Tarver vs. Lateef Kayode Saturday night fight thread

Tell me this is not PPV over there?

No, sorry for the confusion. I was just sayin its as good or better than some PPV cards and its free on Showtime.

One of the better fights on the card isn't being shown on regular Showtime: Bika v. Davis. It's Davis's biggest test thus far.

I like Bika a lot.

I like Bika a lot.

Maybe I'm off on the name, but he's the son of a what's his name, the famous Olympian boxer.

Yeah Howard Davis Jr.'s son. I believe his first name is Dyah tho I probably spelled it wrong. He's a nice kid and a pretty good boxer especially considering how late in life he picked up boxing.

He's gonna have his hands full with Bika. Wasn't too long ago Sakio took on Ward and really didn't do too bad considering the talent and tactics he was up against.

This card starts @9:00 PM ET tonight, around 1:00 AM across the pond, a little earlier then usual because of all the fights. I just noticed that Tarver vs Kayode will be for the IBO cruiseweight trinket, wooohooo!

June 2
At Carson, Calif. (Showtime): Antonio Tarver vs. Lateef Kayode, 12 rounds, cruiserweights; Winky Wright vs. Peter Quillin, 10 rounds, middleweights; Austin Trout vs. Delvin Rodriguez, 12 rounds, for Trout's WBA "regular" junior middleweight title; Leo Santa Cruz vs. Vusi Malinga, 12 rounds, for vacant IBF bantamweight title.

So drag up a brew or 2 and lets check out the action!

Showtime is doing a great thing this year. They are showing some fights that don't make the main program on Showtime Extreme.

So even an event on Showtime that has 2 fights, you will get a couple extra fights on Showtime Extreme.

Isn't that what fans want? More fights!!!! My biggest gripes as a fan: 1-Need more fights, 2-more evently matched fights (sick of guys who are top 3-5 in a division facing a guy who isn't a legit top 15 guy), 3-trinkets obsession- I could care less about the trinkets. For every time there is a unification fight where fans get to see 2 legit top 5 or so guys (if you look at unbiased rankings for the division), we have to sit through 10 mandatories (with most of them against guys who aren't that good-perfect opponents who have a decent enough record but we know are there to come, try hard, and then lose comfortably).
