I'm afraid for Hopkins against Tavoris Cloud

Agreed. That was a horrible decision.

 

The real question is whether or not Cloud will become discouraged/confused. It's a give-in that BHop will **** with Cloud's head and put him in positions he's never been in, but how will Cloud respond? Unfortunately I think Cloud will respond by saying "**** it", and just start swinging for his life on any part of BHop. At 48 years old, taking those blows on your shoulder and elbow will hurt quite a bit.

BHop will not look good.

 

BHOP is way too skilled for cloud. Cloud will land early, get frustrated, huff and puff and then BHOP will pick him apart.

 

If B-hop survives the first 3 rounds he will win easily in my opinion. He is much craftier than Cloud

 

what an excellent post.

 

It's a very tough fight, especially if Cloud uses Omnislash. Hopkins will be okay if he finds a way to obtain Knights of the Round during his training camp, though.

On a more serious note:

I think Hopkins should have retired years ago -- after the Pavlik fight at the latest. I don't understand why he's risking his health to fight guys in his old age when his legacy is already set in stone. There's no need to keep fighting and take more punches.

 

Cloud is a ****ing Caveman. Hopkins will school him, even though B-Hop's nowhere near where he was when he beat Pavlik, Pavlik is much better than Cloud. Cloud is getting schooled, remember what glass jawed Campillo did? iron jawed Hopkins is not going to lose to that one trick pony, he will make it a dirty ugly afair and whup that boy.

 

Seriously? Cloud is overrated as **** and ima laugh when the old man whoops his ass.

 

Hopkins is finished.

 

Don't be

 

If Dawson couldn't hit him cloud wont either

 

i'm thinking hopkins schools cloud

 

Johnson was robbed. I was at that fight and cloud looked less than stellar. He better bring more for Hopkins or he is in for a long night.

 

Yup, and he also got lucky against Johnson. Cloud's nothing special IMO...
