The boxer

Tarrant had a good sense of when a contest was turning against him. His practical response was to make the next round more difficult to score. The records preserve a striking number of close decisions. He could make a difficult round appear quieter than it felt to the man facing him. Rather than concede the pace outright, he disrupted it with brief answers and changes in position. The approach did not guarantee a favourable decision, but it helps explain why his results so often resist a simple description of dominance.

Recorded style: Counter-puncher.
