Antonio Tarver vs. Steve Cunningham - August 15th 2015

[Evander]

The match up sucked coming in, it's turning out worse.
When you push two guys who aren't really Heavyweights up this is what you get sometimes.
3-0 Cunningham

[Evander]

Cunningham dipped in the 4th, on rubber legs for a moment.

[Evander]

Tarver scoring big when Cunningham has run out of energy.

4-1 Cunningham

[punchoutsb]

Tarver is so inactive. When he throws, he's got the power to hurt USS, but he's nowhere near active enough.

[Evander]

It passes just above boring.
Tarver is just trying to land the hail mary.
5-1 Cunningham

[Evander]

Tarver edged it in terms of sigle power punch, it was hardly like Cunningham did much.
5-2 Cunningham

[crusader]

4-3 USS

[Evander]

Nothing on Cunningham's punches.
Tarver might have won the round by a hair but even a knockout won't over shadow the match up.

5-3 Cunningham

[punchoutsb]

This is the weakest I've ever seen USS's punches. And Tarver is not doing near enough. Pretty dreadful, but I have Cunningham up by two or three.

[Evander]

Look at the last 1:10 when Tarver lost his balance.
Much like the last round.
5-4 Cunningham

[punchoutsb]

I'm sure SenorPipino is thrilled to see this awesome back and forth showcase battle following that boring Euro-weenie fight

This fight sucks, and I've been a Cunningham fan for years. Neither guy is offering anything.

[Evander]

The is weight difference is taking it's toll on Cunningham in one punch power shots.
Tarver is the slower but heavier hitter.

5-5

[Evander]

Tarver dropping the big one on the button 2nd half of the round.

6-5 Tarver

[punchoutsb]

Tarver is exhausted.

6-5 USS but it's razor thin.

[punchoutsb]

They should give prizes to members of the crowd that didn't fall asleep

USS trying to be aggressive to finish, Tarver lands one punch again. Shouldn't be enough to steal the round, but it probably did.

I'd say 7-5 USS, but again it's razor thin. I don't think one solid punch should negate Cunninghams (pretty ineffective) aggression.

[Evander]

Cunningham pushed enough while the Tarver left failed to materialize apart from once in the last minute.

6-6

[squiggy]

Cunningham's gonna get questionable scorecards again.

[SFW]

Farhood is not good at scoring fights, he's had some horrible scorecards before

[Evander]

141 Tarver

[punchoutsb]

I really don't believe Tarver threw 400+ punches.

[Evander]

Scorecards

115-113 Cunningham
115-114 Tarver
114-114 Draw

Fight scored a Draw

[Perseus]

Southpaw and orthodox fighter in the ring and I don't think I saw a single clash of heads.

Draw was a good call from the judges.

[punchoutsb]

Southpaw and orthodox fighter in the ring and I don't think I saw a single clash of heads.

I don't recall seeing many punches land either

Fair decision

Fair decision

One of the best decisions I have seen lately.
I was expecting a wide decision on at least one of those cards
