Cloud has not been the same since the Campillo fight - he has made his $ and does not seem interested anymore. He laid down, no veteran tactics, he did not try to see if Beterbiev could go some rounds , nothing.... Campillo started the downfall, Bhop put the nail in the coffin. Beterbiev did what he had to do - get him in there with Fonfara, that's a test..

Cloud fought like a guy who had never been in a tough spot before. To come up with his chin as he hooked like that, leaving himself totally prone to the counter hook, was what a rookie would do. It makes you question how tough his sparring has been historically. He should know how to handle a tight situation better than that as a guy having fought for a world title.

Campilio has gone 12 rounds...Hopkins has gone 12 rounds...what did Beterbiev? Beterbiev has gone 2 rounds.
U can be strong ,weak or whatever u want but the Chin will be always the same...

He got caught while trying to clinch and never recovered. Simple as that.

Kovalev is shook. He doesn't want to run into this guy again.

Cloud got up off the canvas three times.

He never "laid down", he was knocked down.

Too bad GYM banished themselves... I wonder if he'll match him up against Stevenson...probably not

Exactly, I think he may have had his jaw broken in the first knockdown and then he wasn't right.

I'll be very interested in who he fights next.

Perhaps Campillo, because he needs some experience against slick boxers. And it wouldn't hurt to keep him busy against Dawson, Shumenov, Murat, Agnew, and Sillakh.

Someone like Fonfara or Chilemba would provide a tough test.
