A compelling fight indeed. If Johnson is just a few yrs younger then NO way do I place this wager. My concern about Cloud is his lack of late rd fights. Early kos look impressive but a good fighter needs to be able to fight strong over the course. We're not sure Cloud can do that. Aside from his last 2, the longest he went was 5. Gonzo offered little resistance and Woods was in his last fight. I do think Woods was very up for the fight and was willing to go through hell to win. If Cloud had a couple more late rd fights then Id bet huge on this. As is, I'm speculating that Johnson isn't the same fighter that nearly beat Dawson 2 yrs ago and that Cloud will simply be too young and physical. We'll find out in a few hours. Should be a hell of a fight!

Anybody know if Spinks/Bund will be available online?
BTW, Alexander now -1800:scared against a guy that "beat" Maidana. I was actually thinking about the under +250 on this. Alexander has been showing pretty good pop as of late and he's only 23. Implies he didn't exactly have his man strength in earlier fights and he's still not fully matured. I know Kot did well v Maidana but Alexander is a MUCH better technical fighter. If Kot gets hit by one of those wicked uppcts, he won't go 12.

It is a good price. Kotelnik has a very good chin and Alexander's might have developed a little more power, but he isn't at the level of Maidana. The speed factor of Alexander should be too much for Kotelnik, so a later KO isn't impossible. I see this fight as a repeat of the Amir Khan fight with Alexander winning by UD 118-110.
Good Luck!
