Scottrade Center, St. Louis - In a very active fight, Tavoris Cloud (21-0, 18KOs) retained the IBF light heavyweight title with a twelve round unanimous decision over former champion and veteran Glen Johnson (50-14-2, 34KOs). The fight had action from start to finish, but Cloud had more steam on his shots at the end. Johnson at times was able to steal rounds with big spurts coming in the final thirty seconds of certain rounds. Cloud was able to keep the title around his waist by preventing Johnson from stealing the championship rounds with an outworking swarm. The score was 116-112 on all three cards.
