Kayode Should have gotten the Win.

I dont know I'm happy with a draw, I had Tarver winning one of the earlier rounds, and then winning rounds 6 to 12 minus 1 round. So really I gave Tarver 6 rounds. In the end, he beat Kayode up late in the fight, hit him really hard and stunned him on about 3 different occasions.

 

Neither guy did enough to "win" the fight. A draw was the best outcome here.

 

Where in gods green earth is what Kayode did considered "boxing"?

 

Showtime should have gotten a better main event.

 

neither one of them should have clearly won the fight. there simply was not enough done on either side to get the win. kayode will learn from this and become a better fighter because of it, but tarver, if he would've put his foot on the pedal earlier, would have won it.

 

I mean, I respect your opinion but I dont think either of them did enough for the win. regarding the fight though, I was surprised at how tarver wasn't gassed or breathing hard at all during the latter part of the fight especially the championship rounds, whereas kayode was breathing heavily out of his mouth.

 

It wasn't just about the 1 shot Tarver landed to me......Kayode landed almost nothing of note the 2nd half of that fight. Tarver dictated the action, the pace, hurt his opponent on multiple occasions and managed to pick off almost all of Kayode's shots in the process.

It was far from a dominant performance, but to me it was a close but clear win for Tarver.

I gave him 1 of the early rounds and almost all the late rounds. I think the judges bought into Kayode's silly histrionics during the fight as well. But he was the one getting hurt, not his opponent.

A draw wasn't outrageous at all, nor would a win for either guy, but I think a draw was more generous to Kayode than to Tarver.

 

plus one.

kayode should try mma. dude cannot box to save his life.

 

#1 scoring criteria= clean EFFECTIVE punching. If the rounds tied in clean effective punching you go to criteria number 2 which is EFFECTIVE aggression if they're still tied you go to criteria number 3 which is Ring Generalship- something Kayode exhibited absolute zero of.....if they're still tied you go to criteria number 4 which is defense- again something Kayode showed zero of.

Kayode did very little of each that were effective. Tarver's lack of activity definetly ruined a few of the early rounds for him but c'mon son.....Kayode's a walking punching bag and got bullied by a lazy old man. Kayode landed nearly nothing clean so there goes criteria number 1 in most rounds, also showed agression at time but none of it was effective so there goes criteria number 2....you get the picture.
