    Johnson-Tarver II

    Who do u think will win this fight and who do u think won the first one...

    I give the first fight to Johnson because Tarver was fighting to much with the amateur style, he outlanded Johnson but they were all amateur punches, like pitty pats, Johnson landed the power punches....but IMO Tarver has the skills to easily beat Johnson the professional way...

    Tarver showed he could easily outbox and counter Johnson, but he wasnt putting anything on his shots, but got the skills..

    If Tarver could fight the way he did in the first fight except add some power punches, then he could knock out Johnson in less than 8 rounds IMO

    I think they are somewhat equal in ability but I like Johnson more and hope he wins. I hope whoever wins this fight challenges Tiozzo, for he holds the Linear Light heavyweight title, even though nobody seems care anymore about who is Linear Champion. He holds the linear Lt. heavyweight title in my mind anyway. Not to mention WBC belt.

      I thought Tarver edged out a victory but I believe that he didn't take Johnson too serious and it showed with his poor stamina. Tarver does have the skills to beat Johnson convincingly and I think if he comes in better prepared he could do just that.

      Tarver by decision in the rematch.

        after watching the first one i thought johnson won with ring generalship and harder puncehs landed but i could see tarver winning that fight. i think tarver wins part two setting up a trilogy.

          Tarver won the fight and will KO Johnson by 5 in a rematch.

            He would;ve won the fight if he put POWER on his punches and he could knock him out in less than 5 if he dont fight like a damn amateur like he did againt Johnson

              Good call, tarver fought like a good amateur but not a true champion vs. Johnson, he better drop all of that slap-boxing nonsense and get down to business in the rematch, I think he'll do Johnson just like he did Harding in their rematch: brutal, convincing KO

                As much as I don't like Tarver I am picking him in the rematch. I think Tarver will come out sharp and agressive, my prediction is Tarver TKO7.

                  well he was able to land like 8 punch combinations but all like slaps

                  if he could add some power he will be crazy
