TAVORIS CLOUD may well be in for a BEATING

Glenn Johnson is in a class of fighter that Cloud hasn't ever been in with. I haven't seen much of Cloud at all, so I'm not placing any bets until after I do some more research, but from what I've seen I think Cloud is gonna get overwhelmed late in the fight. Cloud can throw a lot of punches, and is definitly very athletic, but this is a huge step up in class for him. Clinton Woods was shot, and so was Gonzalez. Which means his 2 best wins BY FAR were against guys who could barely fight back. Woods was his toughest test up till now, and Woods is also the only fighter to take him the distance (other then Reggie Strickland 5 years ago in a 4 rounder!) I'm not saying Cloud is a bad fighter by any means, but this is an ENORMOUS step up in competition for him. He has been pounding on stiffs his ENTIRE career. As of now, i dont think Cloud wins this fight. And at +200, Johnson is looking like a great bet. I may change my mind, but I dont think i will.

I love Glen Johnson. I became a fan of him when he beat my fav fighter Roy Jones Jr. I was intrigued by what he said after the fight...." Im not the best, Im just a guy willing to fight the best." That has stuck with me ever since. I enjoy his passion and wish most fighters had the same quality. Im rooting for him and hopefully he puts on a fantastic show. GO Glen, do your thing homey.

I'll be rooting for Johnson, but my money would be elsewhere. The Road Warrior is close to the end of the line. Of course if Cloud proves to be a fraud...

if johnson can take cloud's shots early it could be a long night for tavoris. cloud's technique and tactics leave a lot to be desired. he can be out worked, which is the road warriors calling card.

Yeah I wouldnt count Johnson out. If he were 5-7 years younger it would almost be a lock. He has lost a little of what made him great, but still has some in the tank. A coin flip fight to me.

I'm siding that way too. One more for the Road Warrior in this.

KBall, how do you decide which words to capitalize in your topics? Anyway, old ass Woods had some countering success against Cloud. Johnson is going to be in his face all night, and has an iron chin. I think Johnson wears him down and probably knocks him out. If Cloud lasts, he loses a decision. lol the words i want emphasized i capatalize. and yea Atlas's scorecard of the woods fight was absurd. Cloud definitely had his moments and thats not a good sign. That was by FAR clouds biggest fight so theres no excuse that he wasnt ready.

I agree that this will be clouds toughest fight but glenn looked a little shop worn in his last fight with dawson. This though is a better fight style wise 4 johnson. Cloud is not really a mover so glenn wont have 2 chase him like dawson. I still think youth will serve in this fight though. & if glenn does win would u want 2 c him fight dawson again? Style wise i think not. The second fight with him n dawson was boring. & the same thing would happen with pascal also. They matchup better with cloud than do with johnson

I never saw Cloud guy but I heard he is real deal and I think he is gonna stop old Glen Johnson! ive heard that too but i havent seen it yet. His youth may end up being the difference in the fight, but Johnson looked sharp against Yusef Mack and in the first fight against Dawson, so I think he still has a good amount left in the tank. Should be a HELL of a fight tho, either way.

Glen Johnson brings the best out of EVERYBODY he fights so this will be a great test for Cloud, looking forward to see how he does
