Tarver takes IBF title from Woods

Antonio "The Magic Man" Tarver unified the IBO and IBF light heavyweight titles with a deserved unanimous decision over Clinton Woods. 116-112, 117-111, 119-109. Woods didn't apply the pressure he has become known for and Tarver showed patience as he consistently outpointed Woods in a professional workmanlike performance. "I'm looking for the other belt holders now,"stated Tarver in his post fight interview with Showtime. "Chad Dawson isn't the same person he was yesterday, he's a wounded duck and he could be next."
