Did anyone see the press conference of Woods v Tarver after the Manny/ Marquez fight.
Tarver seems quite rattled by the lack of respect that has been shown to him. The funniest bit was when Tarver said look how pretty I am. I was rolling on the floor laughing as Pretty is the last thing Tarver is.
Anyway on a serious note what are peoples pick for this. I think Tarver will be favorite but Woods work rate might get him home on an SD.
I don't see any reason why Woods shouldn't beat Tarver comfortably.
Woods, as long as he doesn't "go" overnight, is still in great form.
In the past 2 years Tarver was crap against Roy. Crap against Hopkins. Crap against Muriqi. Crap against Rocky.. and Santiago was a pure nothing fight.
Problem is Woods could get shafted by the judges though. Tarver vs Dawson is a possibilty.
It depends on what Tarver has left. Clinton is pretty much the same in every fight, unspectacular but a good honest worker who is durable and will give 100% effort.
If the Tarver that fought Hopkins shows up Woods beats him in a tough but relatively straightforward points win.
There's not a whole lot between them to be honest. I think the power lies more with Tarver, Woods got rattled a few times by Johnson and I don't see him hurting Tarver, but the workrate and stamina unquestionably lie with Woods.
I think Woods takes over late to win the fight but Tarver is fighting on home soil so if its close I think he'll get the decision
That is true. But you seem to be forgetting the Woods has always been crap. Tarver by UD.Quote:

True. But that means Glengoffe "i was robbed" Johnson is crap too. So Tarvers crap wins extend to Johnson.Quote:

It's 1-1 with a draw. Very evenly matched fighters.
Although Clinton was a bit jammy with the first result. ;)
A decent fight that wiull tell at tale as it plays out.
Unfortunately whoever wins is behind Chad for me.
I think Bilbo was larking around when he said johnson was 3-0 against Woods. Johnson in my opinion won the draw was unlucky in the other fights although I have no problem with them being wins for Woods.
Neither guy does much for me but I hope Tarver does one of two things: Look spectacular(although you usually dont) or get knocked out spectacularly and leave the game.
So even you have it 2-1 for Johnson ;)Quote:

And why has Johnson had to come over to Wood's backyrd each time. Tell me honestly if they hadn't all occurred in the US that Woods wouldnt have lost all 3.
Because Johnson aint worth two bob and his team can't win a purse bid (FW's help aside).Quote:

Johnson has lost 7/8 times in the US.. Clinton is just as likely to beat him over there as he is here ;)
I hate Glenn Johnson for making me hate him ;D He should be the kind of fighter Ive got a lot of time for but I dont, whinging cunt. He got an extra few bob for the first Woods fight, what more does he want?
As it goes although the fight took place in England Woods was the "away" fighter in the 3rd bout.
It was a Frank Warren do. He helped Johnsons team win the purse bids.. Johnson-Calzaghe was being lined up.. for the 50th time.
Micky Vann scored the fight for Johnson.. the two foreigners gave it to Clinton.
Nah. Clinton was lucky to get a hometown decision twice. I had the series 2-0-1 for Johnson. With the third one being the draw.Quote:

Woods had a rough 9th round but other than that you can't tell me that the gloves, elbows and forearms Johnson spent a lot of the fight hitting were enough?...Quote:

That don't make sense boy.
Lets see. All 3 fights took place in the UK. Woods is from the UK. Johnson is not. That kind of makes Woods the hometown fighter. It's not that hard to figure outQuote:

I have it 2-1 for Johnson . I struggle to see how anyone could have it different
Johnson took fights 1 and 2 clearly and Clinton had his number in the 3rd .
Tarver is just as bad as a washed up Johnson but Woods must not let it be that close cuz we know what the Yank judges are like .
yeah, I forgot how bad they fucked him about... Trying to give him a cold dressing room etc... and Vann is so far in Warren's pocket it isn't even funny.Quote:

It's a good thing the other two Judges scored the fight properly.
