This fight, apart from intriguing, will be nice to see where Cloud stands. If he wins it will be great for the LHW division.
This should be a good fight, Cloud is good but untested at the highest level (Clinton Woods is VERY good but he was pretty much shot by the time he fought Cloud) Johnson is very tough and is coming off a good performence, but he has had alot of fights and is getting on a bit. Cloud should win a UD and then go on to get his ass beat by the Dawson/Pascal winner.
It's more a matter of if he'll take it as opposed to whether he'll get it. He turned down HBO to get out of facing Dawson once before when he was Dawson's mandatory- let's see if his team feels he'll be ready for it the second time around.
i thought the money wasn't right so he fought woods for the vacant belt? or am i thinking of another fight?
WTF is wrong with Cloud? He became one to watch after his destruction of JC Gonzalez and has been squandering opportunity to become one of the most exciting fighters out thereatsch
I honestly believe that Glen is going to get ****ed on the scorecards. The shittier part of it is that Glen isn't getting paid **** for this fight if memory serves me correct. I'm pretty sure Glen only got paid like $12,000 for the Mack fight. Sounds crazy, but it's true. Bottom line: Glen has to knock Tavoris out to win and I think he knows that.
Bad management, I think. You don't think he might get cleanly and legitimately outpointed? :blood Glen has suffered a couple of bad decisions, but his reputation as one of the sport's most robbed figures is a bit overstated.
