Cloud vs Pascal: Fight Set For August 11 in Quebec, Showtime Televising - Bad Left Hook

I'm adding a poll.

I know people are down on Cloud after his last fight but I think he'll rise to the occasion and stop Pascal in the late rounds when he fades.

I've got Pascal

[killersheep]

This is a tough call really, Cloud can gas a bit. Pascal although skilled has a bad habit of being a pattern fighter. I picked Pascal Dec. on the poll, but I think Cloud could get to him early.

[Ant Live]

I just havce to believe Pascal learned something after his lose.
Pascal by KO rd 8

Cloud by TKO 6

Tavoris puts the pressure on early, lands good clean shots (taking some in return), and wears Pascal down.


This fight could easily be fight of the year, I love the style matchup

I go for Pascal he could out box Cloud easily, but he will make it into brawl Cloud can brawl but he has
no finesse. I no you love the guy Lyle, but he is just a brawler and if you are honest with yourself
he's very lucky to still have his title, he was well out boxed in his last fight.

Too funny Lyle, get outta here with that shit, yer boy Cloud is going to get schooled, and lose his title by a decison in 'Canada'.

I can see either guy winning. One thing I do not see is Pascal outboxing Cloud. He might outpunch him.

Pascal doesn't box. A guy that boxes: moves, uses the jab, mixes in different punches, moves, avoids punches, etc...

Pascal has bursts of punches then he stops. He hopes and prays that his land and his opponent isn't going to land.

Cloud has a more constant workrate. I think if Pascal can't hurt Cloud early then Cloud wears Pascal down late.

I think Pascal will carve him up. I mean no offense to Cloud or his fans but Pascal could not ask for a better opponent to get back into the picture. He simply will not know how to deal with Pascal’s feints and angles. Post fight he will swear he was fighting a crowd. Always a chance for a hail Marry I suppose.

A lightning bolt will strike in the middle of the ring and Campillo will emerge and proceed to kick both their asses :P

Excellent post!

Pascal wins this by WIDE UD. Anyone know what the going Vegas odds are for this fight? I think Cloud has virtually no chance of winning. Dude is beyond overrated.

You're right about Pascal for sure, however I think he'll just have such an easy time both picking his spots and getting out of the way in this fight that he won't really need to be consistent. He is literally twice as fast as TahBoreUs Cloud, who can't box for shit either incidentally.

[Majesty]

Hopefully they study the tape of the Campillo fight against Cloud if they wanna win.

However here is the thing, Pascal leaves himself open for punches a lot of the time and has a warriors mentality of he doesn't mind taking two to land one and is very aggressive. The thing is he is athletic enough and has enough ability that he could outbox Cloud, but he's probably gonna slug with him. Pascal has been more or less a one and done kind of fighter when it comes to his offense ever since that left shoulder injury. He was a guy that could use angles and fight from them, but more or less lately he's become a bullrusher. He CAN outbox Cloud as he's had the ability to outbox people before, but I don't think he will try to.

[Spicoli]

I like Pascal. Just more gears and has been in deeper. Cloud is an honest straight away guy but lacks imagination and adaptation. He really had the Lacy put to him last out and I think Pascal is shifty enough to survive early and land crisp late. Though a guy with, respectfully, Clouds simplicity and strength could not play into Pascals pacing and indeed force slugging, I just don't see it.

...keep sleeping on Cloud
