Not that it makes any difference at all, but Tarvers glove doesn't touch the canvas..

    Against B-Hop. I watched the replay and im not saying this because im a Tarver fan because im not nor a Hopkins hater. Its just that i never realized it till today. if you watch very closely it ALMOST touches the ground but he just stumbles and gets up. Take a close look at 1:39. Just wanted to say this anyway hope everybody enjoys the fight tomorrow:good

    Yeah ... who the **** really cares, whether the glove touched the canvas or not?

    I know....it was a missed call. Didn't matter, as Hopkins won 11 to 12 rounds anyway.

    Harding legitimately dropped Tarver though.

    Tarver's glove was blocked by the clock icon and could not be seen by the camera angles in the replay after the round. Is there another camera angle/replay? Because we couldn't see it. It looks like it just brushed - but we didn't see it all.

    Tarver didn't protest the call so my guess is his glove did touch the canvas.

    If you rewatch the live sequence you can see that his glove didn't really touch the canvas BUT...what difference does it make?Bernard schooled him
