How?

You got a guy that is awkward, has power, throws wide punches and gasses. (Pascal)

Vs.

A guy who has power, throws quick short shots down the middle, and doesn't gas. (Cloud)




It's pretty cut and dry to me.

Double post

Looking forward to this fight, should be exciting. I'm going with Cloud though, and possibly late stoppage.

I think pascal is too good for cloud. His stamina is the only issue I have with him.

Will you never learn, sweet pleats?

[BigG]

Pascal's more fighter than he is boxer but Pascal does have some skills hes a better boxer than Cloud for sure. But he's not really slick and I expect this to be a war. I'll go with Pascal by close decision.

[TheFonz]

I think some people are going to shocked at how easily Cloud beats Pascal.

In short this fight fight will be "A war early and a slaughter late".

To me...you have two guys who have tired later in fights.

Pascal's chin is more tested than Cloud's, though I have no reason to believe he cannot take a good shot. Pascal is more explosive, faster and has been in the ring with MUCH better competition.

I like Cloud and enjoy his style and willingness to take chances...but I am hard pressed to see this fight as a gimme.

It's simply a style thing. Pascal is a guy who NEEDS space in order to be effective. He likes to slow things down then explode on his opponents. That style is all wrong for a guy like Cloud. Who's bread and butter is to take space away and fight you on the inside. Pascal has not shown me the skill required to keep a guy like Cloud off of him. Pascal has proven that he can't maintain intensity for 12 rounds where Cloud has gone toe to toe with Glen Johnson and has come out on top. I really see this as an easy fight for Cloud.
