Paul Williams vs. Nobuhiro Ishida - Saturday night fight thread

[Rantcatrat]

I like Williams over Ishida. I think he'll outwork him over the distance.

In the other fight, I wouldn't sleep on Campillo. He has a style that "could" cause some trouble for Cloud. I still like Tavoris to come away with the W...but Campillo is a live dog IMO.

Campillo is a Spanish pug, (actually from Spain) other than winning the WBA Light Heavyweight Title from Beibut Shumenov, (and then losing it to the same guy) his record isn't too remarkable. Campillo lacks power, only 8 KO's in 26 Pro fights, which isn't a good thing against a guy like Cloud. Hopefully however, we'll get to see a competitive fight, although I wouldn't mind seeing Tavoris make a statement and flatten this dude.

It should be mentioned that Campillo was robbed against Shumenov in that second fight and robbed in the draw against Murat. His record isn't too remarkable, but either is Cloud's really. This is a good test for Cloud. At least it's as good of a test as anyone on his record besides maybe Glen Johnson. If Cloud smashes through Campillo, he solidifies himself as the wrecking ball in the division.
