Stevenson by a 5th round KO. It will be a slugfest for the first three rounds, Stevenson will pour it on and it will be too much for Cloud. Stevenson will simply wear him down with punches and with the pace.

What about Stevenson's dodgy chin ?

actually probably the most likely result is stevenson by very fortunate decision

Cloud is a strong light heavy and Stevenson has been knocked out before so I think he gets knocked out here.

Hes not that great a puncher either. Darnell Boone was the one who knocked him out early and he had a rematch this year and it took him longer to get rid of Boone than it did Periban. Periban took him out in 2. It took Stevenson to the 6 th round.

You cant make to much out of the Boone fight or how long it took in the rematch to revenge it. Boone is one of the durable gate keepers that gets beat by guys near his level and troubles guys who are a few steps above him.

I think you can.

Stevenson was extended in to the 6th just this year by Boone. He didnt turn in to superman litterally overnight. Dawsons incompetence has made some believe that Stevenson is something he isnt.

I think Cloud will catch the over rated Stevenson charging in and KO him , wouldn't put my life on it though.

Thats really what I'm thinking. Cloud may come off like an off brand Jeff Lacy in spots but he turns his stuff over nicely down the middle. The ring experience with top class compared to Stevensons is big. Cloud could turn the tables and show some patients and timing here, Stevenson will be doing half the work for him.

I hope the winner fights Bellow next.

Im not the best speller either

;D

All bets are off for me. Both guys have reputations that proceed them, yet one had his deflated and one inflated so I'd imagine that in reality they're actually about even.

Given the above, I agree (coincidently ;D) with erics44.

I don't see how this goes the distance unless it disappoints myself, mainly based on Stevenson. He's a balls to the wall puncher, and as far as I know has never been 12 with anyone half decent. Cloud has shown that he can be kept on a leash and accept a points defeat, but Stevenson probably doesn't have the skills to do it without gassing or leaving himself open. Hopefully Cloud is up for the fight and goes after him, I'm expecting a stoppage before the late rounds for sure.

Cloud is going to smash Stevenson, it won't even be close. Stevenson is going to be a one-hit wonder.

I'm putting a few quid on cloud...

I actually thought cloud did pretty good v hopkins... I was exceptionally drunk when i watched teh fight but my scorecard was very close... I dont know mmuch about this stevenson fellow bar the 1st round ko of dawson but I have a feeling he isnt too great and cloud is going to out work him in a good fight that goes the distance... so i went and bet 4 quid on cloud to win by points at 10/1.... not bad

I think Cloud handles Stevenson power better than Stevenson will handles Cloud's. But we'll see

Same. Cloud via KO at 4/1 is the value bet. Might not happen but its the value bet.
