Was the Tarver v Johnson decision a robbery?

Sorry, but I thought it was a DRAW. Many rounds were very hard to score, e.g. round 4 or the last two rounds.

I think a draw would have been fair. I thought tarver did just enough to win but didnt really win convincingly.

i totally agree with u i think he shoulda had that fight, but i can understand the decision, i think im about 65% - 35% for tarver but thats how boxing goes, if u gotta take it 2 points u gotta make sure u got the points in the bag... backing off around the ring aint gonna get u points and he cant really complain, but still i think tarver did enough in there to take it

A draw I could have lived with. I'm just excited because I know we're going to see it again

Whenever I see Melvina Lathan is one of the judges, I expect a travesty.
Tarver won. Look at the Compubox numbers.

I thought that Tarver would have won. He lost the fight by not throwing at the right times. I gave Johnson the fight by 2 points.

I certainly don't think that the division is a great one, but I take my hat to Johnson for his clear dedication to the sport. Well done Glen....You deserve it!

(Now I gotta go & find the $M5 I lost to the bookies
