Beatdowns! Hype : Can Chad Dawson smack old, big-mouthed Antonio Tarver?

Showtime is really going crazy with the "I Am a Fighter" video series here. After doing a bunch of these videos for MMA fighters, including Kimbo Slice, Gina Carano and Jake Shields, they have now done it for Antonio Tarver and Chad Dawson, who will fight on Saturday October 11 at 9 PM ET for Tarver's IBF/IBO light heavyweight titles.

I like what Showtime is doing with the promotion though, as it's about time the classic fight sport of boxing gets some hip, easily digestible marketing treatment for the younger fans :

A. Antonio Tarver


B. Chad Dawson

I'm definitely interested in seeing whether the game but almost 40 Antonio Tarver has anything left in the tank to keep himself from getting eaten alive by the young lion "Bad" Chad Dawson.
