I had it 115-113 Tarver. Had no problem with the draw, or with the 115-113 Kayode card.

Tarver lost the fight in the 12th, after taking nearly every round from 6 on.

I've been waiting like an hour to see the results for this fight. Currently don't have cable or Internet to stream (on phone) but to me this fight was all about if Tarver is over the hill or not. I've seen Kayode fight twice but he never impressed me. He has power but not much else IMO. Kinda wish I would have seen this fight though cause a draw doesn't tell me anything, but it seems like I didn't miss much.

Kayode threw more, and landed slightly more. Tarver started very slow and gave away most of rounds 1-5, and swept most of 6-11, Kayode took 12. Tarver for the most part was picking off Kayode's shots. Kayode was moving back the entire time and then fighting in spurts, as was Tarver. Tarver was walking Kayode down the entire time, but not throwing that many punches. Tarver trapped Kayode on the ropes a number of times, and hurt Kayode a few times during the fight with left hands.

You rarely see a Roach trained fighter clown it out in the ring ... which shows that there is little in the way of controlling Kayode. He probably could have gotten the win, if he fought more than clowned.

Kayode's brute strength, may get him through a few fights, but when he faces some real talent that has the patience Tarver showed tonight, it will be a long, hard fall.

All the fights looked good & well matched on paper but there's NO guarantee in boxing or in any sport that things are always gonna turn out great..But the card did turn out to be alright, I've seen worst, I mean really bad cards on PPV!!The 1st fight was a very good barn burner & I definitely want to see Santa Cruz again..He a non stop punching machine!! & the 2nd fight between Trout & Delvin that I thought was going to be the best fight of the card & it turned out to be sort of boring because Trout wasn't doing much & Delvin did less..I still wouldn't mind seeing Trout vs Canelo.. The 3rd fight between Winky & Quillin was alright even thou Winky wasn't even the shadow of what he once was & Quillin didn't really impress Me especially fighting a 40 year old fighter that hasn't fought in over 3 years & that looked over the hill..I would like to see Quillin vs a fighter like Macklin or Murray next..& the main event between Tarver & Kayode was pretty good even thou both fighters could have & should have done more & thought the fight was sort of even so the draw wasn't bad..Kayode might have ***ed himself out getting another fight on showtime by saying that they gave it a draw cause Tarver works for showtime & by also & especially saying(like 3 times) that he would like a rematch on HBO!!What a DUM ***!! Cause if he doesn't get a fight on HBO he's gonna have to settle for the lower class networks like FOX, ESPN or Versus or something like that or might NOT get any coverage at all..

I was excited for this card looked promising but was a dud in real life, Once again the best fight of the night was the one the Mexican was involved in. Leo Santa Cruz vs Vusi Malinga.

[4Corners]

I thought Kayode won, but that's just me. I had it 115-113. Could easily see a draw if you favored Tarver or 116-112 if you favored Kayode.

No, Malinga had no power and it was one-sided. The best fight of the night was Lane vs elegele by a huge stretch.
