    First I want to say it was one of the best ESPN friday nights i've ever seen. I watched it again last night on espn. If they continue this, boxing will no doubt have a fan base again. and I couldn't helpe but to think maybe the fight went on a little too long. when i first saw this, i never seen cloud fight before so i was just in awe of this guy i've never seen before beating the crap out of woods who wasn't beaten like that against johnson or tarver. then i watched it again last night and saw some shots that really made woods head snapped back. i thought the ref could have ended the fight around rd 8. your thoughts?

    I did too. :good

    And they won't.... Every once in a while ESPN surprises us with good card, but for the most part their televised fight cards are prety ****ing shitty.

    Unfortunately it was also the last Friday Night Fights of the season as well

    I tried to watch it last night, but I fell asleep. Did Cloud continue to use a good jab? I'm asking because in the past I thought the lack of a jab was the one big flaw I saw in him.

    It was close but I thought it was the right call to let it continue.

    Woods should retire though, that was enough for him.

    That was a great fight and so was the Ugando fight! Hope to see more for of that kind of fights on espn. Agree that rd 8 could of stopped the fight but it was a championship fight and I think it was a good call to let the champ try to get back into the fight.
