Jones V Tarver 1...Round by round analysis. Tell me your thoughts!!!!

[Dan...]

Are you watching a HBO version? I've never seen that copy, I only have the BBC version. And they thought Tarver was robbed, they were very vocal about it.

THey are idiots then. No way Tarver did enough to win more than 5 rounds.

You reckon? Those commentators had me convinced Tarver had won, lol. Been long time since I've seen this fight. You know how they tell you to turn the volume down on a fight so you're not influenced. Or maybe HBO convinced you Jones won...hehe.


Nah I'd like to see the HBO version sometime anyway, I try to get their broadcasts and replace the diff versions I have of fights.

i thought Jones won this fight clearly TBH

By about 2 rounds Tarver's work drops off in the middle rounds and Jones diggs deep in the Championship rounds to win

Yeah, i had the fight even after the tenth. and jones dug deep and won the championship rounds clearly

[Thread Stealer]

Tarver: 1, 2, 7, 8, 10
Jones: 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 11, 12

Jones 115-113

Jones lands his first big right hand lead about a min into the round. Tarver seemed content with just flicking his jab out there the entire round, only throwing his big left with about 10 secs to go in the round, which did in fact land. Jones was able to stay off the ropes, keep the fight in the middle of the ring and land his right to the body. He followed it up with a few straight rights, and missed with a looping left hook counter. Jones round.

10-9 Jones

29-28 Tarver

Keep in mind, that right hand to the body is seemingly bothering Tarver, look for it to open up some right leads to the head........

Tarver could never have won that fight, at most it was 5-6 rounds for tarver. the commentators just made it seem like tarver was robbed, because jones wasnt superman that night and his left eye swelled up for the first time in his career

[DanielTurcotte3]

Jones controlled this round throughout. Again Tarver didn't let his left hand go, as he was able to put Jones on the ropes in the last 30 secs, but Jones won the round by potshotting for the entire round. He was ladning clean power shots. Staying off the ropes, circling and firing his straight right hand the entire round. Tarver needs to pick up the pace and let the hands go!

10-9 Jones

38-38 Even

[Dan...]

Yeah, anyone who thinks Tarver won the first fight knows nothing about boxing.

[Dynamite Kid]

BBC had Tarver getting Robbed i dont know what fight they were watching
then again i did not think Mike Watson was robbed against Eubank 1st time around Watson did nothing for 5 rounds but people always get a distorted opinion when a fighter finishes strongly with the momentum of the fight going his way IE Hopkins v Taylor 1 ,Quartey v Dela Hoya

[The Next Champ]

see da problem was ppl were used to Jones being so dominate and flashy that for the first time he wasnt everyone though he lost. Lets face it Jones was never the same after that weight-drain 25lbs lol yea im sorry but its only the human body
