This could end up being a bad fight for Tarver,Johnson is a hungry fighter and will try to out work Tarver. I wonder if were in store for a upset this Saturday night, I am picking Johnson by MD.

Johnson will surley come to dance, but I think Tarver will be just to good for him. I'm thinking it could be a pretty good fight though.

Johnson will put up a good fight but Tarver's overall skills will be better at the end of the night.

It should be a good fight...the winner could have the opportunity of killing Roy Jones Jr. again since he's calling the winner out.

if johnson stays inside, and on tarvers chest, he has a real good chance of getting the decision. but if he stays out in tarvers range, that big left hand is going to close the show.... i'm thinking johnsons gonna be all over tarver and tarver is going to have to change his game plan, and dig down to pull this one out....i'm going with johnson UD....

Are you saying that two judges are going to give the victory to Johnson and one is going to have it a draw?

Ok, I will play.

Tarver wears down Johnson and the fight is stopped in the 8th round, 2:00 in, with the ref stepping in and then Johnson gets mad.

LMFAO!Thats exactly what happened in Glen Johnsons fight against Bernard Hopkins back in 1997 but I think it was in the 10th or 11th round when the ref finally stepped in to stop the fight.I think Johnsons a better fighter now and he's defiently a more polished fighter now than when he fought B-Hop 7yrs ago.I think Glecoffes experience and ringsmarts will pay off against Tarver.I say Glen wins by UD

BTW,Johnson never went down in his fight against a primed Hopkins.DLH got Kayoed by a B-Hop bodyshot,Johnson got hit with way more of those bodyshots and never went down.

I think Tarver wins this one, he seemed the more accurate/crisper puncher against Roy.

May I ask how you base this "more accurate/crisper" comment from. Tarver never landed more than 5 punches in the second fight and it was just a one punch KO. To me Tarver is just way overrated. He couldn't KO Griffin and he looked horrible against Harding until he landed one good punch and got the stoppage. I am not going to be impressed with Tarver until he fights someone that is a good fighter besides RJJ. He did lose to RJJ the first fight and got his KO the 2nd time but their is no other big names on his record for people to say he is great or even above average. All he has done is beat fighters that RJJ had already beaten.

I agree that Tarver is way overrated. Im not saying he is great. But im basing it on the first fight he had with Roy it was clear he was scared but he was landing the more flush shots everytime he tried than Johnson did against roy in his fight.

tarver doesnt like people crowding his space, hes much more comfortable against people who try to out box him. johnson is definately going to give him fits once he gets in close but tarvers one punch ko power just might save his ass again. that left is just too devastating for me to pick against

i agree with you there, tarver is the cleaner fighter

Tarver will win this fight by a KO. Johnson takes too many punches flush. He was almost out on his feet against Jones in round five of their fight. I see Tarver taking him out if he gets a clean opening. This will be a fight I've been looking forward to since Johnson beat Jones. It will be good.

Clearly Tarver's the favorite going into this fight.When Johnson is done beating Tarver Saturday night,what excuses will you all make to not give Johnson the credit he deserves?

4days away
:D

Hopkins says Johnson isn't a hard hitter. I don't think he can hurt Antonio Tarver enough to take full control of the fight, if he doesn't knock Antonio Tarver out, Antonio Tarver will knock him out or win it on the cards..

Johnson will surley come to dance, but I think Tarver will be just to good for him. I'm thinking it could be a pretty good fight though.

I agree on that one although I want to see Johnson win!

Tarver will beat him decisively.....either by UD or late round stoppage.


Johnson is a journeyman with one decent fight under his belt. He beat RJJ while RJJ wasn't even letting his hands go. Johnson is an average fighter at best....and Tarver is better than people give him credit for. He does talk alot......that's why people root against him. He'll beat RJJ again too.

I agree Tarver wins this fight but Johnson was in no way almost out on his feet against Jones.

