View Full Version : Tarver vs. Johnson II
Tarver is my dad 04-08-2005, 10:56 PM Its official, they will meet at June 18 at FedExForum. Who will win and why?
I thought Tarver won the first fight barely, but it was a very close fight, and glen johnson got the win. I think in the second fight, Tarver will be more aggressive and come out strong, but I also will think Johnson will be agressive too. My dad by late TKO.
jpboxer3 04-08-2005, 11:03 PM Glen Johnson had less than three months to prepare for the fight against Tarver the first time around,and he still managed to hold his own while winning a close decision.Now that Johnson has had plenty of time to mentally and physically prepare for Tarver,I think he'l outwork Tarver from start to finish.
Johnson by TKO Late or UD

I agree. Tarver wasn't liking it in the later stages of the 1st fight.
This time GJ will have more stamina and will be busier.
FrankJack 04-09-2005, 12:01 AM Johnson's gonna have to come into this fight with more stamina than he did in the last. He was in MUCH better shape when he fought Roy. Didn't he start pushing his punches before the 9th and grunting EXTRA hard on each throw? Yeah, he'll def. have to come in in better condition to keep the pressure on Tarver. Though, in the last fight I had Tarver winning barely, he was able to land some pitty pat combinations, but I think if he had put power behind those combinations the would've turned out different.
I want Glen to win this, cus I like the guy. But I don't see him winning this. But then again, he might, he works a hell of a lot harder than Antonio, who I think is a lazy fighter from what I've seen thus far.

:rofl: Is this kid serious?
I scored the first fight a draw, but if anyone deserved that fight it was Johnson. I hope he wins this next one big, i think he will if Tarver fights like he did in the first one

MlLkMan 04-09-2005, 01:55 AM Tarver by decision
Komandos 04-09-2005, 06:10 AM Ho now Roj back or no?
The Troll 04-09-2005, 06:32 AM I think Tarver might be a slight favorite in this fight but I hope Glen Johnson wins.
Komandos 04-09-2005, 06:46 AM I thing Glen Johnson wins,Jirov many years ago wins Tarwer
Komandos 04-09-2005, 06:47 AM And Tarwer wins Roj Jr
Truth 04-09-2005, 09:58 AM I don't like Tarver because he ended RJ's career but I think he will win this time around by a brutal KO. I think Tarver will come in trying to make a big statement and will knockout Glenn Johnson early.
tysonortiz 04-12-2005, 02:35 AM It a shame Jones didnt retire after the ruiz fight. He just doesnt have it nemore.
Journeyman 04-12-2005, 02:44 AM I would personally love to see Roy jones come back with great hunger. Then he should be able to get his revenge against Tarver and Johnson in order to Redeem his legacy. As far as the Tarver vs. Johnson rematch...Tarver by a late round tko.
The Troll 04-12-2005, 08:16 AM I think Tarver will probably win a narrow UD but I hope Johnson wins. If Tarver looses he should go up to cruiserweight or heavyweight and the winner of this fight should look for a unification bout with Fabrice Tiozzo or Clinton Woods.
joffo 04-12-2005, 08:18 AM tarver looked absolutely terrible in the johnson fight and did next to nothing in the later stages of the fight, he went alright against roy but was pretty lucky to get that ko i reckon,it's a shame that after all that bad mouthing roy for not giving mandatory challengers there due shot he turns around and does exactly the same thing to paul briggs,
oh well he got what he deserved and lost his belt and now briggs is fighting adamek for it soon
czars_salad 04-12-2005, 08:20 AM whoever wins, this fight sucks
GROCERYGETTERS 04-12-2005, 06:50 PM Johnson outworks Tarver to a close decision again. Tarver looked hurt at times during the fight and Johnson isn't necessarily a power puncher but he will totally frustrate Tarver with his work rate again.
akins12732 04-12-2005, 06:54 PM tarver by UD
Konstantin 04-12-2005, 08:20 PM IDK i thought glenn looked hurt a couple times in the last rounds as well as being really tired... I think Tarver will win
BadMagick 04-12-2005, 08:25 PM Tarver is overrated, in my opinion, and so is Johnson. The only reason anyone knows their names is because they KO'ed Roy's shadow. If Roy had won the fight against Tarver the second time, Johnson would still be a nobody, and Tarver would be forgotten.
At any rate, I didn't see the first fight, and kinda hope the Tarver wins, just because I don't like Johnson.
EDIT: Who am I kidding? I don't like either of them. I hope it's a draw.
Soundtraveler 04-13-2005, 04:29 AM The 1st fight was a good one, and I look for a repeat performance by both fighters in this one, I am picking Johnson to once again outwork Tarver and pull out a close decision.
So who is going to come down to Memphis for the show?!
