Pascal-Cloud near an agreement

All indications are that the vow of Jean Pascal will be fulfilled. The former champion of the heavyweight WBC likely make his return to the ring against an opponent he wanted to deal with from the very beginning: the holder of the IBF belt Tavoris Cloud.

Talks between the promoters of two boxers have made tremendous progress in recent weeks, so they will meet again in the coming days to reach an agreement.

"Don King and I had two telephone conversations and we have already started to discuss the parameters of the fight," said promoter Yvon Michel in an interview with the RDS.ca. "The opening is good, both on the cloud than that of King. The latter is interested in coming to Quebec. Really, the issue is moving very, very well. "

A fight against Cloud nouerait also links Pascal interview with HBO. The final duel of Laval face Bernard Hopkins has produced ratings of 1.8 million viewers, the highest level in two years for an event on the airwaves of the famous American network.

"It's a fight that interests them at the highest point and it is in a division in which HBO wants to invest," said Michel. "As there have been changes at the head of the chain and that no one can compromise, I was advised to get along with King and then it would be a formality. "

Recall that Pascal has not fought since losing his WBC title, The Ring and IBO by unanimous decision in the hands of Hopkins on May 21 at the Bell Centre. He became the WBC champion after his unanimous decision victory over Adrian Diaconu in June 2009.

Inappropriate comments

The big boss of the Groupe Yvon Michel has also had a first opportunity to respond to recent statements by the coach of Cloud, Al Bonanni, who suggested last week in an interview with the team Boxingscene.com Pascal was a bunch of cowards.

"I was extremely surprised, because the promoter did was obviously not aware of the discussions," said Michel. "These remarks were made after my first contact with King. "

However, it still does not understand why Bonanni Pascal attacked in this way, especially as his prot�g� has never shied away from the person early in his career.

"We can say many things about John, but it is certainly not shy," said Michel. "His track record speaks for itself. Jean is one of the elite division. "

"And unfortunately I can not say the same cloud. Apart from Glen Johnson, he has beaten anyone. It is the IBF champion, but he has not the reputation and especially the popularity of John. "

A very important and exciting fight. The winner obviously jumps right up to the top to fight the winner of Dawson/Hopkins. Besides all that it is just a huge crossroads fight. A loss for Pascal shows that he really has fallen and maybe his win against Dawson was just an off night for Chad. A loss for Cloud and it's back to the drawing board and yet to secure a big win. Very big fight. Will be a great way to close out an amazing 4 months of boxing.

so many scenarios.

If Pascal wins, I think he'll fight Dawson no matter if dawson wins or loses to hopkins.

If Cloud wins, obviously he has a crack at Hopkins-Dawson winner. However if it's hopkins who beats Dawson, I doubt he would want to fight Cloud at this point of his career and will look for bigger money.

Come to think of it, even if Dawson & Pascal both lose, they'll probably end up fighting eachother.

No chance of a hopkins-pascal trilogy, that's for sure.

I think Cloud takes it and pretty comfortably, I think he is underrated on here. People say he is a Jeff Lacy clone but I think he is much better than Lacy. Sucks it takes place in Pascals backyard because if it goes to a decision they'll probably **** Cloud over even if he dominates the fight.
