So is the fight gunna be showed in the UK, i'd like to watch this one.

As much as i like Johnson i just got a feeling that Tarver may have his number, be nice to see Johnson win.

Tarver isn't unbeatable, and Johnson has the better workrate. If Tarver can't hurt Johnson easily, he could have problems as Johnson's swarming style is a real handful.

Maybe I am just thinking with my heart rather than my head again, but I fancy Johnson for the upset.

I am going for Johnson, I dont even consider it an upset people think way too much of Tarver!

As much as i like the skills of Tarver i think he has a massively overinflated opinion of himself and is primed for a fall, if anyone is going to do it it will probably be Johnson. In the swings and roundabouts of World Boxing today and the lack of consistency at almost every division i would not at all be surprised if Johnson does the business.

What about the first question? Will it be on Sky or BBC?

If anywhere it will be on BBC i would expect.

Agreed, Whilst Tarver is a good fighter he isnt a great, he wouldnt have lost to Harding and a wrecked RJJ if he was....

Johnson could get tagged early and not get in the fight (a la Williams) but once he gets going could cause real problems to Tarver..

he beat Harding and Judah (really) so i dont think the southpaw stance should overly trouble him
