Youth Served At Hard Rock; Urango, Cloud Win Big

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Jake Donovan - Youth and justice was served in the boxing world, with a pair of crossroads bouts at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida resulting in the fresher fighters not just winning, but doing so in emphatic fashion.

Junior welterweight titlist Juan Urango recovered from a knockdown midway through his main event with Randall Bailey to stop the former titlist in the 11th round of their scheduled twelve. The bout was preceded by the coming out party for undefeated Tavoris Cloud, who earned a vacant light heavyweight belt with a dominant decision win over former champ Clinton Woods. [details]

Tavoris Cloud really has a very bright future in boxing. There is room for improvement, especially when it comes to his defense but overall he kept the fans excited with his blazing performance.

When I first saw him fight I knew this kid was going to be a beast. I laughed when he made his comments about Chad Dawson fighting a bunch of old guys. But he also understands Chad is trying to get paid.

Glen Johnson said he would be there ring side for the fight. I know he couldn't help but be impressed with Tavoris' performance. I would like to see Tavoris have one or two more fights before he takes on Glen Johnson. I think they need to go back to the gym and work on his lackluster defense. At times he is too offensive minded and gets hit with silly shots but overall he is an extremely promising fighter.

Cloud will make for some exiting fights in the years to come.
