    Yup, my whole point. Didn't tarver win like every single round against Woods? I gave Woods like one round against Cloud. So Cloud almost put a shut-out on but not quite like Tarver did. And aren't Tarver and Woods quite passed it now? I mean when was the last time Tarver or Woods looked exactly sharp?

      I didn't score it 116 - 112 either, I only had Woods winning 2 rounds.

        Nah, Tavoris is Jeff Lacy + 8.

        He'll be exposed soon enough. Clinton seemed to land at will when he threw punches.

        Against someone with faster hands, more volume and power, Cloud will disappear.

        (you like the pun)??? LOL

          Definitely agree about the scores being generous to Woods. It looked more like 10-2 to me.

            Dawson should be able to outbox Cloud if they fought right now, but one thing with Dawson is he can be really inconsistent minute to minute in a fight Cloud is the type of fighter that can take advantage of that if he is allowed the chance.

              Yeah I thought Cloud dominated and the scores were alot closer than they should've been but it wasn't a Paulie-Diaz type inept scoring ripoff. I agree with the concentration laspes statement someone brought up I like Dawson but he doesn't focus 100% of the time and that saw him get dropped against Adamek and Cloud certainly seems to have the pop to put him down if an opportunity presented itself.

                Right now Cloud loses to the faster slicker Dawson. Consider, though that Cloud may not have actually looked as good as he could have because he had not fought in over a year. Still, I think Cloud's best chance is to catch Dawson and ko him because no way Dawson's chin stands up to some of the shots Woods took last night.

                  Dawson wins a UD. Might lose a few rds, but wins clearly.

                    Dawson should win as he has the better overall skill set. Atleast Cloud will make fight unlike vs Tarver that was a SNOOZEFEST!
