    Tarver is the King of Lucky Shots.... {Video}

    They speak for themselves...





    Both punches he's not even looking at Jones and seems more like the equivalent to football's "hail mary" desperate attempt to land if you ask me.

    He just looks for the punch and ducks to dodge a punch coming at his face, as well as get a little more power by throwing his body into it. I don't see it being a bad thing, Hopkins did it all the time.

      I think the first one was a mixture of luck and skill. It was skill that made him throw the left hand at the right time but it was luck that Roy happened to be in the wrong at the wrong time. Roy doesn't get hit that much in the middle of the ring, so that was rare at the time.

        Tarver spanked Roy like his girlfriend.

        Hopkins is next.

        Tarver destroys legends.

          I think it's somewhere in the middle. Leading up to the fights, McGirt revealed the strategy to throw while Roy throws. You can see Roy landing his shots but he's throwing to score. Tarver threw in desperation but on purpose. The only time Roy is stationary is when he's sitting down on punches so that's the only chance Tarver had to score.

                Once Calzaghe moves up to light heavy, I hope he gets it on with Tarver. I'd bet every point on a JC victory. Easy.

                  Where were Roy's reflexes? he just stood there. This was not the same Roy from before.

                  Tarver is a lucky ***** who came at the right time..and he wants to beat washed up legends like Roy Jones, Bernard Hopkins and Mike Tyson.

                    He was ducking punches each time he threw those counterpunches. They were both counterpunches. The first time Jones threw a righthand that Tarver ducked and then he came back with the left as Jones was throwing his lefthook. The second time Jones throws a jab and Tarver starts to counter with the right hook while Jones throws his own righthand.
