Clinton Woods Vs Tarver outcome!!!

[yvonne]

Hi U.K boxings fans.Have any of you's got a idea what the outcome of the up and coming bout between Clinton Woods Vs Traver fight will be?How do you think the fight will dominate,who do you think will have the advantage and if so why?Im a great fan of Woods.I think he has the full package as a really good boxer.I like and feel he fights greater when he doubles up on his punches as well as him applying the great old 1-2s.Theres no dought that he has the power either...Great right hand!He has really improved after each fight from the pass couple of bouts.I think he'll be too good for Tarver and i see him taking to the canvass in round 8-9.
Would like him to fight Roy Jones jnr for a rematch?or would you like to see him have a good old domestic fight with Joe Calzaghe?
Both fights could easily happen!!!

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.

Alright they mate!Some good points there on the Woods Vs Tarver bout.How do you feel about a Woods Vs Jones rematch?It's a great possibility for it happen again soon.I've even heard that Roy Jones would jump to the chance on fighting Woods again.I think if their do get it on again that Woods will have a better chance of winning the fight with Jones 2nd time around.

I reckon Woods will be fitter, stronger and more motivated than Tarver, who hasn't impressed at all in recent outings, and might even get the KO later on as he wears Tarver down.

There isn't much love for Tarver on this board from most fight fans, and I hate to say it but in this case its probably deserved. Bad fights against Bernard Hopkins and uninspiring against Muriqi and Santiago more recently have seen his stock drift downward, and the "Rocky Balboa" fiasco hasn't done him any favours either.

As for Woods, assuming he gets past Tarver, I'd love to see him go against Calzaghe, because although Calzaghe's going up against Hopkins, I think he'll be wanting to become a two-weight world champ before retiring.

Could've sworn I replied a second time to this thread before!

I'll mention it again. Traver is like Zab, it depends which Tarver shows up.
