Comments Thread For: Artur Beterbiev Batters Tavoris Cloud For 2nd Round KO

[JakeNDaBox]

Sergey Kovalev and Bernard Hopkins square off later this year in a bout with three light heavyweight belts at stake. Adonis Stevenson is the recognized lineal light heavyweight king.

All three need to begin looking over their collective shoulders, because Artur Beterbiev is already hot on the trail.

The former amateur standout from Russia - who now calls Montreal home - stepped up in class but looked like a world beater in annhilating former light heavyweight titlist Tavoris Cloud. Four knockdowns led to a second round knockout in their main event Saturday evening at Bell Centre in Montreal, Canada. [Click Here To Read More]

I thought he'd win... didn't think he'd beat the dog shit out of Cloud that fast

beat the stank off cloud

[DoktorSleepless]

Don't get why Ring had Cloud ranked Top 5 when he's essentially coming off 3 uncompetitive loses.

The Russians/Eastern Euro's are taking over LHW. Beterbiev seems legit, KOvalev is whether he wins or loses against B-Hop. The dude out of Robert Garcia's gym, Gvozdyk is the goods too, and the gold medalist Mekhontsev might be real too

Yes, Cloud has been very durable, in fact he'd never been down in a fight.

I thought Beterbiev would need a few rounds to break him down.

And jesus motha f... I was expecting Beterbiev to win, I wasn't expecting that s#it tho.

They're doing it to hype up Stevenson and Hopkins and make it seem like they're going up against relevant competition. But that won't fool us boxing fans. We knew that Cloud was never good.

This is exactly the same Cloud who faced Hopkins and Stevenson. He was just never good to begin with. This had nothing to do with one fighter taking away his soul or w/e. It's the same guy who took a savage beating against a very underrated fighter.

Yvon Michel said that it cost lots of $ to bring Cloud. Expect to lose money on promotion but expect backing from network for Beterbiev now

Because the LHW division is kind of thin and he was a name who had a belt. I think they had Murat up there for a while too.... after his loss

It's like this.....old man Hopkins will beat Kovalev and Kovalev will crush this guy.
