Bernard Hopkins vs Tavoris Cloud Who Wins & How?

His stamina and explosiveness is obviously being a little underrated...

Hopkins is going to keep moving around the ring, especially early and since Cloud is pretty slow I don't see him being able to ambush Hopkins the way Pascal did. I also think Hopkins win or lose will get to fight the way he wants to fight ie he wont be dictated to by Cloud as he (Cloud) does not have the ring smarts or the speed and movement.

 

Got Bhop by Decision but the fact that he is old and no one beats father time. Nard isn't as active as he once was so anything can happen. I'm riding with experience.

 

Yeah, i caught some of Cloud's fights with Johnson and Campillo and i may have underesimated his hand speed and foot speed. He's not as slow or plodding as i had expected. Would not surprise me one bit of Cloud KOs Hopkins or hurts him a few times. But i'm going with BHop by decision.

 

I can see that but the problem is the more movement Hopkins implements, the less punch output. I think his inability to pull the trigger is going to get him beat.

 

We just never know when time is truly going to catch up with Hopkins.
When he got put down twice by Pascal it looked like it could be the end and then he came right into the fight and won the rematch.
If its still the same Hopkins that beat Pascal, then I would pick him to beat Cloud by decision. He will have to take away Clouds workrate, but we know that Hopkins takes away alot of his opponents strengths.
If Hopkins suddenly dips in form Cloud may come through, but im expecting Hopkins to amaze us again and pull out a close debateable UD

 

People are forgetting how bad Hopkins looked against Dawson, he is not the same from a couple of years ago, I think that injury took a lot of him.....Cloud UD or late TKO.

 

This one is going to be an absolute shitfest.

 

:nod

 

Tavoris Cloud is very strong but he's tailor made for Bernard.

He's not a guy who sets a frantic pace, he is not a guy who has tremendous speed, and he does not look like he has the mental makeup of a guy who rises to the occasion.

I predict Bernard will have him fight at a reasonable pace and Bernard will clock in for another rather easy decision win.

 

Take a few pictures if you can man.

 

Hopkins, points.

 

Still don't know. Too hard for me to determine how much Hopkins has left.
