Tarver vs. Lateef Kayode Saturday night fight thread

[captainanddew]

i am 90% sure kayode said i fucked him up.

I am 100% sure i didn't understand another damn thing he said in the 60 or 90 second interview.

i fuck him up ! We fight again in my country africa on hbo ! I fuck him up ! ;d;d;d

thanks Hulk. I see someone speaks Kayode.

Don't know which boxing writer it is on twitter, but one of them this morning/late last night, said that he was interviewing Kayode in the gym this week, Kayode was going on a rant, and then a good friend of Kayode's told Kayode he had to slow down as it was obvious that the boxing writer couldn't understand him at all.

Kayode sucks, and woulda got ko'ed by a younger Tarver. and his voice annoys the fuck outta me!!!
saying that, I was disappointed in Tarvers early round bullshitting, and not doing enough in the last few rounds when he had Africa wobbly a few times. Tarver let him off the hook too many times, when he coulda won this by a bit more pressure.
Tarver needs to retire...

Yeah, I didn't understand that. Why is the network to blame for the decision?
Another 30 seconds and Jimmy Lennon would've been next to blame.

Seemed like Kayode was under the belief that because Tarver works for Showtime as a commentator, that somehow tainted/influenced the judging and decision. However, if that were the case then Al Bernstein wouldn't have seemingly scored the bout for Kayode nor would the decision have been a draw, it would have been a win for Tarver.

I think when listening/watching to post fight interviews we do have to take into account that they just fought for tweleve rounds and got punched in the melon a few times. Emotions and ego are running the show not a cool calm collected head. It doesn't give them carte blanche to run their mouths off but we shouldn't be too critical of what they say.
