Woods workrate, stamina & chin carries him through this in an exciting fight to the surprise of the watching fans. Typical 'crossroads' fight.
Woods won't allow it to be boring , he'll either force Tarver into having a high workrate and punch output(which I'm not sure he can sustain) or Tarver will get broken down . Tarver is fading and for me won't have enough for Woods anymore . Close fight until Woods wears him down , Woods Tko 11 .
Woods is rarely in a boring fight, he always brings heat. At this stage in his career, I dont think Tarver could handle that.
I don't know. Tarver's punch output is pretty weak. Of course he can produce a knockout but Woods' chin is pretty solid and he will be the more active man and he will win this fight on points.
Woods is a solid world class operator, he shouldnt be dismissed for his TKO stoppage against a PRIME Roy Jones Jr. Im pretty sure that version of Jones knocks Tarver the **** out! Woods doesnt do anything wrong, he has learned his trade very well, come back from losses and has plenty of experience on a very good level, he fought some top europeans before making the move to World level and has done well by winning and defending the IBF title. Tarver is way past his best and i think Woods will capatalise with a decision win. it will be a comfortable UD imo aswel.
Tarver is a good actor. This would be a great stuff in 'Rocky in the UK' or 'Rocky: The Mason Dixxon Series'. But I like this big fake stuff. You gotta see it. :thumbsup [YT]stOFhQAZZ_o[/YT]
Oh I don't think it's gonna be a stoppage. No one can stop Tarver. But on points I think Woods has the better chance.
