing wrote: ↑13 Mar 2021, 15:02 This might be slightly off-topic but why is Antonio Tarver coming back ? Is he broke ? And how much money is he getting from that ?

As I never heard of the other guy I really can't tell who's the most likely to win
