People said that in the second woods fight, woods will improve, Johnson cant.

Johnson didn't improve, neither did Woods. I personally thought the second fight was tighter than the first.

I thought Johnson improved. Woods came out all guns blazing in the 1st, looking like he may have ramped up the level of intensity, but in the 2nd round, Johnson just upped his to an even higher level. Although there were some close rounds, I thought Johnson was a clear winner myself. He was always bossing exchanges and landing the more authoratitive work. Clinton tried backing him up many times, but almost always came off worse.

Antonio Tarver is the most competitive dude you'll ever see, and that will be the deciding factor in the second fight.

I don't know why he has been such a bad sport like this. Quite out of character.

Is he only a good sport when he is winning?

I thought Johnson was a clear winner in the second fight, but in the first fight he was a clear winner also. He nearly punched himself to a standstill in that first fight, that how hard he tried.

I STILL think Woods could beat Johnson, if he fights at the intensity he used to. I watch the Klemensten vs Woods fight the other day - Woods was a different (and much better) fighter back then, now that is what you call intensity.
