Can't agree more, it seems like fighters who want to hit and not be hit are unpopular with US judges.
I don't think it was the crime against humanity Teddy believes it to, but it was a terrible decision and the judges should be made to explain how they came to that conclusion, round by round.

Tarver fought as if in a coma for several rounds and then from somewhere in the memory bank discovered something known as a combination and it was an effective one and Banks was all but done. Good win for Tarver, I would like to see him get a shot at Klit more than many for the curiosity value.

I was thinking Banks was in trouble when Tarver landed that left hand in the 1st round, it was fast, accurate, and planned. I was still thinking Banks might have a chance, but Tarver convinced him he was in over his head with constant pot shots and then took him out.
The fact is that Tarver will always be a problem if he is allowed to dictate the pace of the fight.
I don't think Tarver will get that far (fight for a real belt), he will eventually run into someone who will take him out of his comfort zone.
Arreola vs Tarver would be interesting.
I don't think Teddy has a chance of seeing Wilder vs Tarver.
What do you think?
