    I did too but looking back you could say Woods was on form and tarver wasnt ( previous to the figh obv.) however you could also say Woods was overachieving a bit and tarver was fighting nowhere near as well as he could. Which ( with hindsight ) is I guess the case

    I wouldn't go that far, he looked okay. I was very disapointed with Clinton, he was pathetic, I've no idea what happened to him

    I still think Dawson beats Tarver, and I'm not even high on Dawson

    Hopkins and Calzaghe both destroy him

    He was hyped here by his nuthugging fans. Some saying he would provide a better test to Calzaghe than Hopkins would. There's even a thread here about it.

    I'm not a hater of UK fighters just sick and tired of UK posters discrediting US fighters like Hopkins. I'm actually a Calzaghe fan and like Witter and Haye. Most of time time I just do it to stir up certain posters like Arran and a couple others.

    Was it a good performance? Yes. But lets put things in perspective.... Woods is no Glen Johnson and I feel that tarver would need a better fight to be labeled as "back"

    I think prior to this fight, Woods and Johnson were both regarded as two of the better LHW's. Most people in here seemed to pick Woods to beat Tarver based on recent outings. It's easy to say that Woods is NOW no Johnson but peopel didn't feel that way coming into the fight.

    And i do feel he's back. He looks re-newed. At least noticeably better than his last 2 fights, and it's not like he was horrible in them either. He was a lot less methodical and showed a lot better movement both with his feet and overall movement. He wasn't as stationary as before and just going with the jab and left. He was throwing from a lot more angles.

    I really think his opposition motivated him. I think Tarver's the type of guy who needs to be properly motivated. He couldn't do that against nobodies but he knew he had a real challenge in Woods and he came in prepared.

    Right now, i see Tarver beating any LHW out there outside of Hopkins.
