Personally. I can't see how Cunningham is the favourite

Despite his win against Huck, I don't think he has done much to impress and has always fell short. His style is herky-jerky and sloppy and he just reminds me of a big limp Jermaine Taylor.

Tarver is by far the smarter and more poised fighter and I think they have roughly the same output.
Maybe Cunningham is a little stronger so could try to ambush Tarver a little and move off; in-out long-limbed raids with a bit of muscle... but he is getting dropped a lot lately and think Tarver has enough to win close rounds via a knock-down-or-two, if not stopping Cunningham late in the fight.
Interesting! You know more about boxing than I do, and although I haven't paid close attention, I think of Cunningham as a pretty skilled and consistent boxer who is just vulnerable, and couldn't see the fight going differently myself. I think it's Tarver who will lose the rounds and just have a punchers chance. Years back, if Tarver had ever fought at cruiser, who knows, but he looks like shit lately to me!
