What are your thoughts on Tovaris Cloud?

Question

Did anyone see the main event on Friday Night Fights?

Answer 1

NOT MUCH FEW MORE FIGHTS.GO FROM THERE

Answer 2

Yeah, I saw it and he looked very impressive to me.  Granted, Julio Gonzalez is a bit "long in the tooth", but he was still a major step up from the stiffs that Cloud had been facing prior to him.  Gonzalez was a former world titlist and his first real test and Cloud passed with flying colors.  I wasn't sure about his power because of the competition that he had previously faced, but he showed that his power was for real- even his jab was moving Gonzalez back.   He showed awesome power and good handspeed, but the one thing I think that he's lacking in is defense.  There were a few points in the fight where Gonzalez was outworking him simply because Cloud wasn't keeping his hands up and moving out of the way.  Other than that, it was a great performance and I look forward to seeing him fight again, but I'd like to see him face a few more fighters like Gonzalez before getting a title shot even though he is now the IBF mandatory.  I think that a fight with Shaun George (guy who recently knocked out Chris Byrd) would be great, or even someone like Montell Griffin.
