I am suprised at how close the line is, seems like Tarver would win this easy. Glen Johnson clearly isn't that good, i don't htink his win over Roy Jones was a statement about how good Glen Johnson is but more of a statement about how poor Roy Jones was in that fight.

I see Tarver winning this very easily.

Soundtraveler and jpboxer of course. But ST has bet big on Johnson. 1M pts to be exact...See the Fantasy Betting section ...

ofcourse
on sat nite
theres gonna be a couple people picken him
theyll be picken him up off the canvas
he had enough to get by a faded roy jones
tarver is not faded
hes gonna be too strong for johnson

this is gonna end up being like Vitali-Williams
one old fighter beat and old fighter who use to be spectacular
now he gets a shot at the recognized king of his division
can anyone say bad match makin

Am still deciding on how many pts to bet on Tarver by KO

i really don't think any of them are good enough to be p4p....tarver just seems liek a power puncher ......that gets behind on points if a guy is agressive.........but i still like tarver by ko

I'm Glad This Fight Is On Hbo. At Least They Didn't Try To Make It A Pay Per View. I Think This Is One Of The Lamest Big Fights In Some Time. Johnson Is A Sub Par Fighter, And Tarver Has About As Much Like-ability As A Box Of Dirt. I Hope I Remember This One Is On, And Don't Forget About It While I'm Watching Saturday Night Live Or Someother ****.

I think Tarver wins but I don`t think Johnson totally out of it, i am not fully convinced about tarver, there is something about his attitude i don`t like. He seems too sure of himself at times. I pick Tarver on a late stoppage but i think it will be worth watcing.

I think johnson might have a shot...

tarver on points...

im rooting for glen i just hate tarver how he runs his mouth about beating a past his prime jones jr and says hes always been better than him and his the best boxer in the world, yeah my A$$ how PPV's has he sold hahaha

glen via UD

Tarver landed one lucky punch against an already faded Roy Jones Jr.What people dont mention is the other 13 rounds those two fought,in which RJ won the majority of them.Glen Johnson arguably won 6 out of 8 Rounds before putting RJ away in the 9th.Everytime a Superstar figher gets KTFO by a so called "Journeyman",its always because the superstar fighter was already gone to begin with,which automaticly discredits the so called "Journeyman".

Toney said it best, "Johnson pressured Roy the whole fight. I've always said pressure is the key to beating Roy. Glen never stopped until he ripped Roy's heart out."


Glen by easy UD.

i dont know aobut an easy one but i got 2 million on johnson, he will win. i would laugh if it were a draw and i betted, 22 to 1 are pretty good odds :D

yeah there pretty good odds of not happening :)

come on glen..beat this one hit magic man...makes a great x-mas gift

I'm thinking this fight is a mismatch. I dont think Johnson is in the same league as Tarver. It would be tight if Johnson won but I dont see it happening. Tarver by KO in 4.

and since when was tarver a league above everyone?

Tarver has lost only twice: to Eric Harding, by UD, when he was floored in the 11th in year 2000 in Biloxi, MS and to Roy Jones, Jr., in a fight that many say, Tarver lost instead of Roy having won.

Tarver has avenged both losses. Decisively. He TKOd Harding in the 5th round in their return match held at the Canseco Field House in Indy some two years after their first meeting. And of course, he gave Roy the latter's first ever KO when they met a second time.

Much has been said about Johnson having often been robbed in fights against such foes as Syd Vanderpool, Sven Otke, Omar Sheika, Julio Cesar Gonzalez, Daniel Judah (who was quoted in a post-fight interview as having said, "I thought I lost!" It was a draw.)... But then, none of those guys are Tarver!

Glen, it must be noted, won against Eric Harding-- one of only two guys who beat Tarver-- by UD(12) in a fight held at Jimmy's Bronx Cafe' in NY.

Tarver is a southpaw. And there was a truism that used to be observed closely by handlers of champs: "Never allow your orthodox fighter to face a lefty, unless you have to."

I'll take Tarver. I've plunked 30,000 points for him. Hope I won't be having crow for snacks on Saturday night! :o :D

Harding wasn't even a powerpuncher and was still able to floor Tarver and break his jaw in the process.This was a #1 contender match and Tarver didn't even fight like he wanted it.Thats why I believe Tarvers heart is a big question mark.When things get tough against Johnson on Saturday night,we'l see if he truly is in a League above the rest.

Respect yer loyalty to Johnson ad I hope its a competitive fight, but Im going w/the better fighter and thats Tarver.Late TKO :cool:

how many points do you have?

I will match whatever you have and bet you Tarver wins straight up

nah, i'm not much of a gambler... besides my gut tells me tarver wins because he's the bigger puncher, but i'd like to see johnson beat his ass. tarver's spent this year partyin since he forced jones to lean back, i think that ring rust will give johnson more chances. even though tarver's problly gonna win, i think johnson will really pound his body for the early rounds

at the pace you're going...I bet you will dude :cool: :D

Do I need to check the fantasy bet section? :confused:
Maybe somebody took me up on my offer to bet 1 million that Tarver wins.
I like Glen as much as the next guy, just believe that the Roy he beat was already softened up by "Milk Dud" Tarver big time!

someone gimme 4-1 odds and ill take Johnson for 200K. :D

i dont know about that johnson is not a push over while i do see tarver
winning this fight i wont be suprised if johnson gives him one tough fight

Tarver vs Johnson, who gives a fck, de verda, everybody countin Roy Jones out like he's done for over 2 lossess, the man dominated his ring for years and now cuz of 2 lossess he's out, nah the man jus got beat because his mistakes finally caught up to him, he let his habits go on 2 long witout correcting them or even payin them any mind because he was winning and gettin away with it because of his skill and speed, if this man was to honestly take a good look at himself technically, work to drop his habits, basically start from scratch where he left off as an amatuer, he will catch his second win and second reign at the top, but he has to do it for himself, its bout heart, and even he said he doesnt have the drive anymore, so if nething it was himself that beat him worse than those 2, if he doesnt hav it no more, then yes he is done and he should retire, because that drive is everything in boxing. Someone had to say it, and i said it, eventho i got off topic, it had to be said. Now those 2, i could care less,i usually like 2 see skill, but for these 2, i jus wanna see sum1 get knocked da fck out

i think tarver will win but i hope i'm wrong cos i think he's one of the most arrogant douchebags in the sport. i'll walk round with the biggest smile on my face if johnson wins, he's one of the nicest, most respectful men in boxing and i'll be rooting for him saturday.

Johnson beat a RJJ who didn't fight back.Tarver will and shall KO his azz!

it's no lock, but i'm favoring tarver by quite a bit...

Johnson was stopped by Hopkins who isn't known for his bang.Tarver is gonna stun and punish him.

i really don't think any of them are good enough to be p4p....tarver just seems liek a power puncher ......that gets behind on points if a guy is agressive.........but i still like tarver by ko
Who is that in the picture with Zab Judah?

Johnson was stopped by Hopkins who isn't known for his bang.Tarver is gonna stun and punish him.

Like Tito and DLH,Johnson did get stopped in that fight,but the difference is that Johnson never went down. BTW, that was 7yrs ago,when B-Hop was actually in his Prime.

Harding isn't known for his bang either and was able to KD Tarver and break Tarvers Jaw.Johnsons gonna expose Tarvers weak heart and Jaw :D

i am picking glen due to his experience, humbleness, and hard work attitude......he will see it through.

All I know is Glen Johnson will be in shape, ready to fight, and give it %100. I cannot promise the same thing about Tarver.

ofcourse
