Woods v Tarver

[number6]

Who is the betting fav. in this one?

[pfcwintergreen]

Tarver is favored to the very smallest degree...you'll basically get the same odds for both fighters, and some books have it even.

I put some money on Woods, incidently.

Not exactly who this painter is, but I like her stuff.

Btw, you thinking of betting on Tarver/Woods? If so, you do you have?

Im finding this a hard fight to call, Woods has a good workrate and Traver should be the classier boxer.

Its goin on points wich ever way it unfolds

[pfcwintergreen]

Yeah, I agree..its going to be a decision. And Tarver is ultimately the better boxer in terms of skills.

Its a hard one to call, but I'm going with Woods because:
a) Tarver has looked pretty listless lately, and he has been fighting only hand picked/low rated opponents (probably because he has lost confidence in his abilities. I've lost confidence in him as well.)
b)Woods has been on a tear lately, and he looks better than he ever has
c)Woods has a good chin, and is willing to take punishment
D)I saw the a somewhat recent fight between Woods and Rico Hoye, a lengthy and tall outside kind of fighter. Woods appeared pretty adept at getting inside and smothering a taller man with a bigger reach and a good punch. Granted this guy was nowhere near Tarver's level.
E)Subjectively, I think Woods is hungrier. The apex of Tarver's career is always going to be K.O.ing Roy Jones, and Tarver is getting old. The apex of Wood's career could easily be beating Tarver, and I think he wants it.

But then again my picks havent been the greatest lately.

Thoughts?

If you don't count the fact that it's in Tarver's backyard.
