Last night I got on here saying I thought Cloud got a gift decision, and he did because 116-112 across the boards were messed up. If you want my opinion, I thought Johnson won rounds 9,10, and 12 after the fight was tied up after eight. How can you give the 10th round to Cloud when that was a round of where Johnson opened up that decent-sized cut over Cloud's eye and Harold Lederman with his jacked up scoring gave that round to Cloud?
But having said all that, I could see the Johnson-Cloud fight being a draw too because I don't view it out of the question as making the fifth round 10-8 in favor of Cloud since he dominated that round and rocked Johnson pretty bad.
Now the Alexander-Kotelnik fight to me was a way bigger robbery. And Kotelnik dominated that fight through and through. Alexander made Paul Williams look like a Southpaw Mayweather. Kotelnik landed everything he threw, and had Alexander busted up like never before. I know there's a lot of Euro-American beef going on. But anybody who had Alexander winning that fight has an agenda that I can see through like a picture frame.
Clearly it was the Alexander fight. I had Cloud winning 7 to 5 over Johnson but it could of been a draw. Close fights that go to the fighter that you thought lost by a round or two, when the rounds are close, are not robberies. Now the Alexander fight was a complete robbery. Kotelnik won that fight and won it by quite a few rounds.

I had Glen winning the 10th also ( i think it was the tenth) but Lederman gave it to Cloud which confused me cuz' I thought it was kinda of an obvious round.
It just goes to show how far Johnson's slipped imo, cuz' even a Johnson of a year ago would've been good enough to beat Cloud, who is very beatable. I thought Glen showed lots of slippage in the Dawson rematch and this fight just confirms it. Its an ok win for Cloud, but not great due to the fact that Glen is starting to look his age so much.
Call me crazy, but I'd favor anyone in the super 6 to work Cloud over.
Bull's cool and all, but he had Clottey beating Cotto 8-4 as well. Icing on the cake was comparing last night's fight as being identical to the Khan one and then saying Bradley won at least eight rounds. Just a bit biased towards the fighter he likes, that's all.
