Cloud was awful and this was a very boring fight.

      All these guys fight Hopkins and look "awful " and have the worst fight of their careers. At some point you have to realize its Hopkins who makes them look bad.

      Pavlik
      Trinidad
      Johnson
      Tarver
      Cloud
      Pascal
      Calzaghe
      Etc.

        5/2? Seriously?
        I got 6/4 at William Hill! That is nearly double the odds I got!

        Mind you I only put a feeble £12 on as I was a bit worried he might not get the nod but a profits a profit I guess.

        I think I am going to have to find a new bookies, William Hill seems to always pay rather poor.

          Betfred tend to give the best odds from what I gather.

          Just check OddsChecker and they tell you all the odds and markets accorss all the bookies.

            Abel Sanchez told Cloud to throw an overhand right instead of a straight right because Hopkins was rolling with his shoulder and dipping to his right. Good advice actually.

              Odds must of changed in Clouds favour ever so slightly, I got 6/4 this morning.
              Bit gutted I didn't put more on but I just had a nagging doubt over the judging.

                None of those fighters were embarrassed by Campillo level fighters or struggled with Mack level fighters.

                Cloud is more comparable to Jeff Lacy than he is those fighters listed.

                  I was all set to put £100 but pulled out last minute because judges have been ever favourable to Cloud.

                  Seriously can't believe I didn't pull the trigger on an outcome so clearly obvious.

                  Been literally shouting from the rooftops for weeks that Hopkins would embarrass Cloud then I don't even go through with the bet because of the fear of corruption.

                  That's Boxing.

                    I think there is a Betfred in town. If so I'll start betting there if they're offering better odds as I'm in town most days anyway.

                    I do check that site from time to time and I'm not even sure we have most of the companies around here. I think some maybe online ones.

                      I agree. I know what he saw. He was looking to throw a looping punch over Hopkins shoulder to connect around the ear area.

                      My problem is Hopkins is too crafty and will see that **** coming. Cloud already telegraphs his punches enough as is.
