I must say i am impressed, the kid brings it. nice speed, great endurance and a puncher who can box, im sold on this kid. I thought he was one of thoses fighters in chicago who got served soft touches to build up the record to cash them out in one nice payday, nope the kid can fight. the kid even rocks on his right hand alas james toney (and myself). mabey i like this kid cause we have similar styles dont know, but with dawsons shaky chin and the fact he has a little trouble with pressure (alas glen johnson) i would put my money on cloud. him and that pascal would be a hell of a fight, and that romainan kid fighting out of canada and cloud would be a war. its nice to see new talent arive on the scene
Just watched it, and i agree he looks like the real deal!
Woods won round 2 on my card but that's it. Cloud was just to good. I'd love to see him face Jean Pascal for the WBC title. Then after that maybe he can face Dawson providing he beats Pascal. Though he is still young he shouldn't be pushed too far too fast.
Can you tell me what you mean when you say "he rocks his right hand alas james toney and yourself" ?
And what is your style?
when you rock on the right hand means when you instead of block or pery the right hand you "ride" the punch which means you pull back just enough to take the power ot of the punch or just so it falls short of hitting you and you pull back your sholder and send back a short arching right hand. and when i fought in the am in cuba i fought like cloud i boxed just enough to get close to fight at close range. thats why if i did not knock them out i was not going to win on points. i want to fight when im in the ring
hes actually a very good counter-puncher..people may of gotten all wrapped up into his hard punches. but look aat that shoulderroll over the top right hand, that impressed me..and he has so much power he breaks right through your guard..hes not some one dimensional brawler..i would call him an agressive boxer-puncher with good countering ability.
exactly he uses the jab also. but most of all he has the temperment to go with it, ive seen countless boxers in my lifetime have all the skill in the world but not the temperment to go with the skills. the kid did not even smile after winning the world title, like in his mind he was not there yet. thats what really sold me, that temperment with thoese skills and hes young too i cant wait to watch this kid fight again.

Maybe i should download this and see if he really is the real deal. The Light Heavyweight division definatley needs more talent.
give it a download its a good action fight and that cloud is the real deal
Chad Dawson doesn't punch hard enough to keep Cloud off of him. It'll be like the Johnson fight only Cloud is a harder puncher.
He won't need to keep Cloud off him.Besides Dawson would land a lot on him,should get his respect.
Cloud doesn't put the type of pressure Johnson puts.
Any combination between Cloud,Johnson,Andrade,Diaconu and Pascal would be good fights.
But I doubt any of them beats Dawson.

I'm impressed too. Seems to have power in both hands. Took good punches from a decent fighter and kept bringing the heat. I like how he doubles his left hook too. Pretty basic slugger, but he's better than an Edison Miranda or Jeff Lacy. He's Chad Dawson's nightmare, I'm saying it right now.
