Was the Tarver v Johnson decision a robbery?

[Boxerdog]

What? ONE more??

It was a real close one. Whether it was a robbery or not, I don't think I'm qualified to say, but that's just how it is in boxing.

That's why I always say..

Once you go black, you'll never go back..

Listen to the corner between the 11th and 12th!

McGirt to Tarver "You need a Knockout"

Cueller to Johnson "Win this round and its yours!"

tarver's mistake was taking too many breaks. he wasn't active enough. if johnson hadn't pressed the action, this would have likely been a much more boring fight. we need more boxers like johnson who are aggressive and work hard during the fight

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

No ****! That ***** had it 116-112 (8 rounds to 4 Johnson). Yeah it may have not been that impressive, but Tarver won that fight. I had it 7 rounds to 5. The rounds weren't that hard to score at all.....when Tarver took a round off Johnson won it...every other round Tarver out landed him with the cleaner heavier shots.

I'm beginning to ****in hate the sport because there is always this judging bull****!

I thought it would be draw too...guess I was wrong.

[vB Martin]

um.. yeah... Buddy McGirt always says that.

As for Johnson, I am definitely glad for him. He's been entertaining me for years, and I'm glad he can finally afford to quit having a second job.

IMO Tarver won the fight. If he would of kept the pressure throughout the whole fight, then it would've been a different outcome on the judges scorecards.

You're a ****ing moron......those are common statements that corner guys give to their fighters to get them to give maximum effort in the last round. Look at the punch stats.......Tarver out landed him by a large margin, and it's not like Johnson is the heavier puncher so he could make up the slack with the more impressive shots. Listen....I respect Johnson for being a good person and a hard worker, but I'm a boxing fan and he did not win the fight. If you think he did then you obviously don't know the sport that well.

The right man won this fight, but it was indeed close.
