Andrade vs Cloud

well either cloud out works him or he crumble under the pressure

 

I can't see my buddy LA's unique defensive style working well against Cloud.

 

How about Cloud vs. Braxton instead?

 

I'm a big fan of Andrade, but I think the punishment he's taken throughout his career would come back to haunt him vs the much fresher and less shop-worn Tavoris Cloud. It'd be a war while it lasted, though. Cloud's still a question mark for me at the top level because I still view him as unproven, but I'll go with him via late stoppage in this one anyways.

 

Tavoris Cloud by beatdown. Could be wrong though, Andrade's proved people wrong his whole career.

 

Andrade hasn't been punched by a guy like TAvoris and with as much pressure as Tavoris. It would be a great fight the first 3 rounds, in the 4th it turns sad because Andrade is getting beat out of the sport because he is actually starting to hurt and slow down from the punches.

 

I don't know if Andrade can survive to Cloud but one thingI know is that Cloud won't be the pressure guy. No way. He will have Andrade in his face. Cloud knocks him out, or Andrade knocks him out at the end of the fight.

 

The wildcard in this fight is I don't know if Cloud has faced an opponent with much of a punch. Woods had a respectable punch but nothing overly impressive, and Gonzalez never seemed to be much of a puncher either.

However, I do agree that Andrade hasn't taken a punch from a hard hitting 175lber and that's gotta be taken into consideration.

We will find out a lot more about Cloud(especially how he handles pressure) when he takes on Glen Johnson in August.

 

I like Librado as much as the next guy, but there's no way he survives this on his feet unless it's a 4 rounder.

 

I consider him heavy-handed. Just not explosive, lousy speed, not technically that good, but I think he's very strong.
