Johnson vs Cloud Boxing Odds

HBO
August 7
TBA, Saint Louis, Missouri
Devon Alexander vs. Andreas Kotelnik (IBF/WBC junior welterweight championship)
Tavoris Cloud vs. Glen Johnson (IBF light heavyweight championship)

Saturday August 7th on HBO Championship Boxing a classic match-up between a hungry young champion and an aging veteran contender will go down when Tavoris Cloud faces Glen Johnson.

Former world light heaveyweight champion Glen "The Road Worrior" Johnson gets ready to do battle with the newly minted I.B.F championTavoris Cloud. The fight was originally scheduled for March when Cloud pulled out due to a leg injury. Live from the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, MO, these two fighters who give nothing but fits to their opponents with their warring styles will meet in the 175 pound weight division.

The 28-year old I.B.F champion Cloud, 20-0, 18 KO’s, is the complete package with size, speed, skills and bone-crushing power. Cloud gave Woods a sustained beating over 12-rounds in his best performance of his career to take the title strap by force.

Glen Johnson: Since starting his boxing journey at the age of 20, the Jamaican born Johnson fought his amateur career in Miami, FL, compiling an amateur record of 35 wins 5 losses, and won the Florida State Golden Gloves competition twice.

Johnson, 50-13-2, 34 KO’s, rebounded from a surprisingly one-sided loss to W.B.C champ Chad Dawson to impressively KO fringe contender Yusaf Mack in his last bout.

Will Johnson still be packing some heat when he steps into the ring against Cloud? If so, this fight has potential fight of the year written all over it.
