He goes straight into the top 10 imo. Cloud is currently #8 TBR, and #7 Ring Magazine. If you beat the guy you take his spot, or at least enter the top 10.

Yes, obviously.

For people in the UK, Boxnation are showing this fight.

I know little of the other guy but I'm rooting for him.

Always funny to see the bum Cloud get humiliated.

Guy only had 8 fights or however many but if he's any good he'll beat Cloud.

[IronDanHamza]

He's had 5 fights and 11 rounds.

Tavoris Cloud is a recent world titleholder who had several successful defenses and he's only ever lost to very good opponents, so he's NOT as bad as you make him out to be. He's never been knocked down in his entire career.

It's not fair to call him a bum.

I've had Tavoris Cloud losing to every single decent fighter he's fought.

He has no wins over anyone other than bums.

He struggled badly with Yusuf Mack for crying out loud. The guys a complete bum.

Still, it would be impressive if this guy were to beat him in his 6th fight. Never seen him fight but I hope he wins.

It's easy for a child to sit at a keyboard and call former world champions and contenders bums.

But anybody who makes it to world-class level in a very difficult and demanding sport like boxing deserves some respect.

Far from a child and I respect all fighters.

I'm talking in comparison to other fighters at the top level, and Cloud simply is not very good.

It will still be an impressive win for the guy should he win.

Does anybody know when the Cloud fight will probably start?, i'm going to get some sleep first and have no interest in the undercard. Cheers.

I'm not sure, but likely at about 9:30 PM Eastern time.

Thanks, i'll get an hour or 2 of rest then.
