Tonights Fights (Sat 25th June)

Cloud stops him. No offense to Mack, but he's a step below the elite level. Every time he steps up, he loses.

Yup, i'm just hoping for a competitive, action packed fight.

[Hulk]

Its hard not to pick Cloud over Mack considering their recent fights against Glen Johnson. Also Mack being KO'd by Alejandro Berrio.

Mack has talent and a ton of heart, but he has a shaky chin and tends to wilt under extreme pressure.

Cloud brings a lot of pressure and hits very hard so he should stop Yusaf Mack.

The more interesting fight is Matthysse vs. Alexander.

[Master]

Whilst i do not expect Mack to win, he is an exciting fighter and does make things entertaining so hope he can survive to see the final bell.

I can't call the alexander fight. Classic case of alexander not being as good as people say but no where near as bad as others say he is. Just like ortiz going from quit you suck to hey you can beat the best in the sport, he threw that great uppercut against urango and bam ! But then he looses and everyone knew he wasn't crap in the first place all of the sudden. Mathyesse excuse me if that's wrong , is no joke. Zab knew he beat zab, but i really don't know much of him outside that. I know there is someone on here that is a huge supporter of mack so for that i hope he wins, but if i had to bet my paycheck and risk my kids not getting thier toys this month (cause they don't care about food or important stuff) id say cloud stops him. And a lot easier and earlier than glen did.

Bumping this up, maybe we can use this as tonight's fight thread:

June 25
At St. Charles, Mo. (HBO): Devon Alexander vs. Lucas Matthysse, 10 rounds, junior welterweights; Tavoris Cloud vs. Yusaf Mack, 12 rounds, for Cloud's IBF light heavyweight title.

I don't know why Alexander vs. Matthysse is being listed as the main event, Tavoris Cloud vs. Yusaf Mack is the bigger fight, and it's for the IBF Light Heavyweight trinket.

The action starts on HBO B.A.D. @ 9:45 PM EST. PM me if you need a stream, i'll do my best.

I think it's because of the big option Alexander got from HBO from when he signed to fight Bradley. They both got the extra payday after that one.

It wasn't so much that Alexander sucked in his fight with Bradley, (but he really did) as it was the way he basically quit at the end of the fight.
