There's an article "by" Joe C. in this month's Ring Mag and he litterally made me laugh out loud. He said Tarver was floored by Stallone in the making of Balboa, and not just for the cameras. But Rocky dropped him hard with a body shot. Calz words: "and Rocky is like 61 years old!!"
Agreed, there is alot of hate for Tarver on this boards for some reason, I guess the combination of him owning Jones and his goofy personality is too much for them. Tarver has been in the ring with the best and won more times than not, Woods hasnt. Against the very top guys he doesnt come through, Tarvers skill has went over the last couple years, but his power is still intact, as well as his strong jab, I havent seen Woods on TV in awhile, but he's nothing special from what I saw, Tarver will get him out of there in the middle rounds, I'm guessing the 7th round.
Would be great to see Woods do the business, really pleased he's got so far, but I fear Tarver will prevail in the later stages.
This coming from a guy that sports a Duddy ko7 Pavlik. Tarver is better then Woods. Woods really lost three times to Johnson. Woods as a fighter I like, he is all heart and soul, but he isnt very good. He outworks alot of guys. And will likely outwork Tarver. But if Tarver wants to fight he will win EASY.
:good Nice to see someone taking over for Dipper. I don't like Tarver either, but Woods is going to have to summon the fight of his life to not just win, but win convincingly enough to get the nod in Florida. This "Woods by KO" talk is nonsense. The Magic Dud hasn't deteriorated that badly.
