Artur Beterbiev vs. Tavoris Cloud

Jumping from a guy with a 16-25 record to someone like Cloud is pretty incredible.

 

Beterbiev is one of the biggest prospect in LHW.
He would have fought Lacy earlier this year (but got injured).

This would be a giant step and a big risk.

 

Cloud's not top class, but he's still a solid, dangerous fighter and a hell of a step up this soon in Beterbiev's career. Props to both if it comes off.

 

So is this on tv anywhere in the US, thought for sure it would be on hbo or Showtime

 

Cloud can be inconsistent with a poor work rate...

 

Cloud can really hit Beterbiev needs to humble himself fast!

Beterbiev can really bang too, but it's still a helluva step up. GYM are taking something of gamble here cos' Artur is still getting hit a little too much, especially when goes looking for the early finish.

Nonetheless Tavoris is relatively limited stylistically, and, while it's hard to tell given his level of pro opposition to date, I reckon Beterbiev may be both the better fighter and the harder puncher (though I sure as hell wouldn't bet on this fight) - I guess we find out on Saturday, though.

 

pretty good chance this will be Cloud's 4th consecutive loss.

I wonder what he's going to do if Betterbelieve stops him.

 

Will depend a lot on what sort of Cloud shows up.

If hes looking at it like a chance to get back to the big time,then it could be interesting.

If hes been broken by his losses, I can see a crushing loss

 

Beterbiev boxe in the heavyweight division in the AMS, fighting Russian and Cuban veterans. Cloud is in deep trouble. The brits will see it on Boxnation, I will see it in a bar with some friends.

 

I hope Beterbiev wins, and this sets up Kovalev-Beterbiev.

 

Beterbiev will knock Cloud out!!!
