Punch Power: 3664 | | Clinton Woods Fights on!! Good day U.K boxing chums!I've just read that Clinton Woods will soon be boxing again after losing his IBF light-heavyweight title belt to Antonio Taver earlier in the year.Woods manager Dennis Hobson said that Woods will be fighting again in september this year.
Im really glad he's continuing....I've always liked Clinton,as boxer as well as a person!!I feel he could have box better against Tarver,mind you Taver fought really well i thought.To me Clinton was'nt moving his head as much during the fight and he never seemed to get his 1-2s combinations off as usual.WELL DONE WOODS!!!!!!!  |

Punch Power: 0 | | Re: Clinton Woods Fights on!! I really like Clinton. I think if anything he has overachieved in his career. Hes likeable, improved hugely over 2-3 years and is just a nice guy.
However he has nights where he just doesnt perform. He didnt perform in the 2nd Johnson fight due to " what he said" was a iron deficiency. Then in the Tarver fight he didnt work hard enough and seemed to freeze. I have to say im not too interested in his latest coemback. |

Plus he's only gonna have one more before he retires.
After the Tarver fight, Clinton sounded down and out and like he really didn't want to fight anymore. We shall see, but he doesn't really excite me tbh. |

Punch Power: 4959 | | Re: Clinton Woods Fights on!! Been talking with Clint, and I believe him when he says it was a terrible nights work and he never had a good days preperation for the fight. Clint is pissed off. Knowing him as I do, I wouldnt back against him  .

Punch Power: 10480 | | Re: Clinton Woods Fights on!! I don't see how Woods can have any fans. He didn't even try against Tarver. And afterwards said he was satisfied with his performance.

Punch Power: 262 | | Re: Clinton Woods Fights on!! +34 agreed, the tarver fight was poor (which was a shame cos i really wanted him to do something in that fight) but you dont give up being a fan just because of one bad performance (i'd have no boxers to follow lol!). He'll bounce back! |
