CC right back fella

i think tarver has been chosen for a number of reasons....JT was young and in physically top condition wheras tarver is lazy, 37 and can be very inactive himself...

hopkins likes to really try and lay it on from the 6th onwards and i just dont know if tarver will be able to work at the pace hopkins will begin to pressure him with...

tarver says he is going to KO hopkins in 6....i doubt he will land clean on hopkins in those 6 rounds...he will probably waste energy trying to hit a very evasive target...

the championship rounds will be where it is won or lost and i just think that even at the age of 41, hopkins is better conditioned than tarver....

Exactly , for the 1st 8 rounds I can see this being a chess match . Tarvers flurries vs Hopkins ringcraft . I reckon in the last 3 rounds Tarver will up his work cuz he has to . He'l be exhausted by the end but he should have more in the tank than B-Hop . Hopkins has always left alot in reserve but I think he knows what he is capable of at this age and he wont be able to do anything about it when Tarver pours it on .

Its a tough 1 to call and ive never rated Tarver but I think he steals this 1 on points . He showed abit of grit against Johnson but I dfont think B-hop can push him as hard as Glencoffe did . It wont even be that physical early on so age , weight and strength should give the edge to Tarver
