    Woods vs Cloud

    To get away from all the Diaz-Malignaggi chat.

    Just wondering what your opinions are on either fight and who you think will win when they fight in a weeks time?

    The ring rust will probably have some ill effect on Cloud, but if he's close to the form he was in against Gonzalez, he will beat the **** out of Woods.

    Cloud showed he can beat the **** out of boxers with the pressuring come foreward style of Woods. He's strong, slick with a shoulder roll, and has power while averaging 60-70 punches. I don't see Woods winning.

      You reckon he'll beat Woods inside 5?

        No, the ring rust will throw off his timing and accuracy. Woods has a pretty good chin too, so I see a UD or maybe a late stoppage (Cloud has to go to the body consistently though).

        Cloud will get a good following after this showing.

          He seems to slow down mid rounds when he gets tired.

            He does, but it looks like he purposely takes rounds off and in the Gonzalez fight it didn't stop him from winning the rounds either way.

            Woods is just as or a bit less faded then Gonzalez was and with the type of style and skills he has you can't hide it against a good fighter like Cloud, Woods will be getting tattooed. You'll see.

              He looked good against Muriqi.

              Hopefully he can take Cloud in to the late rounds.

                I hope Woods wins, if only to led on to one final decent payday for him. The guy has actually achieved a hell of a lot, and got bugger all recognition for it, even in the UK.

                But I think Cloud will beat him fairly comfortably. He's young, talented and hungry and I'm afraid Clinton has seen better days.

                  Cloud looked really good against Gonzalez. Haven't seen Woods since the Tarver off day. I think Woods is better than that but he's also old. Cloud late TKO.

                    The only asset that Woods has is a chin. I think Glen Johnson has a good case of being 3-0 against Woods even though the third fight was the closest out of their series. Cloud is going to send this hype job into retirement.
