Tavoris Cloud vs. Jean Pascal verbal agreement reached for June/July on Showtime?

What's ok for Ward is not ok for the others?

I'll wait the signatures before being excited by this fight. But when it's done, I'll be happy.

 

The "fight negotiations are going well, close to a deal" news are from today, folks.

 

Cloud wins, Pascal though fast explosive and powerful has issues going 12 rounds

Cloud despite issues vs Campillos takes this, Pascal is not Campillo

 

Cloud needs to rematch Campillo and quickly.

 

If Cloud fights like he did in his last fight against Castillo, Pascal has a good chance. Clouds only chance is by KO, unless of course King's influence rules the night like it did against Castillo. Castillo outboxes both of these guys. Cloud was exposed as being awkward and slow against Castillo.

 

if i were Clouds management Id say no way, that guys is just poison a tough night for any one

better off facing the Dawson Hopkins winner or Pascal or one of the Super 6 guys

 

Who? Castillo?!??!?? The ****.

 

don king is going to **** this up , y would ne fighter sign with him hes worse then bob arum

 

cloud will win...he can take pascal shots but pascal wont be able to take his

 

Pascal would **** up Cloud, he's level above plus he's better at Clouds own game.

 

Cloud is one-dimensional and I can see Pascal win this one.

BUT:

1) they have to convince the IBF not to demand the mandatory fight, which is not easy. The IBF follows its rules usually. Michel and King are used to deal with the WBC crooks but the IBF is a complete diferent game.

2) they have to sell the fight to HBO or Showtime, which should be easy to make because Cloud is American.

It is not a done deal yet.

 

It takes about 25 000$ to convince IBF to make Murat wait. I think it can realistically be done. And the winner would have to fight first Karo Murat.
