      No. I'm a Cloud fan & I do believe he lost. However he's far better than Lacy. It's 1 thing to son someone so cold in the 1st round & not adapt throughout. I hope the rematch happens. He lost the fight.

      When someone loses, they lose. Campillo should have become champ & the rematch should have been on.

        nope.

        I also thought cloud got his butt kicked last night but he's no lacy. He does a lot of good things in the ring but there are a couple things to keep in mind here - one Campillo is a very good fighter! People need to understand that. And two, styles make fights and like myself and others were saying before the fight Cloud will always struggle with good boxers. That doesn't mean he sucks, it means that's his weakness. Just like Glen Johnson struggles with good boxers and the endless amount of other come forward fighters will struggle. Every style of fighting has it's kryptonite.

          Agreed.. I also think Don King has not kept him active enough.

              he needs to learn to be more well rounded, no doubt about that.

                  Not as bad as Lacy but not much better.

                  I don't rate him at all and doubt he goes far in the sport.

                  I think Hopkins would absolutely embarrass him, even at this stage of his career.

                    He's definitely better than Lacy, but they are similar.
