Stevenson & Cloud will fight this Sat, Sept 28th in Quebec, Canada LIVE on HBO!
With the drama surrounding Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., and his weight issues, as well as David Haye with a cut postponing the fight he had against Tyson Fury, now rescheduled for February 8, 2014, many boxing fans forgot that “Superman” Adonis Stevenson is fighting this Saturday at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Adonis Stevenson (21-1, 18KO’s) will defend the WBC light heavyweight title against challenger, Tavoris Cloud (24-1, 19KO’s).
In his last appearance, Stevenson floored “Bad” Chad Dawson in only 76 seconds into the first round taking the WBC light heavyweight crown away. “Superman” Stevenson is on a lights out streak, knocking out his last 8 opponents. The last time Adonis Stevenson was involved in a bout that went the entire scheduled rounds was in 2007, when his fight with David Whittom went all 10.
We are familiar with Stevenson’s power, but his foe is to not be overlooked because he does not lack in the power department either. Tavoris Cloud, the former IBF title-holder, had it rough in his last two outings. He lost his IBF title to the living legend, Bernard Hopkins, who continues to defy father time as well as the laws-of aging physics. The match prior to his first defeat, Cloud came close to losing to the tough, Gabriel Campillo.
Come Saturday the 28th, Adonis Stevenson plans to make it no easier for Tavoris Cloud than his last two opponents. We’re talking about two fighters with championship pedigree, who will go to all lengths to show the world that they are both men who came to win and leave a champion. Based on prior fights, I have no doubt that we may not see this scheduled match go the entire 12 rounds.
HBO will televise the Stevenson vs. Cloud bout as well as the Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. vs. Brian Vera match later that day LIVE from Carson, CA from the Home Depot Center. So don’t forget to tune in for an exciting night of HBO Boxing!
