    Stevenson is good. The division is going to be between him, Kovalev and Ward whenever he starts using good business sense and leaves the already cleaned out SMW division.

    Stevenson has underrated skills

    I personally picked either guy by KO win, with Cloud being slightly better skillwise, after Saturday, I give my credit to Stevenson where it's due, he proved that he can also outbox his opponent, also, 35 years old and look how much quicker he was than Cloud

    lol how did most people pick Cloud to win easily? He was a clear underdog going in to that fight, and the betting lines reflected it.

    Most people picked Cloud? :think I don't think so, he was the underdog in betting, and was the underdog in both of the prediction leagues here....

    so not sure where someone would get that most people picked cloud to win, and easily at that.

    For me it was a 50/50 pick expecting an early KO both ways, and I went for Cloud only because I wanted him to win. Common mistake, picking on emotion.

    For me in meant Stevenson being slightly better as I expected and Cloud somewhat worse.

    I jumped on the Stevenson bandwagon when I saw him in person KO Dion Savage in about one minute on the Mayweather/Ortiz undercard.

    I hate the man. I want him to lose. But I do believe he is better than the general consensus (or at least was up until before the Cloud fight; not sure if he will be overhyped from now on or not).

    I now see that he is a very good fighter.

    Still think he is an awful person though and someone that i really don't like so i will never support him.

    hah - don't think many had cloud as the fave - certainly not the bookies - BUT Adonis proved he is the MAN - hope it leads to some big $$ for him.

    And in about the worst way possible.
    I will always root against this scumbag, no matter who he fights.
