Official Johnson-Tarver II Poll

[josenoway]

Glen by SD...I figure Glen's been so well prepared his last few fights, and he's been great with sticking to his gameplan and for the most part controlling the pace with that unrelenting pressure.

Hopefully it's more exciting than Winky Tito. (heh, winky tito, sounds funny).

Glen Johnson, despite not being somebody I am a huge fan of, has certainly done his job to earn the respect of the sport. "The Road Warrior" went from being just that, a journeyman fighter, to somebody who has found their niche at light heavyweight and is getting his time in the sun. That being said, I do not think that he is as good as Antonio Tarver is. Tarver took alot of time off in that first fight, as in entire chunks of rounds, and did not seem to have his best stuff, and despite all that I thought that he had what it took to pull out a close but clear decision. The judges thought otherwise however and the decision went to Johnson. Do not expect Antonio Tarver to take it as easy on Johnson in the second fight. He is going to be much busier then he was the first time and will not have too much trouble landing shots on the less technically skilled Johnson. I like Antonio Tarver by KO here setting up a pretty big return fight for Roy Jones Jr.

[Tarver is my dad]

To Johnson, this is his BIG fight. To Tarver, he's already won his dream fight, complete with witty remarks forshadowing his KO victory.

Johnson will outwork his ass again and he'll retire.

I definately concur

TARVER is one of those boxers that I trully hate..IM A TARVER HATer

[NiGe2011]

Hate him or not he is going to go to work on Johnson for a second time come June 18'th. And this time he is not going to give the judges the chance to see it the other way. Johnson is going down in this one, and he is not getting back up.

And this time he is not going to give the judges the chance to see it the other way.

I see when Tarver said something like that in the post-fight interview,it got stamped to your forehead in the process.I dont buy into that,especially when a 36yr old Antonio Tarver had nine friggin months to prepare himself for Johnson the first time around.

I remember Tarver saying he was gonna KO Johnson before the first fight,and I laughed then,and i'm laughing even harder now,because he's still saying it and fans are still buying it.

[NiGe2011]

I think he could have KO'ed Johnson in the first fight, but Tarver has the tendency to be a little gun-shy. He took to many rounds off against Johnson, and despite the fact that I thought he won- Glen got the decision. But, you also need to remember that Tarver is good in rematchs. He loses a decision to Eric Harding and KO's him in round 6 of the rematch. He loses a decisin to Jones and KO's him in round 2 of the rematch. I think the trend will continue against Johnson.

Tarver beat Harding and Jones in the second fights

Johnson beat Harding and Jones the first time around

Trend ends JUNE 18!

So I guess those 16 others who voted for him to K.O. Johnson dont know what they are talking about jpboxer3? LMFAO.
