Comments Thread For: Tarver: I Beat Kayode in Every Facet of The Game!

[mrjoeblive]

started slow yes but won rounds 5-12 with the exception of 11.

I had it 7-5 for tarver but no real problem with the draw.

Problem I had was kayode acting the way he did afterwards. The man ran from a 43 year old all night. F'ed tarver up? when. I saw at least 3 times kayode was hurt. Not once did I see the champ hurt.

Whether the feet are tangled or not, if a punch is landed is it not a knockdown? Kayode came forward and tarver's short left land. Should have been a kd. Replayed it 10 times.

Everytime they praised kayode for great body shots the replay would show nothing but lowblows and blocks.

agreed 100% the first thing i said was "that was a knock down" a punch landed and he went down. and tarver did in fact block a lot of those punches.

This is why I prefer Tarver as a commentator. He's objective about boxing outside the ring. Inside the ring, he's arrogant. He gave away the first 5 rounds coz he barely threw any punches. And when Kayode threw punches, Tarver backed away. That's not effective aggression.

Tarver didn't even finish strong. I mean Kayode didn't exactly take the belt away from the champion. But, I think Tarver is lucky that he got a draw.

LOL so true the dude was acting out something awful. he should have taken the fight to the older tarver. insted of leaving the judges to make the decision for him. no room to complain IMO.

He was gone in the later rounds. He was backing up because he was so tired and then threw his little flurry that either missed, blocked or was on the beltline

Tarver needs to quit, no way he beats a Klitschko, will bet the farm on Klitschko if they fight.

. I like Tarver's strategy against the younger fighter. He paced himself while figuring out the game plan of the jovial and inexperienced Kayode. After the 5th round, it was all Tarver. And even one or two of the earlier rounds the kid did a lot of swinging but missing. Although he was active, it was in reality superficial productiveness. Tarver had the much cleaner shots and was aggressive even early on (though he should have thrown more). Tarver 115-114, because there should have been a knock down 10-8 round. Marco Huck will beat the breaks off of Kayode. Either Klitscho over Tarver.
