Lateef Kayode?

Hard hitter, exciting fighter and a decent finisher.

Far from a polished pro though and in a division with hard hitters like Cruiserweight I don't like the way he starts throwing punches and leaves his chin just hanging in the air...actually I might like that, as it could make an exciting KO highlight reel at some point.

 

He's certainly a shredded big looking ****er, with a rather mean face. Not quite the Herculean shithouse that is USS Steve Cunningham though.

 

Whats his resume and development been like, for people who have seen a few of his fights? Need to check out on him, I rarely watch Cruiserweights stupidly.

 

Not too bad really. He's come along nicely having settled down and proved himself a regional US level. Beat some decent journeymen types, but hes not had a KO in his last three fights and it does make me wonder a little bit if he has the KO power where it matters, in the big time. Its all well and good having knocked out every bum you've faced and people calling you a big hitter but it doesn't prove too much.

Theres Showtime highlights and such on YouTube. His fights can be downloaded I believe.

 

He's a bit sensitive. Challenged and called out antonio tarver because tarver was simply doing his job announcing the fight and he couldnt take some of tarver's crtisism. Tarver was not being harsh or bias either.

 

Not a fan.

 

Seeing Kayode stripped down to trunks sparring in a stifling Wild Card, ya gotta hate'm. No living human should be blessed with his genetics. He's the Statue of David come to life.

A playful disposition in an outta the ring. Nothing impressive about what he does, and he doesn't pull the trigger often enough, just plods ahead, picking up the pace, the only variable, but his clubbing shots wobble people.

He's easy to find 'n squares-up too much. So far, he's eaten shots 'n keeps coming, but they accumulate; and without warning, the tires will come off the bus.

 

i seen all of kayodes fights on showtime . he wins and gets the job done. but it really isnt that impressive.

 

He is developing nicely. Future champion in the making.

 

He's not a world beater, but he's fun to watch. And that's what's most important. To me anyway.

 

Thanks a lot guys good stuff. Who would be favoured if he and Ismayl Silakh fought?
