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) with erics44.

Original & Best: The Sugar Man
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.
They need to do a special on the Hopkins curse.
Props to you guys and its not like Cloud was a bad pick. The reservations on Stevenson are totally understandable.
Haha, guilty as well. I'd still pick a few people over Stevenson I think, but he showed much better boxing ability than I expected for sure. Had anyone here seen him before he iced Dawson, or possibly fought Darnell Boone as well? Wasn't a lot to go by.
I think what can be said is that Cloud is pretty pedestrian, he just doesn't have the ability to deal with much of anything. In hindsight the gift he got against Campillo looks pretty woeful as well, I figured he was still a capable pressure fighter but seems not![]()
I wonder who King has left? Cloud retired.
Is Stevenson that good, or was Cloud that bad,! I've never really been sold on Cloud I find him plodding
and slow, no head movement slow feet.
Cloud is tough good power, but easy to out box is Stevenson that good I feel not, but he was good
enough to beat Cloud, is Stevenson the best in the division NO I don't think so.
Fact.
I had Molitor heading towards the P4P list, Bute smashing Froch, Pascal being a flash in the pan (FWIW I still think you can argue he beat Hopkins in their rematch), Stevenson being a place-holder for a real titlist like Cloud... I can't think of any other Canadian fighters, but if you can name one then I bet I can come up with a completely wrong prediction about them.
Oddly enough, aside from Molitor, I can't stand any Canadian fighters.
Well in your defence Molitor is the only relevant fighter in years who is actually Canadian![]()
