    I want cunningham to win, i think hes got more in the tank than Tarver and especially how he was robbed in his last fight

    USS had been pretty successful at HW Al things considered, was robbed vs Adamek, floored Fury before being ktfo, and dropped Mansour and won the decision

    I think he's too mobile and too hard headed to lose vs Tarver

    Even if he's on the juice, I think Cunningham is too much for Tarver now

    Tarver will probably stop Cunningham late while behind on the cards.

    I really don't know. I will say Cunningham but Tarver is a game opponent.

    Just got back from the weigh-in (was open to the public).

    Steve looks seriously focused and I believe at 205, I think after just headed right on out. Tarver looked better than expected, at 217.

    I didn't think Tarver would be KO'ing Banks last year so you can't count out his punch. I'm rooting and hoping to see Cunningham use his reach and boxing to take a UD.

    I know Tarver has never been ko'd, has he ever been on the canvas? I don't recall. Also no testing did someone say?

    Huck looked not to break from his staredown again.

    Sidenote met Shawn Porter, cool dude, took photos w me and gal pal. Strong mitt (handshake).

    I'd really like to see Cunningham win this. He's had a number of close fights that didn't go his way.

    Either way, I just hope for a conclusive result (like a big KO).

    And, I'd also love to see a Cunningham-Huck rematch. I think that's one reason why they're being showcased on the same card.

    Unfortunately the only way great CW's get paid or on TV is by fighting at HW. Imagine killing it at your job and getting 10% of the pay and 10% of the recognition, unless you put on 5lbs. You'd be eating donuts in seconds.

    I'm hoping if this goes to the cards that Cunningham gets a fair shake in this fight.
