    Johnson in no way convinced me he won that fight. Tarver didn't do much convincing either but he won it clear even though it was close.

        I do not think Tarver has a big mouth.

        I have not heard him say anything exaggerated.

            Tarver did enough to get the decision by 2 points. I find it funny that Tarver was talking alot of crap for the past few months and now lost. Anyways, would like to see them do it again, it was a good fight.

              I should also add that I'm not really all that upset about the decision. It's actually one of the better wrong decisions I've seen in a few years. At least in this one, a good, hard working guy gets a lift.

                it was a close enough fight that the word 'robbery' isn't fair. That being said, Tarver seemed to control the fight, threw more punches, landed more, didn't let Johnson fight all night on the ropes - I had it 115-113 Tarver.

                Lost a million points.

                Oh well, easy come easy go.

                I'll put 2.5 million on Tarver in the inevitable rematch. You in, jpboxer3?

                  I'm not going to say it was a robbery but Johnson clearly lost the fight in my eyes.
