The 35-year-old Brit travels to the US for the first time since losing to Roy Jones junior inside six rounds back in 2002. Woods, who has won his last six fights isn’t short of power and has knocked out 24 of his 41 opponents.
Tarver, Known as the Magic man, is definitely in the twilight of his career. At the age of 39 a loss against woods could end his career. Has he’s got older some of his power has left him. In his early days opponents very rarely saw the end of the scheduled rounds but recently the man from Florida has relied on points decisions to win his fights. However he has never been stopped and has only lost dour of his 30 fights and the IBO title-holder will offer a real test to Woods.
Sheffield born Woods although powerful may find himself going the distance in this fight. His ageing opponent has never been stopped and in the past, against equally tough opponents, the IBF champ has had to go to the judges to get his wins all be it by wide margins.
On paper Woods should return to Yorkshire with an extra belt around his waist, Tarver has seemed tentative of late and if he shows that again Woods can take advantage.
