Tarver Jr. KO 8.
At the opening act, Nigerian-born heavyweight (over 90.7 kg) Rafael Akpejiori (15-0, 14 KOs) did not notice the resistance of the journiman
Della Longa (7-12-2, 4 KOs) from the USA.
The big man expectedly knocked out the opponent in the opening round. But isn’t it time to move on to a higher-level opposition?
