Hard fight to call, while Cloud looked bad against Campillo, Pascal has a completely different style, and not quite as sound defensively as Campillo, doesn't have that awkward southpaw style, nor is he as active as Campillo. I believe in the first 2-4 rounds, Cloud will have a hard time finding Pascal due to Pascal's movement. Around the 5th or 6th though, I see Cloud finding Pascal with the right hand, and hooks to the body, how Pascal deals with Cloud's pressure is key to how this fight will end, IMO. Pascal has a history of slowing down alot in the latter part of fights, Cloud slows down too, but not as much as Pascal. After Pascal builds a slight early lead, Cloud comes on in the middle rounds to take a close decision, or possibly a late round stoppage. Pascal could take a UD, but I have a feeling he'll break down eventually under Clouds pressure in the middle to late rounds, just my opinion though. Great fight though, with guaranteed action.
