I just read, on a site I can't post a link to, that Tavoris Cloud will take on tough Comumbian Fulgencio Zuniga on December 26th. There is a definite pattern with both Zuniga and Miranda. They beat some cans, get a big fight, lose, beat up a couple cans, get a big fight, lose, beat up some - - - - - ad nauseum. It would be funny as hell if Zuniga knocked Cloud out. He had great power at 160, and respectable power at 168. I doubt if it will carry all the way up to 175.
this fight is december 17 not the 26th. ill be there in attendance. http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=5730824
I remember after the fight with Bute him or his trainer talking about going back to 160 because they saw The size of Bute and the size of Andrade(who was in the locker room) and described them as huge.
That was never going to happen in december. This is just a stay busy fight for Cloud who's been very inactive in the last few years.
I guess Zuniga is an ok opponent for this date. Cloud should be a huge favorite and score a ko somewhat early. But Zuniga is a tough veteran who might be somewhat competitive for a few rounds. Cloud is going to be too big, young, and good for Zuniga though. Cloud by ko around rounds 5-6.
Cloud will put this guy to sleep. Too big too striong for Zuniga. I was hoping for someone better than that.
Good fight i guess but it will be short. Zuiniga is way to small for SMW let alone LHW. I am craving a Cloud-Pascal fight. That would be something like Pascal-Froch. I think i would have to lean towards Cloud in that one.
What a joke. So much hype surrounding Cloud, yet since hes been fighting at world level, what has he done :huh. He beat Clinton Woods for the title, who hadnt long been beaten by Tarver :yikes & had lost to Johnson :yikes, which tells you his level. Cloud backed out of a unification fight against Zsolt Erdei. He has a hard fight with 14 losses 2 draws G Johnson Now hes fighting former Santos (LMW), Pavlik (MW), Inkin (SMW), Bute (SMW) at LHW atsch
Cloud should win this one easy....can't really get too mad a him for takinga fight like this, as fights like these help hown a fighters skills and keep them fresh for bigger challenges. If he makes a career out of beating guys like this thought he'd be a huge *****.
Zuniga will slug it out and get stopped. One fight I have anticipated for years is Zuniga - Miranda, at 160 or 168lbs. Probably won't be done, I think Zuniga would've slugged Edison out.
