So if Tarver is over rated, what does that make Jones?
Sorry but I thought Tarver clearly won.
Yes, some rounds were close but even if Johnson got the benefit of the doubt,
a draw would've been more appropriate.
Jones will always go down in the history of boxing. Jones would whoop Tarver if he had anymore drive to fight. Im not even an RJJ fan, plus won a hundred bux watching Tarver KO Jones. Overall...to me anyways...Jones is a better boxer.
Watching as a fan, sure...Tarver won the fight.
Imagine scoring as a judge though..He did not do enough to take the fight. He was a 4 to 1 favorite. He should have smashed Johnson, but he gave a performace like that. Took rounds off and for some reason thought he had he fight in the basket. Landed nice combinations here and there...some beautiful lefts that popped Johnsons head back...but he sat on that too much and slowed down.
Overall, dead issue to me. Boxing is in drought until late January.
UFC 51, thats whats up.
