Default Re: Clinton Woods Vs Tarver outcome!!!

Hey Yvonne,
I think that Tarver is the unknown Quantity in this fight. He's looked verd lethargic lately and many have accused him of getting old.
Of course this may be true, but it's also a possibility that his lay off and subsequent weight gain during the filming of "Rocky Balboa" has played a part in this.
If Tarver shows up motivated and in shape, he's a handful.
His reputation as a puncher is overestimated, the stoppage of Jones was good, but Jones could have been knocked cold by even Vinny pAZ, had a blow landed on his head the way Tarver did. Of course no blow thrown with intent in boxing is a fluke.

Woods is the much more reliable fighter. He trains diligently and in every fight he arrives in condition, looking to add to his "w" column.
Woods is technically sound and although not a recognised puncher has enough power to demand respect.
A solid fighter, with a much more solid mentality than Tarver, Clinton has to be the favourite.

Clinton should grind out the win, if he tries to bully Tarver early. Tarvers will is easily broken. We all saw in the Hopkins fightnthe great intentions he came out with in the sixth. These rebellious feelings were easily quelled when Hopkins roughed him up on the inside.
Clinton needs to bully Tarver early, who is essentially a bully himself and will back down when he cant impose his will on the opponent.
