Tarver vs. Lateef Kayode Saturday night fight thread

[Mars_ax]

Come on Delvin, rock his world!

[captainanddew]

shouldn't it really be Golden Girl Promotions instead of Golden Boy when you have ODH as the head of the company?

Golden "drag queen" Promotions.

[Mars_ax]

Not a lot of action so far, Trout not very impressive.

[Spicoli]

Trout needs to find his giddy up. I really wish more fights were fought in outdoor venues. There is just something about the atmosphere.

"celebrities in abundance here"...no one gives a shit Gus. Thats when you know a fight needs to pick up

[Mars_ax]

Rodriguez is not going to win a close decision against Trout, WTF is he waiting for?

no idea.

round 1 neither did much, trout more active, got it on my card.
rd 2-rodriguez landed some decent right hands, won it on my card
rounds 3 and 4-rodriguez didn't throw enough punches, both trout rounds
round 5- rodriguez edged it out on my card, but it was a close round.

Rodriguez has to start moving his hands now, Rodriguez is down 4-1 or 3-2 depending on how you scored the 5th round.

[Spicoli]

Right now Canelos people are on the phone with Kirkland....are your really that injured buddy.

Come on Trout, its there, give us a reason to not want you to be an "unknown & obscure" champion

[Gandalf]

This is a rubbish fight. Trout is bland.

[Spicoli]

Trout kind of looks and reminds me of a Reggie Johnson. Faster, not as well rounded and tight, but ehhhhhh

watching the clock here

I see why Delvin loses close fights, he just doesn't do enough, if he's going to win this fight he needs to step it up big time in the last 3 rounds.
BTW, I see nothing that makes me believe that Trout is championship material.

Kirkland's team is trying to shake down Canelo for more money. And it isn't even a reasonable amount. Go from asking for a million (which is not crazy for a B side in this size PPV) and then up it 2.5 million. Utterly ridiciulous and makes no sense. Canelo's team should just say fine, good luck with the 200-250k you will get on HBO BAD in your next fight.

I didn't know that, that is nuts! Considering Kirklands last 'gift' result he needs to snag the opportunity and wing it. We lose. Alvarez is in a spot. Just don't see Trouts marketability or willingness to make a statement here. It may get made on Canelo grabbing trinkets alone. Hope not.

[Gandalf]

Yeah, boo that shit. God awful fight.

Trout should get back in the river.

[Swice]

30 seconds left and both fighters woke up.
