Woods v Tarver/Dawson v Johnson Light Heavyweight RBR double header

[No Contest]

I had it 115-115 a draw..hehe wouldn't be shocked if they give it to Dawson.

[Kev]

If I'm to have any remaining chance of winning the prediction contest I need Dawson to get the decision here.......

[No Contest]

Bullshit....

Story of the mans career.

Bullshit...but props to Dawson he showed some heart.

oops

Bullshit...but props to Dawson he showed some heart. Over to

Once was enough Nc....but I agree that Dawson showed great spirit and resilience in fighting through the barrage in the later rounds. I'm loath to call it a robbery however, as I had Johnson down and out in 7 & 8 with Dawson ruling the roost.

My girlfriends Setanta keeps freezing, so watching the Cotto card instead. Cintron vs. Margo about to start...

I missed the decision to Dawson-Johnson at the vital moment.

Ok Tarver Woods up soon.

Tarver is in his home town which will make it all the more hilarious when he gets booed and jeered on his way to the ring

He'll probably have uncles, auntie's and cousins in the crowd throwing fruit at him and calling him a wanker

I really wanted Johnson to win but I had it 7 rounds to 5 for Dawson. Tough break for one of boxing's classiest, toughest, hardest working personalities.

Johnson's post fight reaction was touching. Poor guy has been on the wrong side of too many close/bad decisions.

Yeah, I totally sympathise with Johnson coming close yet again, but he's been a world title holder before, and although he's come close so often, and taken bad decisions more than once, you have to judge each fight on its merit, and Johnson didn't do enough to emphatically take the title for me, so I don't deny Dawson hanging on to his title.

Woods looking confident as he comes into the ring. Disgraceful that Tarver gets to come in second as champion because he holds the IBO belt. He's NOT a champion of nothing except his ego. That just riled me, come on Clinton, KNOCK THIS CHUMP OUT! That guy has an ego the size of Texas, sadly, he's on the same intellectual level as George Dubya.

Next up its fight time, and I really hope Woods does it now. As if Tarver's bauble is counted as a world title. Someone needs to slap some sense into that boy.

[Violent Demise]

Fukk Woods. Hopes he gets knocked out

[superheavyrhun]

Both fighters look fairly relaxed in there, and Tarver's also got some ridiculous shadow of a mustache. I've been looking forward to this one since the last big fight, and Tarver looks fairly nervous when it actually comes to the introductions. He also looks quite gaunt in the face , not someone from the bigger divisions. He does however get a big reception from the home fans, and a fair share of boos from the Brits. Woods gets even more boos though, with the English flags flying in the ring to boot. The enthusiastic bell ringer keeps banging away at it.

Round 1:

Cagey opening by both guys, with jabs from each being parried. Woods glances a jab with the first landing blow. Straight right lands from Tarver, but a body shot from Woods dug in. Body shot from Tarver, but woods gets another one in. Right hook and body shot from Woods. Left hook from Tarver. Tarver fi nding a rhythm, but takes a jab from Woods. And another. Body shot from Tarver blocked, this is still cagey stuff. Jab from Woods, but a counter left glances off Woods. Straight right from Tarver blocked. Body shot from Woods as Tarver falls short.

Close round, probably edged by Tarver.
10-9
