I saw the first time Green hurt him... It was a left jab in like the 6th round. Tarver went limp for a split second. I'm not sure about the 2nd time...

Has Green's stamina always been that bad? I'm on the 5th round and he's already taken two rounds off. His hands are low and not throwing many punches. The first time he took a break was the 3rd round from what I saw.Comment

Props to Tarver and nice to see him pay respect to Nick Charles, that was a class act. But why did Green spend so much time on the ropes and his corner should have told him to throw uppercuts when Tarver threw a lazy hook and seemed to be of balance. And not taking anything away from Tarver but did anyone else notice that the 9th round was about 10 seconds longer than it should have been? Bad timekeeping did not do Green any favorsComment

It was that straight right-hand to the body, it backed Tarver up and immediately reduced his effectiveness offensively. I simply cannot believe that making an investment was not an integral part of Green's gamplan, his window in that fight was rounds 4-8, but he did not make a consistant attempt to break Tarver down to the body.
What other gameplan would be as effective for a limited puncher against a faded 42yo who was out-boxing you?Comment

After years of not giving Tarver respect, things have changed for me. Would like to see him go for one of the cruiserweight titles now.Comment
