Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2015-08-14, disappointing fight between
Antonio Tarver and Steve Cunningham: it gets two stars.
The former light-heavyweight world champion Antonio Tarver (he is 46 years old, seven years older than Cunningham) entered this fight with a professional boxing record of 31-6-0 (22 knockouts) and he is ranked as the No.8 heavyweight in the world (currently the #1 in this division is Wladimir Klitschko). He suffered his last defeat in 2009 when he faced Chad Dawson, since then he has collected four victories and one no-contest; he fought just once in 2014 beating Johnathon Banks (=Tarver vs Banks).
His opponent, the former Ibf cruiserweight champion Steve Cunningham, has a record of 28-7-0 (13 knockouts) and he entered as the No.13 in the same weight class but he comes off the loss against Vyacheslav Glazkov (=Glazkov vs Cunningham). Tarver vs Cunningham is the main event of the evening. Watch the video and rate this fight!

Review: 2014-12-11, pretty boring fight between Antonio Tarver and Johnathon Banks: it gets two stars. The former Wbc, Wba and Ibf light-Hw champion Antonio Tarver entered this fight with a boxing record of 30-6-0 (21 knockouts) while his opponent, Johnathon Banks, has an official record of 29-2-1 (19 knockouts). Both boxers are not ranked as they haven’t fought since more than one year: in their last fight Tarver defeated Mike Sheppard (=Tarver vs Sheppard) while Banks lost to Seth Mitchell in their rematch (=Banks vs Mitchell 2). Tarver vs Banks is on the undercard of Austin Trout vs Luis Grajeda. Watch the video and rate this fight!

Review: 2012-06-02, pleasant fight between Antonio Tarver and Lateef Kayode but it is not enough to get three stars (fight ended by split decision). Antonio Tarver (29-6-0) entered as the No.2 cruiserweight in the world while the undefeated Lateef Kayode (18-0-0) entered as the No.8. Tarver vs Kayode is valid for the IBO cruiserweight title (Tarver’s first defense). Watch the video!
