    Woods Beats Johnson, Calzaghe Fizzles

    IBF/WBO super middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe was hoping that Glen Johnson would beat Clinton Woods to set up a proposed superfight in February 2007, but saw his fight plans go up in smoke as Clinton Woods retained his IBF light-heavyweight title by split-decision over Glen Johnson at the Bolton Arena. The fighters met for the third time, the first bout ending in a draw, the second saw Johnson win a unanimous decision. Some observers in the arena felt Johnson should have won the fight. [details]

            Before tonight, more people in America knew who Woods and Calzaghe were than in Britain.

              I'll have to download this but it sounds like another even fight.

              These guys have fought three times now on very even terms.

                Johnson countered Woods' lazy left hand with a big right every time, that looked Johnson's key to victory. But he just ran out of steam, really.

                  Johnson gave away round eight for a big push in the ninth, he basically just coasted through the eighth to reserve himself to throw some bombs in the next round. It nearly worked, as Woods was almost out on his feet for most of that ninth. Ultimately, Woods hung in there and Johnson had blew his chance, run out of gas and was clawed to defeat in the end.


                  Oh and Ricky Hatton was working Woods' corner.

                    Weak fight.
                    Close, they are basiclly on the same level.
                    Its 1-1-0.
