Antonio Tarver

[Run]

okay. I have not heard the magic man discussed lately. Why, I dont know. This guy is dangerous, and mark my words. He will completely outclass Glen Johnson in their next fight. I have said it once, and will say it again. He is the best fighter between 170 and HW and will completely demolish his opposition. His southpaw style, is nothing to brag about....yes. He had a mediocre performance against RJJ in their first outing....yes. I dont like him personally, but you can not take away from the fact that he is a ruthless machine, who is going to get his way. Regardless. Who do you think will win the rematch with Johnson, and why.

Because I actually foresee Tarver stopping Glen via T.K.O. Lets hear the "no way". That was what everyone was saying before the second RJJ fight.

I think Tarver will try harder this time and win by UD.

Tarver might get a UD againt Glenn but I don't see a tko stoppage.

In their first match I think they both came in saying they were ready but toward the middle of the fight from what I saw, I think they both might have taken each other a bit lightly.

Glenn was screaming to just his punches out there, while Tarver didn't look so hot either. I think he even looked a bit scared.

I think Tarver's win over RJJ gives him a litte bit more than the win Glenn got, RJJ had already been totally ktfo by Tarver and when Roy stepped in with Glenn he looked like he didn't want to be there and I think that was due to Tarver.

Tarver should have won that last match imo, I was walking out of the room because I thought they would give it to him, when they said it was Glenn I was a bit shocked.

In the end I don't think Glenn has the power to stop Tarver, I think he is going to come into this fight with better conditioning than he had last time, BUT, I think Tarver just took Glenn a bit too lightly last time. I think we should look out for him to be more focused and on the money, I like Glenn and I hope he pulls it off, but I am gonna say Tarver wins UD

Glen is going to get knocked out this time around. Tarver had him hurt the first time, and he's going to finish the job. Antonio Tarver fought him all wrong the first time. He tried to win the fight on the score cards, but in their next fight, he's going to knock him out.

Antonio Tarver is a **** head, why the hell can't he get a fight right the first time it always has to be the second time around.

He got the **** beat out of him by Eric Harding, fought him again and was getting his ass kicked and then hit him with a one punch bomb that not only ended the fight but basically ended HArding's career as a title contender.

He fights Roy and pisses the fight away by going on vacation for 5 rounds and he can't understand why he didn't get the decision.
Second time around he does absolutely nothing in the first and then gets the homerun in the second.

Damn against Glenn he again takes off way too many rounds and cannot back up all of the talk leading up to the fight...he was clearly the better fighter but he was also the lazyier fighter...

He will beat Johnson but who cares...Tarver is a lazy fighter and expect more of the same once he gets by GJ...He will lose his next fight post GJ on account of being a lazy dumbass.

For those who thought that judges didn't get the decision right against Johnson...the problem is that once you start taking rounds off judges can kill you. I noticed this again recently in the Mormeck - Braithwaite fight. Mormeck was killing him but then he took the last three rounds off and it came close to costing him the decision. One of the judges even had it as a draw, minus the points taken off from Braithwaite for the knockdown and the holding.

It might not seem right but it seems that as soon as you start taking it easy it's tough to win rounds again. De La Hoya suffered the same thing against Trinidad. Might not seem right, but at least it's a good lesson to not get lazy.

I have to agree with scap a lil. WTF is with him having to take 2 attempts to beat fighters!? He could have beat Glenn the first time but was to lazy. I think he will KO/TKO him this time around. At the very least a UD.

I think its more like him taking a while to figure someone out. The reason he took so many rounds off, it the first RJJ fight was because he was looking for the big shot. If you noticed, in the second fight he was extending the jab better and the shot the left hand. Glen Johnson will be no different I think. The fight will lull for a few rounds, then Tarver will figure him out and punish him. I think, if he does get past Johnson, he should challenge Mormeck for the cruiserweight title. He would outclass him with his superior boxing ability, and I dont think adding 20 lbs for the weigh in would be that much trouble....because he has a heavyweight's frame. Johnson and Mormeck have rock solid chins...yes. I dont think they would necessarily hold up against Tarver though.

Good point and Tarver is a classic example of a guy who will let the refs get him because the guy can't fight a complete fight.

Damn, Tarver - Mormeck could be a good one. Thing is Mormeck has like no defence so there's a chance it could end soon. Actually, sorry, he has two styles of defence: absorbing punches into his enourmous frame, and running away after he's up on points. He did look good with that jab in the later rounds, though, os if he worked from the outside more he might have a chance. Still, I say he goes after Tarver early because that's the kind of fighter he is...and then he gets pelted enough that he gets worn down in a hurry. Even Braithwaite was giving him trouble in the middle rounds when he was throwing rights to the body.

This is all dependent of Tarver actually working hard enough in the fight to win. As we've all said, that is a big if.
