He lost to someone that he had a 4 inch height advantage over, there aint no excuse for Tarver this time and it definitely makes him look like knocking out Roy Jones was the luckiest punch he ever threw in his life cuz Glen Johnson beat Tarver and Jones now, I knew Tarver wasnt as good as he was pumped up to be but this just shows he isnt ready for any of the big dogs out there he could fight.
Overrated Tarver got worked

Tarver lost that fight.
He did not do enough to win that fight..trying to steal the last minute of rounds...judges weren't fooled by that.
Johnson was more aggressive and had better ring control.
Out of all the people I know, about 5 grand total was lost by everyone betting on Tarver...and 80% of those people admitted that Tarver did lose that fight.

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.
Johnson pressed the fight but took too much leather in order to call it affecting agressiveness.
Punch stat shows Tarver landing more and the difference to me was that Tarver was landing in combinations.
One thing though, the two judges who "awarded" Johnson the decision are full of shit.
They gave the last two rounds to Johnson.... Crazy.... Incompetence shows in those who are mislead by the crowd....
But oh well, boxing is a business.
They were just setting up a rematch....
Too bad senator McCain's national boxing commission bill got axed a couple weeks ago....

Jones will always have problems against a guy like Tarver.
Styles make fights, and Jones style is catered to Tarver's.
Anyways....
The only rounds where Johnson outlanded Tarver were rounds 1, 5, and 10.
Rounds 4, 7, and 11 were even.
So even if you had scored those rounds for Johnson, he would only get a draw....
