IBF Light Heavyweight Title Odds: Tavoris Cloud vs Gabriel Campillo
Friday, February 17, 2012
by Bovada Sportsbook
Tavoris Cloud has been the IBF Light Heavyweight champion for over two years now, and putting together a bout against one of the other top-ranked fighters in the division has been nearly impossible. So once again he will defend his title against an inferior opponent; Gabriel Campillo (21-3-1) will be the next challenger for Cloud’s IBF title and will likely need the performance of a lifetime to walk away as the new champion.

The undefeated Cloud (22-0) will be coming off an impressive TKO win over Yusaf Mack which saw him throw punches at a blistering pace for over seven rounds. The most dangerous thing in this fight could be Cloud himself if he can’t find the motivation to fight another questionable title contender who is below his class. If he is focused on the task at hand it should be another day at the office for the IBF Light Heavyweight champ.
Campillo will be coming off a disappointing re-match draw with Karo Murat and boasts a record of 2-1-1 in his last four fights. His best chance of winning against Cloud will consist of keeping his distance and landing straight punches. He will need to make Cloud feel his punches and respect his power early on if he hopes to walk out of the ring as the new IBF Light Heavyweight champ.
Cloud will need to do what he does best and make the fight a close-quarter battle. If he’s able to get up in Campillo’s face the way he’s done with most of his opponents thus far it should be an easy night for the champion, resulting in his fourth title defense and putting him a step closer to a fight with Bernard Hopkins, Jean Pascal, or Chad Dawson.
