Glen Johnson couldn't say it better

[restless_438]

taken from the boxingscene.com interview from a few days ago:

BoxingScene.com: No fighter would know better than you, since you fought both of them and beat both of them. In your opinion, who do you think is going to win Tarver-Jones 3?

Glen Johnson: I have Jones to win that fight, I give him a small edge. Jones has a lot to prove right now and he is going to take this fight extremely serious. If you take a look at the two fights between Jones and Antonio Tarver, Roy Jones won most of the rounds in those fights. You know that unless there is a knockout, you have to go with Roy Jones as the favorite to win a decision. Antonio Tarver don't win rounds against Roy Jones.
BoxingScene.com: Because of the back to back knockout losses which Roy Jones suffered against you and Antonio Tarver, some experts suggest that Roy may have a suspect chin. Do you think there is any truth to that theory?

Glen Johnson: I would like to think that Jones is no different than everybody else. There are a lot of people that get knocked out and come back from it. Lennox Lewis got knocked out a few times and came back to dominate the division. So I don't think he does.

i have the same opinion on the matter. i don't think tarver can win the fight unless it's by KO. plus i truely believe jones will be more than focused for the fight.

[ROY JONES II]

Agreed. Tarver Must Go For A Knockout Against Roy. Tarver Is Soft Around The Midsection So Body Shots Take A Huge Toll. If Roy Goes To The Body He Can Make Easy Work Of Tarver And Take Him Out Early. I Believe Tarver Will Be ****y And Go For The Knockout Setting Himself Up For An Early Knockout. Anyone That Thinks Roy Doesnt Have Power To Knock Tarver Out Has To Be Kidding Themselves. But I Think Roy Will Win This Fight By K.o Within 7 Rounds.

Thing is if Tarver doesnt knock Jones out early he wont knock him out at all...Fatigue will take over and Tarver will lose.

Lol dude Roy Jones is and always will be a superior fighter to Tarver..ALWAYS. Didn't you notice that Tarver started calling Rjj out when he was fighting at heavyweight...that was his only chance to beat him because of the tremendous muscle/speed that will be lost. Rjj is gonna TKO him, gonna be grrrrrrrrreat.

Explain your logic?

Roy is cautious and goes into defense mode for 4-5 rounds and let Tarver punch himself out and then as the fight goes into the second half and be more active. Roy will have his energy conserved and when Tarver gets tired Roy steps it up.

Roy can use his defense and pot shot Tarver for the first few rounds and still win half of them. It is in the late part of the fight that is crucial. Tarver WONT be able to hang with Jones late. Mind you Tarver fatigues to easy and he isnt an active fighter like Johnson was.

Roy Jones fans are annoying but they are no more annoying than Tyson or Marciano fans.
Tarver already beat Jones 2 times.You can say well Jonse is old now till you realize Tarver is just as old as Jones.Jones being ready to fight won't make a difference.Tarver knows he has the power to hurt Jones.He knows Jones isn't the same fighter he once was.Jones also knows this.But does that mean Jones has no chance to win?
Nope if Tarver comes in and thinks well since i knocked him out early once that he could again and just goes out throwing bombs then maybe he will tire himself out and Roy can come on strong and wear Tarver down and knock him out.And Tarver doesn't have the best chin either.I can't remember the guys name right now but he broke Tarvers jaw and almost knocked him out.This guy didn't have much power at all.Jones could catch Tarver and knock him out.
I don't like Tarver or Jones.Infact i can't stand either of them.They both have lost before.So they both know they can lose again.I just hope it's a good fight and if Jones is knocked out again i hope he isn't hurt.Not a fan but he hasn't done anything that bad besides run his mouth to be hurt.

Jones won the 1st fight by 2-3 rounds

[Zeroflip1]

Tarver will KTFO RJJ.

Jones won the 1st fight by 2-3 rounds

Indeed he did. It was up for grabs for a while, but Roy ****** it up and won the last few rounds. Gotta be blind to say otherwise.
