GL: Can you give us some thoughts on your Super Six experience?
Antonio Tarver: "It was a helluva an experience to be so close to the action working with Gus Johnson and Al Bernstein, who I feel is one of the most knowledgeable commentators in the game today. I'm very happy to be a part of this historical moment with the Super Six and all of the fighters involved."
GL: What are your thoughts on the fights and how they played out?
Antonio Tarver: "Personally I felt Dirrell did enough to win the fight. He landed the cleaner shots and he was busier. I feel he shouldn't have moved so much, he should have held his ground more. He had the speed, elusiveness and defense to stand his ground and counter Froch instead of moving and running so much. Once it got late in the fight he got a little sloppy and allowed Froch to do some things. As a champion, I would have never been awarded a decision that was that close. I don't care if I was fighting in Orlando, Florida. Looking at my history, if I got decisions like that I'd be 33-2 right now. Sometimes you have to go take the champions belt, but I think Dirrell did well and showed he belonged in the Super Six. Sometimes losing makes you a better fighter, so hopefully he goes back to work and tightens it all up. I personally think he needs a more experienced trainer to get rid of some of those amatuerish things he does. He fought like a great amatuer the other night. I think he needs some fine-tuning to become a better professional fighter." READ MORE