I pick Tarver by decision. Tarver is the more proven out of the two and at this point, that is all I can use as my basis for the fight.

BTW,Johnson never went down in his fight against a primed Hopkins.DLH got Kayoed by a B-Hop bodyshot,Johnson got hit with way more of those bodyshots and never went down.

thats cause johnson is a hell of alot bigger that DLH.

i cant call it. jhonson couldnt ko clinton woods in both fights. i think it will be a very intresting fight, and it could go either way.

People called Johnson a journeyman fighter even before the RJJ fight and look what the Journeyman did to Roy Jones :eek: .You must not know a whole lot about Johnson because he has more than one decent fight under his belt.I give Tarver alot of credit but Johnson will be on him the entire fight and how many Top notch pressure fighters has Tarver faced in his career?I think thats when Johnsons edge in experience will play a big factor because he's fought alot of southpaws in his career and has had success against them more often than not.


Without a doubt,this will be a interesting fight,regardless.Someone said the winner of this contest will be a leading Candidate for Fighter of the Year,and i'd have to agree with them on that.

ive always respected johnson. he always seems to come up against crooked judges, so the only way he can control his destiny is to knockout fighter. he should have got the win against clinton woods in the first fight, but got robbed. i wouldnt be suprised if he won by kayo. its a tough fight to call

I agree Tarver wins this fight but Johnson was in no way almost out on his feet against Jones.

Out on his feet was probably the wrong choice of words, I meant stunned or wobbled... The point I was trying to make is that Johnson was hurt but didn't go down.

Tarver is definitely the bigger puncher, Johnson can only win by outworking Tarver, if he can swarm Tarver and throw a lot more punches without eating too many of Magic's left hands, he could squeak out a decision. i think Tarver is overrated and i'd love to see Johnson win, but i can see tarver taking this one. Tarver will always be the first man to force a washed up Roy Jones to lean back, a prime RJJ destroys Tarver in one round like Montell Griffin.

yeah this fights a bit hard to call so ill just say it will be a double KO

i think tarver wins a UD and a pretty easy one at that....

i hope tarver gets KTFO...i hope glen can do it..but it looks like it would be a hard fight for him to win..but i hope he can do it...it would be a great x-mas gift

i think tarver wins a UD and a pretty easy one at that....
I agree, but feel it will be by a KO, Johnson can't use that head-first style against a solid counterpuncher like Tarver, remember where you heard it first, but this fight may not get past the 3rd or 4th round, tarver will drop the Road Warrior like a sack of potatoes and retain the light heavyweight crown (Ring Mag belt on the line - only one that counts!), while locking up fighter of the year status.

It's going to be very hard for Johnson to duplicate the success he had with Roy, against Tarver.

Johnson was able to get up into Roy's chest because Roy has a habit of retreating to the ropes. He USED to have the reflexes to avoid shots & fire back his own.

Tarver is not going to go back to the ropes. He'll use his range to keep Glen at a distance & catch him out there.

Tarver will win a fairly easy decision.

If Glenn Johnson attacks Tarver the same way he did Jones then Tarver will land a bomb just like he did against Harding...for those of you who expect Johnson to pressure, pressure pressure-I think you will be dissappointed...I hope your right because then it would be a great fight but Johnson will have to show some respect in this fight other wise he's going to sleep.

For the record I hope Glenn Johnson kicks the **** out of Tarver!!!!

This could end up being a bad fight for Tarver,Johnson is a hungry fighter and will try to out work Tarver. I wonder if were in store for a upset this Saturday night, I am picking Johnson by MD.

if u would like to bet on that i'll put 100k on tarver

Marco ahead of Pacquiao on your p4p list? :eek: LMAO!


After Johnson shuts down Tarver Saturday night,most of you will be looking for reasons to discredit Glencoffes performance.I can already hear it now,"TARVERS 36,DID HE GET OLD OVER NIGHT?"Too funny.
