I was very disappointed with Tarver though, you can't tell me that he was at his best last night. He just had nothing, absolutely nothing.

It was almost as if he was on drugs. He just looked out of it from the first bell. In the corner he wasn't even there, his mind was somewhere else.

I gotta say I think it was a similar situation to when Lewis fought Rahman the first time. He had been distracted filming Oceans 11 and wasn't in shape and paid the price.

I have to say I think it was similar with Antonio last night. He looked terrible, flabby tits, no energy, just awful.
I agree, but I actually thought that would be the case, it's really not that strange if you think about the amount of weight he put on and lost, at his age. I also don't think Tarver has anywhere near the kind of gym habits or focus as Bhop does and obviously didn't prepare as rigirously for this fight.It's not totally like Lewis Rahman either, because Lennox didn't have to lose the weight, and Rahman sucks... I think it's fairly clear last night that Bhop is simply a better fighter than Tarver, this hasn't been Tarvers only weak performance... He sucked against Roy in the third fight, he had very little against Glen Johnson either fight, w
