Tarver has always been entertaining. He has talked himself into a headlining card on Showtime after a decent win against Danny Green. However, the mind is willing but the body isn't. His legs are shot.
Yes, Kayode is crude. Yes, he hasn't looked spectacular after being hand-fed opponents and Showbox main event spots. What people are failing to understand is that he was WORKING in there. On the job training. Roach often gave specific instruction to back off and focus on x-y-z.
Tarver was ringside for these bouts and and wouldn't shut his mouth about Kayode's boxing ability, or lack thereof. Tarver was old school and had to work his way up before finally getting his limelight. He seen Kayode being nurtured and probably riding Roach's coattails to some extent. His mouth has written a check his ass can't cash.
If this fight was 10 rounds, I would give Tarver a better shot at finding a way to steal some rounds and win via points. It isn't happening. Remember, the has only fought twice in the last three years and one of those was at a bloated 221 pounds against Nagy "Tomato Can" Aguilera. He beats fellow old man Danny Green and he is a contender again? Get the fuck out of here. His legs, ego and age will fail him.
Back up the Brink's truck. Kayode sitting at +320 at most books is almost comical. The "Magic Man" is exactly that at this point............. smoke n' mirrors.
