Tavoris Cloud vs. Bernard Hopkins - Saturday night chat/fight thread

[Spicoli]

Cloud has to win this fight 1 way, EFFECTIVE PRESSURE. Cloud has to hound Hopkins all night, hit with bad intentions wherever you can land, try to pary or slip as much from Hopkins as possible but never let him breathe, never let him clinch or tie up....keep the hands working and the head moving. Hopkins legs will leave him and you can corner the old man and once that happens throw the kitchen sink at him!

Sounds like a pefect plan. I just have to wonder with his heavy forward foot if Hopkins will feint him out of one boot or two before he counters

on a side note it just occured to me we'll have to sit and watch Don King parade around in that crusty blue denim jacket and his rats nest of a hairdo. Wonderful

It'll be interesting to watch Hops' expressions when his old promoter DK starts parading around the ring, i'm sure there's no love lost between these 2 ex-cons.

Hopkins 174.4 - Cloud 173.8

Last 2 fights Hopkins weighed 173 & 1/2

Last 3 fights Cloud has weighed 175...looks like Abel Sanchez at the very least has made Tavoris work hard in training camp

I was always a big Hopkins fan. Now I'm tired of seeing his old ass. I hope Cloud can retire him for good.
