    Tavoris Cloud=Jeff Lacy + 8 pounds...

    I want to preface this by saying that I really enjoyed Tavoris tonight and he has a great personality unlike Lacy who always came off like a bit of a prick to me.

    Both Cloud and his mother and his life story were very endearing and charming and I congratulate him on a nice, well deserved win.

    Having said that I see the same type fighter 1 inch taller and 8 pounds heavier.

    Suspect defense, loads up predictably on all his shots and gets winded towards the second half of the round.

    Props to Clinton for making it competitive and being a class pro. If a shot guy like Woods could tag Cloud at will like he did what will a prime top level guy do?

    Urango/Bailey


    I don't know if its just me, but I love watching pressure fighters, even ******ly clumsy ones like Urango come forward and deliberately destroy other fighters.

    Its just beautiful to watch that kind of breakdown in real time.

    Most of us suffer that kind of breakdown in a sustained way throughout our lifetime but its neat to watch a person endure a life crippling breakdown compressed into 36 minutes.

    Long live badass, iron chinned, heavy handed pressure fighters like Urango.

    Chad Dawson would whoop this kid and so would Glen Johnson, but thats okay he is still young and shouldn't be thrown in their with lions just yet. Though I think I remember him calling out Chad Dawson, I have no idea if he was serious or not about fighting Dawson but Dawson in my opinion would end this kids career at this point.

      Cloud would get schooled by Dawson.. But calling him Lacy is flat out disrespectful LOL.. Cloud is much faster, and a much better arsenal offensively.. In fact, Lacy would have been KO'd by Woods.. I dont think Lacy could beat anyone in the top 25 of his weight class.

        I'd like to see Cloud fight Diaconu. FNF worthy and would be very exciting.

          He's muscular like Jeff Lacy and he does get hit quite a bit, but he fights nothing like the guy and puts punches together a whole lot better.

            I'd go out on a limb and say Cloiud is better than Lacy. Who's the best fighter Lacy's beaten in his career? Old Gonzalez and Woods are as good or better than anyone Lacy has beaten on his resume.

            Cloud wouldn't beat Dawson right now, but he wouldn't get completely dominated every time he's stepped up the way Lacy has.

              You people need to chill with that, he is better then Jeff Lacy, ALOT BETTER. That said, Glenn Johnson and Chad would still beat him.

                Lacy put his punches pretty good in the beginning too. Until Joe Cal spanked him and took his soul.

                Tavoris may be slightly more talented and I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for now.

                Lets see how he fares against a real killer.

                  No comparison cloud is a better fighter than lacy. I am glad the kid does not stand and pose like lacy does. Cloud has enough game to not loose round after round agianst a better boxer. if cloud is losing he just ups the pressure. nothing dynamic but cloud knows enough to get out of the way agienst a good puncher I think. Dawson beats him on the outside in a close fight two rounds to dawson. Cloud knows how to cut off the ring or it would be a much easier fight for dawson

                    He loses to Chad and Hopkins, and gets knocked out by Johnson. Tarver would also beat him. I have a feeling Tarver will fight him next
