Stevenson VS Cloud nearly done for the fall at the Bell Centre

and the winner has to face Bellew within 90 days...

I guess Stevenson will pretty much be the man at 175 for a long time huh..

Thoughts?

amazingly enough, B-Hop has the defense, experience, and ring smarts to be in there with Stevenson, making it an interesting fight, one in which I wouldn't rule him out in winning

B-Hop could beat him for sure apparently no one wants to buy that fight though, HBO truly hates Golden Boy to turn down such a good fight and Showtime is focused on the young guys.

Cloud surely has to "do" something before another prime time slot ??? He's basically been schooled in his last two fights over the last two years.

HBO is desperate, Showtime didn't want Cotto-K9 but HBO will buy Delvin-Cotto, so HBO is now taking fights Showtime wouldn't add in the fact that Top Rank will only have 2 shows on HBO in 6 months and Cloud-Stevenson actually makes sense.

Love Cloud but he missed his window. He's more of a pressure fighter and he's older....not good. But if there's someone he could beat it might be Stevenson

Although fan friendly this fight is meaningless from a divisional stand point and is another example of HBO interference. If not for Hopkins being GBP and by default then Showtime that would have been the fight to make since he just schooled Cloud and the historic significance attached. I'd wager HBO gets Stevenson to bypass Bellew also since nobody knows who he is.

Stevenson should fight Bellow in the UK.
