    Voted Cloud by TKO, my gut reaction is a stoppage in the final rounds, but it barely edged out Cloud by UD.

    I don't know if they're underestimating Cloud so much as realizing that it's a difficult matchup for Cloud. Campillo is taller by about 3 inches, has a longer reach, is probably a little quicker, moves around all the time, and is a southpaw (Cloud has only fought 1 southpaw in his career). It's going to be a tough fight for Cloud and he should be tested. If he passes the test he will be more ready for a guy like Pascal.

    However, don't mistake it...it's a dangerous fight for Cloud.

    Cloud. It's going to be a tough fight for him, but I like his will-power, strength, power, and toughness to get him a close decision (unfortunately, even if it isn't completely deserved).

    You were right, Arreola will be facing another clubfighter in Eric Molina.

    Cloud is an entertaining fighter. Too bad Tavoris doesn't have a promoter who is willing to keep him more active.

    I think he'll get the KO on Saturday.

    Cloud KO.

    Campillo is a skilled boxer, but no more skilled than Mack in my opinion. I do not think he can handle the in fighting of Cloud, his power, nor his rate and it is the power and the rate of connection that will force a late round TKO.

    ^ This is my opinion also.

    Sampson Lewkowicz had some interesting words though.
    Great matchup. Would love to see the winner face Pascal, though
    I don't see that happening. Pascal only wants bigger names and will
    probably fight Bad Chad again after Chad disposes of B-flop.

    I really don't know. It's a close one. Campillo has the skills to outbox him but also Cloud usually gets to his man and Campillo does get hit and does slug a bit.

    I'm really excited for this fight I think its pretty much 50/50 I'm slightly leaning towards a close Campillo decision but my heart wants Cloud and I think he has a good a chance as anyone to KO Campillo late he has the workrate the power and he will just keep coming and coming.

    And no one bring up Shumenov he sucks all he does is throw telegraphed one-two's at half the workrte of Cloud and with less power.

    Cant wait gonna be a FOTY type fight fo sho.

    WAR CLOUD!!!!!!

    Of course :D Dude will try and take the bum route into another Klitschko payday.

    Hell, the fight is even an WBC-eliminator.

    Suleiman loves everyone with Mexican blood in them, as we know.

    I think toe to toe Cloud may be the best 175 pounder

    but Campillo will not stand toe to toe with him and i believe that if Mack could catch him with some good shots then why not Campillo

    This will be interesting, Cloud will wanna get inside and Campillo will wanna box

    tough fight i get the idea Cloud comes home with his belt around his waist
