    Anyone know the deal on the Cloud-Glen Johnson fight?...

    I noticed this fight has been scheduled on Boxrec. for weeks now...I thought I read somewhere there was a press conference for the fight..But I haven't seen ANY coverage for this fight at all..No interviews, presser photos nothing...Anyone know what's going on overall with this fight? It's a really good fight, not only in terms of the fight action, but the impact it has on the division.

      I'm taking Cloud by UD. I feel his stamina, handspeed, aggresion and power are going to be alot for johnson to handle. Even though Johnson IS tough, the guy has had 65 fights and has taken alot of punishment throught his carrer, also being 41 doesn't do him any favors. I'm expecting Cloud to be moving on the backfoot SLIGHTLY, not straight up using the whole ring to move arund but I see him moving a bit and looking for openings, If Cloud fights a smart fight (which I feel he is capable of) I think he can beat Johnson to the punch. And I think Cloud can manage to take Johnson's punch, Cloud isn't Yusaf Mack. I expect Cloud to shock some people by being able to hurt Johnson, don't be surprised if you see Johnson get rocked. I DO see a possibility in Cloud stopping Johnson being shop worn like Johnson is, Cloud is young and is in his prime. Expect to see Cloud roll and counter over Johnson's jab quite often. There is always a possibility Johnson could show the warrior that he is and upset Cloud...But i don't think it will happen. Cloud by UD 116-112 or a POSSIBLE late TKO between rounds 9-12.

        All I know is its on the undercard of Alexander-Kotelnik. That's a great card. I got Cloud by UD or late stoppage, Tmann400's prediction is on point.

            I got old man Johnson to take the inexperienced and inactive Cloud to places he isn't ready to go for a late stoppage.

                The fight will be on the Alexander-Kotelnik undercard in St. Louis so it's not going to get much attention but it'll steal the show, should be a really good fight.

                  Cloud-Johnson will probably be much more competitive than the main event.

                    ESPN got it for August 7. Fight is getting overlooked since 175 don't have a lotta shine right now. I'm looking forward to it though. I was mad seeing Johnson get drubbed in his rematch with Dawson, even though I expected it to happen. I'm pulling for him to get the win here. I think he can do it because I just don't think highly of Cloud. Problem is time is catching up to Johnson. I think the fight will be a good one, but I got Cloud by decision.
