Chad Dawson v. Tavoris Cloud

[Pacdbest]

I'm more intersted with Cloud -Tarver/RJJ, Cloud needs a Big name ti become popular. Dawson is not a ticket. If he beat Dawson, it so easy to discredit the win. They can call Dawson overrated. Cloud needs to fight RJJ, Tarver or Bhop.

im not hating buddy, i said he's an exciting fighter, he has a nice style, but Dawson is way to skilled for ur boy Cloud, dont deny it, if u do then u dont know boxing.

I do think Dawson is a better technical fighter than Cloud. But the problems that Dawson faces going into this fight is a power disadvantage, a chin disadvantage (might be equal, but Cloud's power pushes that advantage in his favor), and a stamina and work rate disadvantage. I think those things Cloud brings to the table is the reason why he poses a threat to Dawson.

Why do you want to see a young boxer fight shot veterans like Tarver and Jones? He should fight Johnson or Dawson next.

Cloud has a puncher's chance. Remember, Dawson's chin ain't that great.

To Johnson's credit, he said he would fight Cloud if he gets past Dawson. Can't say the same about Dawson.

Dawson has good ring intelligence and unlike Woods he puts snap his punches and throws meaningful combinations. Dawson is not a power hitter, but he certainly has enough power to keep Cloud honest. Also Dawson's stamina and work rate isn't bad, and it's been iffy in some fights, but Dawson is undefeated and he corrects his mistakes and does enough to win.

As for Dawson's chin being bad, he went through the fight of his life against Glen Johnson and wasn't even knocked down once. Dawson's chin isn't bad, he's tough. Also Cloud still hasn't been tested yet, so how does Cloud have a chin advantage?

what were the scores?

Did woods get ko'd?

No, but he got spanked for 10 out of 12 rds if not 11 out of 12. He got tagged a bit though but he almost dropped Woods several times.
