So now a failed middleweight is who they pick to fight Tavoris Cloud. Don King is a joke.
Zuniga, who who will move up from super middleweight for the fight got the shot after others turned it down, including Otis Griffin and Yusaf Mack. Quote: "Those other guys turned it down. They demanded a lot of money, but Don King made a very fair offer". Since when is $12,000 a "very fair offer" for a title fight? This is not a true test for Cloud, the guy's been KO'd by Pavlik & Bute.

It's better than sitting around. I have no problem with bum of the month. I think more guys should do it, I don' think it should be done against a guy moving up though who has been KO'd numerous times. This can be a recipe for disaster. Not a bad way to build a fan base, Cloud has fought a lot of bums. What the fuck is Dawson up to? If i were him I'd be looking to fight Cloud.

Dawson is just going to sit around and wait for another HBO date, shows how much he cares about his legacy.

HBO want to make Cloud vs Dawson next year, I hope it happens.

more fighters should be in more fights like this. They arent the biggest pay days and they do settle to fight bums, but it keeps them active.

Liking Cloud's attitude

Zuniga should give him some rounds before going down

Zuniga got stopped by Pavlack at 160 and then KTFO by Bute's body shot at 168. At 175.. Cloud will do this to him
