Antonio Tarver wants to target Lateef Kayode’s organs – Boxing News
While most boxers take pride in hitting on their opponent’s face, Antonio Tarver thinks otherwise. Tarver will be facing Lateef Kayode on June 2, and he believes that he will defeat the ‘Magic Man’ Lateef who is currently unbeaten. In his recent open workout
session on Tuesday, Tarver spoke about his strategy for the match and why he thinks he will reign over Lateef.
According to Tarver, “This guy is predicting he’ll knock me out in the fifth round. If Kayode comes in with that type of recklessness, he can be out before that because he has never been hit by someone who can punch as hard as me. And not just punching hard,
I’m a sharpshooter. I punch organs. I target organs: liver, kidney, heart. I don’t just punch mass, I punch organs and I punch that chin. Remember that the chin is not a muscle so you can have all the muscles surrounding your neck and body, chest and abs,
because if I touch that chin the right way, it’s lights out, baby. There are no more guys like myself.”
According to Tarver, he is the only ‘Mohican’ left in the industry, who is over 40 and can still fight. He referred to Shane Mosley and Bernard Hopkins, saying that they both but he will not.
Antonio Tarver then summarized the whole situation, which led to this fight. According to Tarver, the ‘young guy’ Lateef took offense of what he was saying as a commentator, which led to the fight. Tarver said that Kayode is at a great position in his career.
According to Antonio, Kayode is young and he is a great fighter so even if he loses he will not lose anything in his life. He added that if he loses then it would be a great setback for him since he is at the verge of retirement with not many options available.
For now, Tarver wants to give the best of his performance in this match to cement his legacy in the history of boxing. If he is able to do so, he definitely will be among the best fighters we have ever had.
