bad style for tarver

Tarver did not look quite like his normal self. He was a bit slower, and he definitely fatiqued faster just like roy did when Roy came down inw eight, although it wasn't as obvious in Tarver's case.

i dont how you guys see it but tarver looked just the way he always looked fighting, defending or attacking, and that just wouldnt fly with a seasoned boxer like BHop, just look at all his fights throw a puch at him and he just turtle shells, time him on his way out of the shell and he wont throw a damn thing all night.

Hops is a bad style for Tarver, and at the same time it is obvious that Tarver is not prepared to deal with highly skilled fighters when they are well prepared (and fully hydrated). Tarver had problems dealing with Roy's speed every time, and Hops defense and speed also got to him. He is a B level fighter. His main refuge is his height, stance, and power...not really his skills. And that one lucky shot he landed with his eyes closed...

DiegoFuego I also predicted Hop would "dig in that ass" Just so yall all know. I do think the weight played a factor,but I don't want to give Tarvers Bitch ass an excuse, just like "any excuses tonight Roy". Even know Tarvers Bitch ass tried to weisel it in as an excuse. He needs to call Roy an Apologize if thats the case, for talkin so much shit. Not as easy a u thought Milk Dud !

do you think that tarver was damaged with the weight issues

anyone else notice how many fukin times Buddy McGirt had to tell Tarver to wake up and pay attention ! Clearly ignoring Buddy's instructions to THROW THE DAM JAB ! Had he thrown a jab he might have been able to land something but he was too focused on landing one BIG PUNCH and in the process got picked apart repeatedly. Props to HOPKINS, every time he gets written off in a fight he steps up and proves everyone wrong.

Hopkins is just a different breed. The way he beat Tarver last night was insane. Nobody predicted that other than JuicyJuice. I didn't consider it an upset that Hopkins won, but the way he won was out of this world. I think Tarver spent his months before the fight fighting the scales instead of training to fight the opponent. Not saying he would have won, but he looked like shit last night.

How come whenever somebody loses the "fans" rate him as a b-grade boxer? Lacy all of a sudden is only considered an unskilled puncher, Tarver is a never has been ... Both these guys I mentioned are world-class fighters. It's only that there always is someone who is just better.

hopkins took a deadly trinidad and made him look like a toy

Bhops will always be a bad style match up against anybody. :) Tarver is not that bad, Bhops simply made him look bad. Correct-amundo. People seldomly look good against Hops because of his fighting style and ability to impliment a game plan in the ring. That's half the reason I want to see Taylor vs Winky so much. I want to see what Taylor can do against an opponent who is still defense minded but not quite the counterpuncher Hop is. But I digress.

part of the reason he dominated and part of the reason he did good against jones was bad style match up and good style match up, tarvers not as bad as you think, plus b hop is better No one said Tarver was a bum, but he is not A-List like he considers himself. He is now and forever a B-List fighter at best.
