MONTREAL - Two-time Russian Olympian Artur Beterbiev (5-0-0, 5 KOs) steps up in class this Saturday night (Sept. 27) as he headlines "Red Dawn" against former International Boxing Federation (IBF) light heavyweight champion Tavoris "Thunder" Cloud (24-2-0, 19 KOs) in the 12-round main event for the vacant North American Boxing Association (NABA) 175-pound title at famed Bell Centre in Montreal.

This fight is more interesting than most of SHO's 2014 schedule. GYM is in bed with SHO. Yet this fight has no American TV.

That's boxing...

This is a hell of an interesting fight, ****** ****ing network BS.

HBO used to pay Cloud a kings ransom to fight once year. What was the point?

Showtime probably doesn't have the budget for it, plus I doubt they're very interested in a foreigner and an opponent who is inactive and lost to Hopkins and Stevenson recently. If Beterbiev wins impressively, it seems more likely HBO would snatch him up as he'd be more welcomed there. I just hope there's a good way to watch this fight.

Who is the other black boxer that they were showing in the pics? He looked like he was standing next to Cloud's opponent but it wasn't Cloud and I have seen that guy fight before, just can't remember his name.

Strange matchup, one guy over the hill and the other inexperienced.

Dierry Jean. Got outclassed by Pederson. Nothing special.

Clitoris Cloud is ruined. Was once kind of promising but seems to have gone the Jeff Lacy route.

Beterbiev is with GYM. GYM isn't going to do business with HBO.
