Thread: Cloud vs Gonzalez

Is anyone excited like I am for the August 8th fight? I think it will be an interesting fight. I hear Cloud has a great attitude and works real hard in camp, but he is really steping up in class. If he ko's this guy he will become a big name in the LH division. I Still dont know which way I am leaning. Anybody have thoughts on the fight?

Shit yes!! I am...

Been following Cloud since fight #5 when I 1st saw him and I think the kids as talented as they come. Fast hands decent power although the power hasn't been tested at a high level.

I hope he shines under those bright lights come fight night. The kids worked hard and it's go time.

The sheer thought of a potential matchup vs. another kid who I saw from very early on gives me chills...

BCD vs. Cloud.... Wow!! Now that would be sweet. Both tall tho BCDs taller ortho vs. south, young...

As far as Cloud vs. Gonzalez although past his best days JCG has never been stopped so a stoppage here for Cloud would be big IMO.

I like you excitment! Will find out tomorrow if my kid(Mack) gets an ESPN date. Need to move up in the WBA rankings currently we are 10.

Very excited about this. I think we could be in for a short round destruction though. I'm a big fan of Gonzalez but have taken a liking to Cloud too. Lots of power, good short puncher and I think a taller opponent like Gonzalez who gives up his height (prepare to see Teddy go crazy) and with a shaky chin is pretty much just what the doctor ordered for Cloud to have a Diaconu-Hoye like breakout performance. Still, Gonzalez is all action and no doubt Cloud will have to walk through punches to get to Gonzalez like everyone does with Julio. But Gonzalez almost got stopped by Vitali Kopitko, I can't imagine he will be withstanding Cloud for long.

This is a good fight.

A good step up & potential break out fight for Cloud. I don't know if he stops Gonzalez cause the guy is tough as nails... he may go down but keeps getting up!

Should be a very entertaining bout IMO.

Is there anyone of note that Gonzalez hasn't fought at 175? He fought the best of the division & that experience makes him a dangerous test for Tavoris.

I love watching these types of fights play out!

Very interested in the fight
