    He fought to a draw against Antonia Tarver. Do you think this Nigerian wonder is underrated?

    Nah.

    He has power, and certain skills for sure, but his nickname should be "Mr.Sloppy." That baroque style of his leaves too many defensive holes.

    Tarver was the best opponent he's faced, and he was waaay past his prime. Against a strong, fast counterpuncher, Kayode doesn't stand a chance.

    Not impressed with this guy at all,Good power average skills and a weak mentality, is the kind of dude that will let a fight slip away by doing nothing while being outworked and then cries robbery when he doesnt get the decision it happened with Tarver and will happen again in the future.

    I've seen him fight 5 or 6 times, I have never been impressed. Pretty sloppy, has decent power, but not as much as he thinks.
