Stevenson vs. Cloud is a nice match-up, and a fight which has fallen a bit under the radar due to the upcoming Floyd Mayweather vs. Saul Alvarez bout, which has served to dominate the sport right now. But in the wake of that, this will be a solid fight to look forward to, with each man bringing something to the table to challenge his opponent.
