I bought tickets today. I'll be there (for the first time in my live in the USA). I'll make vacation and as the highlight I'll go to Tarver/Jones III with my Dad.
I really hope that Jones will win this time. I predict a Decision victory for Roy if he can avoid Tarver's left hand.
Who of you will be also live in the St. Pete Times Forum? And who do you think will win the bout?
tarver and johnson are good fighters but not outstanding.. jones has fought better fighters. had jones fought tarver and johnson in his prime, the haters would be listing tarver and johnson as nobodies and criticizing roy jones for fighting them. how ironic!
And Tarver isn't? I am tired of Tarver being viewed as a heartless fighter. Antonio Tarver has to proove to people like you that he's one of the all-time greats. He is going to whip Roy.
Tarver knows if he loses this fight his career will be tarnished forever.
This fight reminds me a lot of Hagler vs Sugar Ray(only light heavyweight)
That's your opinion and you are entitled to it. Tarver is a great fighter. Roy is just that much better. Bringing back Sr. is going to take Jr. back to his roots. Roy wants it more than he lets on.
...I still say Roy should have retired already and Tarver will send him there in this fight. I may very well go to this fight and will be checking ticket prices in the next couple of days. One of my neighbors who is also a boxing fan wants to go too.
In my opinion, the only way Tarver can knock Roy out is if he lands a huge shot.
In my opinion, a knock out will only happen late if Roy fades down the stretch.

Roy will have to whup TArver, he can do it too, he just really has to want it, he has to restore his legacy, he has to k.o tarver and take back what is rightfully his, and then k.o glencoff johnson and then just retire.
Jones is hungrier than anyone knows. Wait and see what happens...
