Comments Thread For: Artur Beterbiev vs. Tavoris Cloud is Explored for 9/27

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

According to sources in southern Russia, former two-time Olympian, two-time European and one-time world amateur champion Artur Beterbiev (4-0, 4 KOs), who now competes under the aegis of Groupe Yvon Michel, can have his dream of fighting a world champion (albeit a former one) come true on Sep. 27 at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec.

Beterbiev is said to be fighting none other than WBC #9 and WBA #15 ex-IBF light heavyweight champion Tavoris Cloud (24-2, 19 KOs), who is coming off disastrous 2013 with losses to Bernard Hopkins and Adonis Stevenson.

What a step up. To fight a ex world champion in his 5 fight. He must good.

[Hougigo]

Are these new Olympic rules set?

Loma and Shiming still qualify if it's just under 15 pro fights... I don't know much other than that

[The Hammer]

This is one I'll be looking forward to.

If Bieber can take a punch, he can probably beat Cloud... Cloud Garbage

Hell, Beterbiev is good and punches like a MFer, but this a huge step up if true.

Not only that, but he got clipped a coupla times in his last fight by a nobody - not badly and it was simply due to being over-eager in looking for the stoppage, but that kind of carelessness will be punished at a higher level.

Will be keeping an eye on this one, I don't rate Cloud, but he's tough and can ****... if Beterbiev can get through him he'll have to be considered at least a contender in the division.

This should be the final nail in the coffin for Clouds career.

Probably, especially with the shelf King has kept him on
