    Prediction for Tarver/Johnson...

    ... it will go to points. Tarver has knock-out power but it won't emerge. However, he will get the decision, to the boos of the crowd. Johnson's higher workrate will convince many that he should have won.

    Worth a bet - Ray Olivera vs. Ricky Hatton, Williams vs. Big Klit, both next Saturday.

      I have a feeling Tarver will win but all that time partying could leave the door open for Johnson.

          I think Tarver will be a bit rusty because he's only fought one and a half rounds this year and plus he sometimes has trouble making the 175pound limit.Glen Johnson on the other hand has fought and beat two of the top Lt.Heavyweights in Clinton Wood and Roy Jones Jr for a total of twenty one rounds,so you know he'l be ready and in shape for this fight.I think Glen Johnson will beat Tarver to the head and body and break Tarver down alot like Harding did and win by late round stoppage.

          Glen Johnson by Late Round TKO

            Johnson will outwork a Tarver who is overcondfident and will take too long to get untracked. Tarver just plain won't throw enough punches.

              I think Tarver will TKO or knock Johnson out. Johnson has a lot of heart and is a good pressure fighter but it wont be enough for Tarver's nasty power and southpaw stance. It will be a late KO or stoppage.

                    I think Tarver will win a decision after he shakes off the rust.
