Tarver vs. Lateef Kayode Saturday night fight thread

[Hulk]

I'm really excited for this card, its like a hardcore boxing fan's PPV, budget PPV mind you, but a PPV quality card

I got Wright upsetting Quillin, its a bit of a long shot, but I've yet to see Quillin beat a real quality guy.

Trout looked very good the one time I seen him, I'll be rooting for Delvin to pull the upset.

And finally I see Tarver schooling Kayode after weathering the early onslaught, I really do see a Tarver UD or late TKO.

I haven't even seen Kayode or Austin Trout fight ever, but I think you're reallllly hoping on the Wright upset. Winky looked completely spent against Williams which must have been a couple of years ago now already, before that it was a similar layoff after looking bloated and old against Hopkins etc. Quillin if nothing else is very athletic and in good condition, I can't see him losing here even if he doesn't manage to shine. I expect next to nothing from Winky mind you, and it would be fun if he could regain some form.

All thats true and I really don't care too much about the Wright fight as I've never been a fan of his or his boring, spoiler, terrible style.

I'm just rooting for the old vet as I nearly always do.

And I think he's HUNGRY again.

Winky did not have a boring spoiler style in his day. I can totally understand finding him bad to watch, but calling him a spoiler really isn't fair imo. He was essentially a pressure fighter, almost always coming forward and had a great jab. He couldn't hit much and kept his guard up, but he rarely held or moved away from his opponent for lengths of time. He had a very effective and underrated offense imo, his style wasn't negative in the vein of a spoiler as he really fought hard to win every round fair and square.

winky is one of the most boring fighters ever.. Lets not make it sound like he was anything different during his prime cuz he was always the same old stinky.

I always told my friend that stinky could be fighting a 50ft giant woman with her titties all hangin out and I still wouldnt watch it.

peter beats him without trouble at this point.

With regard to Wright/Quillin, I'm rooting for Winky because I find it somewhat ridiculous that Quillin on multiple occasions calls out Martinez and then decides to face Winky Wright, the same Winky Wright that is 1-2-1 in his last four fights, and in his last fight got starched by Paul Williams.

I lean with Trout against Rodriguez although this is by far Trout's biggest step up. Rodriguez has been in tougher, but I'm not sure with anyone as dynamic as Trout.

I like Tarver against Kayode. Kayode didn't look good against a guy that is only an average boxer, Scanuzzi (sp?), a few fights ago, which leads me to believe Tarver will outbox him, if he hasn't aged too much.
