LOS ANGELES, May 30th  – The Anatomy Of A Fight or as most would refer, “The Tale Of The Tape” gives you the physical measurements of a fighters advantages and disadvantages over the other. Only one will prevail when Antonio Tarver pits his athleticism, versatility and great defense against a young, hungry and power punching Lateef Kayode. But there is one thing that the “Tale Of The Tape” cannot give you, the size of a fighters heart, determination and will to win. And that’s where this fight will be measured.

(18-0, 14 KO’s) in a 12-round cruiserweight fight, former undisputed junior middleweight kingpin Winky Wright (51-5-1, 25 KO’s) returning to the ring to meet undefeated Peter Quillin (26-0, 20 KO’s) in a middleweight bout, Austin Trout (24-0, 14 KO’s) risking his perfect record and WBA Super Welterweight belt against Delvin Rodriguez (26-5-3, 14 KO’s) and IBF number one rated bantamweight contender Vusi Malinga (20-3, 12 KO’s) facing IBF number five rated bantamweight contender Leo Santa Cruz (19-0-1, 11 KO’s) for the vacant IBF bantamweight title.  All four bouts are set for Saturday, June 2, and the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast will air live on SHOWTIME® (9:00 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the West Coast) with preliminary fights to air live on SHOWTIME EXTREME® (8:00 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the West Coast) from The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif.  “Four Warned” is presented by A.T.
