Anyone else think that Cloud puts a beatdown on Stevenson?

    Cloud isn't a great fighter. But he puts on a lot of pressure, can hit hard, and has a good chin.

    Adonis will not knock Cloud out and i don't think he has the boxing skill to keep him at bay. I think he might get broken down and stopped.

    Said from day 1 Cloud will win, his chin is legit and when he fights someone who is there to hit he can be dangerous

    Will be a war for as long as it lasts though

    I see Cloud as a bad match up for Stevenson, relative to how well I think he would do against everyone in the division.

    There's still some questions to be answered regarding Stevenson. His fight with Dawson ended so quickly, who knows how it might have played out had Chad stuck around longer. Don George wasn't exactly blow away, it was an 11 round beating. Cloud could present a lot of problems for Adonis if he's around for that long.

    people are looking too much at Stevenson's one punch KO of Dawson, his resume up to now is pretty weak, and although Cloud is a pretty basic fighter with average defense, he will not kneel over from one punch like Dawson, 50-50 fight for me, this one

    I think Stevenson knocks his block off. Stevenson has some momentum going. I give him the edge due to this.

    People are overlooking Cloud bigtime! I wouldnt be surprised to see Stevenson get koed during an exchange with Cloud if he's brave enough to just swing away.:!:

    Other than Dawson, who has Stevenson really beaten?

    This fight will also answer some questions about Stevenson's chin.

    I agree. And the Dawson win was a one punch demolition. It didn't show his ability to hang in tough, or to box well over a period of 12 rounds.

    Cloud will push him all the way.

    And let's remember that Dawson was coming off a loss in a fight where he was badly weight-drained.

    I still have doubts about Stevenson's durability and chin. Cloud, on the other hand, has proven to be very strong and durable thus far in his career. I'm interested to see how Stevenson will deal with the power of Cloud. I'm looking forward to this fight.

    I'm not entirely sure where the confidence about Cloud's chin comes from. If Campillo was able to stun him, Stevenson is most certainly capable of hurting him.

    I bet if Kovalev stopped Dawson with one punch instead of Stevenson you wouldn't be answering any questions.:deal:lol:

    Beating Cleverly leaves a lot more questions than stopping Dawson with one shot.
