Its still there;D
Didn't see the fight but listened to it on the radio. Sounds like he pretty much dominated the fight.
So another title shot maybe against Dawson next?...........
Yes the mediocrity is thereQuote:

I'm glad he beat Muriqi, he's annoying.
well done clinton I hope he gets another pop at that TWAT tarver ;D
I've just asked who won in the UK thread based on the fight.Quality new that Woods won.Its a real shame it was'nt boardcasted live on t.v though.I really wanted to watch Woods make his long awaited return!
Nice one Woods;)
Well if he gets the title fight i do hope he gives it everything this time. I really dont know what happened against Tarver, that wasnt the usual Woods we all know.
I dont quite understand how somebody doesnt turn up to the oppertunity of thier career and fight their hearts out. Especially from somebody as whole hearted as Clinton.
I dont think hed have enough to beat Dawson but he should atleast make sure hes in the perfect frame of mind and give it everything. He was gutted with himself last time, it wasnt the defeat it was the performance.
The fight was in Jersey, thats the island next door to where I live in Guernsey, apparently Hobson lives there.
The fight was in their leisure centre thats falling apart and can only seat 900 people, the fighters must have got paid an absolute pittance!!
Im glad Woods has done well here though, I really expected him to batter Tarver but hopefully what he said about being ill leading up to that match is true, although id still see him having trouble with Dawsons speed, I think he could deffinitly make him fight.
Ok, it took Woods 3 gos;D but he got a clearer win over Johnson than Dawson did;D
I can never understand why Clinto never got the acclaim he deserved, he was just nver really marketed at all! Its a pity, he puts in the work, he should receive the media too.
He's a good hard working guy! things never went right in the Tarver fight for some reason it was a shame.Glad he got a win last night.
In fact it wasnt 900, it was only 600!!
Whith no TV money and paying the fighters out of ticket sales but haviing to pay about £5000 for the rent of the hall, how much dyou reckon the tickets would have been worth?
If Clintons any good at plastering, hed make as much or more doing that:-\
It's plain to see now that Clinton froze against Tarver rather than him being shot, shame really because that was a winnable fight with Clinton at 100%.
I think Clinton is getting on now and should look for a big fight/payday before he calls it quits.
Clinton is a home bird, he could take on any light heavy in his home town just not in the USA.

Keep him in sheffield now and let him just make a decent buck fighting 2nd tier opponents now before calling it a day.
I see him as becoming a gatekeeper to the title, should maybe let him take on some of the up and comers at LHW.
I like Clinton, good honest professional. Blew it against a Tarver who was there for the taking. Maybe he could have been marketed better, but I don't think he'll cry over it as he's had many many opportunities in his career.

I hope for his own health he doesnt fight Dawson .
