At best Johnson got a draw. He can't really complain about being robbed of a win. He didn't win 7 rounds or more.
Dawson is incredibly skilled but DAMN he has awful recovery and to make it worse, he's VERY hittable. It's only a matter of time before he gets TKOed. As much as I hate Tarver I think Tarver could do it.
Here we go with the kneejerk reactions,.. "Hopkins would fuck him up!" .... horseshit,... Hopkins throws 1 punch a round.
Damn, I´m happy I didn´t bet on Woods and Castillejo. Tarver really turned the clock a bit back after his horrible showings against Muriqi and Santiago.
Tarver is much better then Woods. I can't understand why so many people figured he was good enough to beat Tarver. Like i tried telling people on here Tarver has no trouble with straight ahead guys.
Fair enough about woods not being good enough. But how can you say Tarver has no trouble with straight ahead guys. Does Glencoffe Johnson ring a bell?
I didn't see the first 9 rounds of the johnson fight But i gave him 2 out of the last 3 rounds. Great fight by both fighters though.
Yeah but except for Bernard Hopkins, Glen Johnson does that to everyone. That's like saying a guy can't handle speed because he got outboxed by Floyd Mayweather.
Light heavyweight became a truelly SHIT division today, and with Hopkins set to grapple, and stink out next weeks match, it's only gunna get poorer.
Robbed my arse. And even if you think Tarver won, it would be too much of a stretch to say he wasn't even troubled by Glen.
Not really. Johnson is hardly a 175 pound Henry Armstrong. He's a very good fighter, but he is a straight forward pressure fighter with pretty good defense.
Goddamn did Woods fight poorly tonight. At absolute best he won maybe three rounds, and that's being pretty generous. Credit to Tarver, though. He schooled Woods tonight... Dawson was shit, BTW. I thought he lost by a round, though I could see it fair enough a draw or a round to Chad. But 116-112 UD was awful. As someone else has said, 175 took a real hit tonight. Chad looked very beatable indeed and Woods was outclassed. Not good. MTF
:: Nobody. He's an excellent fighter like I said. But that's not the point. Point is, one can't say Tarver eats straight ahead guys for breakfast and overlook Mr Johnson. By the way, why on earth do you like Tarver? He's one of the most boring and annoying fighters of his generation.
