I like Cunningham, hope he wins and shuts Tarvers mouth permanently but I'm not sure if it will happen!

Personally I think it will be a very slow fight, difficult to score and some gets a close decision. Probably Tarver

USS is a warrior. He deserves a shot at Wilder, whom I think he could outpoint.

Tarver is wayyyy too inactive in his heavyweight fights I've seen. Cunningham works a lot though, I see him outlanding Tarver to win, I'm hoping for it too cause Tarver is acting way too ****y.

Actually a good match up between two veterans. Hope Cunningham pulls through again. He's never going to be HW champ, though

Rooting for Cunningham. Tarver is an old, fat over the hiller fighting several divisions above his natural weight. If Cunningham can't replicate what Chad Dawson did seven years ago then I'd be surprised.

USS has this. Tarver is an over the hill bum who's gonna get schooled.

I agree. Tarver could fight Miley Cyrus after that, would be a good competitive scrap.

Feel pretty confident that Cunningham is going to win this.

I'm a fan of Steve Cunningham the person; the boxer, not so much. Isn't every fight that he screams "robbery?" The problem with Steve is that he doesn't sit down on his punches and throw them with 'bad intensions.' Throwing pitter-patter a whole fight isn't gonna win you a decision when your opponent is throwing harder more powerful shots.

I got Tarver by KO
