Clinton Woods to face the “Magic Man” Antonio Tarver

[Gareth Ivanovic]

Would be nice if those two fights were on the same card.

[Mr. Ryan]

Its funny because 10 mins ago i just finished watching johnson woods 1 and i had johnson up by 3 rounds I think johnson should have won all 3 of those fights win or lose i would like to see johnson retire now a win against dawson would be a great way to end.
woods has to much for tarver who imo should retire.

Dawson gets Johnson inside of 8 rounds, Johnson has trouble with tall jabbers. Woods has been in with better fighters recently, which I think gives him an edge.

All I got to say is, I'm glad Woods is facing Tarver and not Jeff Lacy!...

[Tyson Jones]

I'll take woods.

Winner of Dawson/Johson faces winner of Tarver/Woods LET'S MAKE THIS **** HAPPEN!

The winner of the Dawson/Johnson matchup has to face the winner of a WBC LHW interim matchup between Adrian Diaconu (who's been dying for a title shot) and some other fighter.

if Johnson can beat Chad, and then we have unification time!

That's a big IF.

Tarver has been supposed to take a number of big matches since Hopkins, but basically seems to be just looking to keep his name in the mix without taking any risks.

Talks with Dawson's people seemed to be starting off, but then Tarver just dismissed it totally.

A fight with Danny Green seemed signed & delivered, but Tarver never came through.


Hope it happens, because I think it is a pretty decent matchup that gets both the winner for some big money, but will believe it's set when Tarver actually steps in the ring.

[The Hammer]

Great news! Another good matchup to look forward to.

Johnson, Diaconu, and Tarver. Not to bad of a year for the young Dawson.

Big Mistake by woods i think, he's not in the same league as tarver.

Woods isn't going to get any better than he is now, and Tarver can't have too much more left. I think there is more upside for Woods in this fight than the opposite. He can get real old waiting around for Jones or Calzaghe, and a win over Tarver gives him the leverage to make those type of fights actually happen.

Funny,i think Clinton could beat Tarver,but i think Chad Dawson would beat Woods the same way Roy did

lol, theres no way Dawson beats Clinton the way Roy did. that was an ass beating there, and Id be amazed if I saw something like that out of Dawson.

I really like this matchup. good choice! If Dawson-Johnson and Clinton-Tarver are on the same card, then thats shaping up to be a VERY meaningful card. Im quite excited.
