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

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

Tarver scoring big when Cunningham has run out of energy.

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

It passes just above boring.
Tarver is just trying to land the hail mary.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

Tarver dropping the big one on the button 2nd half of the round.
6-5 Tarver

Tarver is exhausted.
6-5 USS but it's razor thin.

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.

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

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

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.

I don't recall seeing many punches land either

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