    Bet the house on Cloud. Why?
    1) Woods has fought twice outside the UK, lost both times
    2) Most of Woods wins were over pillowcases anyway
    3) Yes Woods did beat Glen Johnson, but, it was SD on his home court and many feel he lost the fight
    Good Luck on your retirement Clinton!

    I am not familiar with Cloud but he better bring it if thinks he is going to beat Clinton Woods. Woods is going to show him what UK boxing is all about.

    If Cloud isn't shot (Muriqi is decent enough but not good enough a test for a former world champ) then this will be one hell of a fight. Clouds has a great punch, Gonzalez may have being old but even RJJ coulden't stop him despite having him down 3 times (Gonzalez also went 12 with Woods twice). Very good doubleheader with Bailey-Urango fight.

    I'm hoping this ESPN card will atone for the last Friday's disaster.

    We go through this all the time. UK boxing is for posers. Haye is what we thought he was, full of ****. Khan? who knows. Hatton? well, never mind. Woods is not championship caliber.

    Cloud maybe a heavy puncher but the boxing skills, defense and experience of Clinton Woods will be the difference.

    Where the hell has Cloud been? It's been a year since he last fought.

    Junior Witter didn't do us any favors getting owned every round, running the entire fight, being rocked several times and quitting against Devon Alexander in America. Hopefully Woods can redeem British boxing a little bit.

    Didn't anybody see what "over the hill" Tarver did to Woods? Get real.

    Clouds should win a TKO. I saw the Muriqi fight and Woods looked worse than the Tarver fight.

    I've brought that same thing up Flow. I always thought it was a little convenient that Cloud's team turns down the dates on HBO that would've gotten him the Dawson fight in favor of not fighting at all, only to still land a title fight against a lesser fighter. He's a fighter that would've benefitted fighting every 4-5 months, not taking this much time off between fights.

    Wouldn't be much of an EARLY retirement. Woods has been around a quite a while.

    Always nice to be named after a serial killer.
