    Bermane Stiverne TKO10 Ray Austin
    Stiverne has good power, but thats about it. He'll loose to anyone with a good chin/jab. His only way to get on the inside is by staying in front of you and moving his head. The kilts would murder this dude worse than Arreola.

    Tavoris Cloud TKO8 Yusaf Mack
    Best fight of the night. I wasn't sold on Cloud when he fought Johnson, but man I like this guy now. He comes to fight..period. Those short powerful punches are a thing of beauty. Hes my fav fighter above 154 lbs.


    Devon Alexander W10 Lucas Matthysse
    I had all my money on Devon after he knocked the **** out of urbano. Devon ain't done **** since. Devon just doesn't have the stuff that needed to be a elite fighter. It is clear now. Where did the power go? Hes not sitting down on his punches like he did before. He pulls his punches back way too early (why is he pulling them back anyways?) which is why he misses about 50% of all his flicking jabs which is why lucas was shootign over his jab all night long. Hes too prediactable. Double jab, cross. Double jab, cross step. He fights like a amateur. So disappointed in him.

    Lucas can't catch a break. Feel bad for this guy. Hes the new Ali Funeka. I like this kid though. Hes not as marketable as badass Maidana though. These guys from Argentina are all fight. I love it. His short right hand/upper cut combo his is money combination. When it lands its powerful. So yeah Devon is officially a gate keeper and even though Lucas "lost" hes still in the game. Imma need him to start koing people.


    Oh and I got to show love to K9 for the big win.​

    I agree with everything. I felt so bad for Lucas. He punished Alexander and was flat out robbed. That was bad. Stiverne will never amount to much. Cloud, I love the guy.

    Cloud needs to be more active because he's a force at 175.

    Theres not that many good people for him to fight. They divison is pretty weak. His promoter found the right guy in Mack. Mack fought a good disciplined fight...just wasn't enough.

    Cloud has gotten alot better since the Johnson fight.

    Yeah cloud is good to watch very solid powerful fighter, he would destroy cleverly in an entertaining fight.

    I agree with all of this...^

    I think Stiverne is now Vitali's mandatory, he'll murder him...

    Cloud is looking better in each fight. Hopefully he can get a meaningful fight soon with winner of Dawson-Hopkins...

    I won't blame Matthyesse if he doesn't come back to the states, both of his losses should be wins. He beat Judah and clearly beat Alexander. Sad the judges f*cked up his record...
