Muriqi vs Woods for IBF eliminator !

anymore than it loves Griffin or Gonzalez ?, at least Gonzalez wins some of his IBF eliminators . Griffin has lost 3 in a row .

Woods had been their champion for 3 years and has only got one IBF eliminator in the past, it's not that unusual he's getting his chance .

If Woods turns up live he did against Tarver he loses, if he's like he was against Gonzalez(II) or Johnson(III) he should win easily enough .

 

Woods was really horrid vs Tarver, I mean really horrid. As was pretty much the fight. I watched this instead of Cotto - Gomez lol.

Anyways im suprised he got this eliminator....

I dunno what happened with Woods in that fight with Tarver... I think he won like 1 round on my card..... Hopefully he can bounce back.

 

Good fight for Muriqi, Woods is on a down spiral as of late, his loss to Tarver took something from him mentally.

I'm going with the upset, Muriqi by close decision.. perhaps SD/MD.

 

Can't be their title eliminator, it is for position #2 at best.

The winner of Cloud vs Gonzalez is the mandatory

If the Woods of the Tarver fight shows up again, then Muriqi should win. Woods pretty much announced his retirement after the fight and admitted he doesn't have much passion for boxing anymore. However, I think he will come into this fight more motivated, simply because he will be fighting in front of his hometown fans.

 

Then again Tarver fought alot better against Woods than against Muriqi

 

I wouldn't say "a lot", but he did fight significantly better. Woods fought a lot worse than he could have though. It was pretty clear he was unmotivated and didn't take the fight very seriously.

 

I was hoping Woods would retire. His days competing seriously against A-fighters are over, so hopefully this will serve as a farewell fight and he'll sign off.

I have a lot of respect for Woods, but he looked the part of a shot fighter against Tarver. Without his fire, he has very little to offer anyone at the top of the division.
