    Heard Hobson only bidded £105,000 for the fight.

    Will be ESPN in the states, maybe we will get it on ESPN here.

    Got a feeling Woods will get destroyed.

    Wow, thats an awesome Friday Night Fights. I think Eurosport showed it live the last time Urango was on FNF. Hopefully they can do the same again.

    ESPN showing it here would be fairly unlikely I'd imagine, they'll have live Baseball on then. I could be wrong but hopefully someone picks it up live.

    Woods will make this pretty competitive but I see Cloud being too strong in the end.

    It's a step up from Jersey last time out for Woods.

    I hope the Woods we dont see the Woods who turned up against Tarver turn up for this fight. He's a quality boxer. Hopefully we'll see the Woods that fought Jonson

    I like Cloud though, it's a real shame HBO couldn't arrange for a young exciting undefeated (American) contender with 19 knock outs out of twenty wins to fight an undefeated world champion, with really good skills with a few good wins under his belt. Even though that's the case it's also a shame that they (HBO or promoters) to get the Woods-Cloud fight as the co-main event on the same night so Cloyd gets some good exposure.... to set up the Dawson fight. Politics.:twisted:

    james toney,ian napa,archie moore esque.

    he likes guys to walk to him. has a nice cross, uppercuts in both hands and good combinations, not a big worker but a pressure fighter with a good dig.

    woods isnt a boxer so i have problems of him manhandling him or countering him for example.


    woods stylisticly i dont think can win

    I think Clinton has a great chance he let himself down in his last World title fight and will answer the big questions people have and will win the title.

    I've had my eye on Cloud for a while. I think he should take this comfortably.
