TAVORIS
CLOUD RETURNS TO CHICAGO ON FEBRUARY 16TH--REVISED
(FEB 8) The Tallahassee, Florida native,
Cloud has quickly built a national reputation as one of the most feared
young light heavyweights in boxing. Using a vast array of boxing skills
which belie his youth combined with outstanding power, Cloud has built
his record to 13-0 with twelve knockouts since turning pro two years
ago.
In his last outing on November 10th, Cloud stunned a packed house at
Cicero Stadium with an electrifying fourth round knockout of Douglas
LaFontsee. Norwood from Hattiesburg, MS sports a record of 22-7-2
(11KO’s).
Said Cloud after finishing up a recent sparring session in Miami, “I
haven’t seen Norwood fight but I prepare to be at my very best for each
fight. At this point it’s important that I concentrate on what I need to
do when the bell rings.”
Speaking about his popular reputation for brutal knockouts in the last
year in Chicago, Cloud said, “I don’t look for knockouts. I’m skilled
enough to outbox many of the guys I face but I also know how to close
the show when it’s time.”
Discussing the upcoming year, Cloud said, “I’m looking forward to
stepping up the competition and showing the boxing world what I can do.
I plan on being in the top ten at 175 by the end of 2007.”
For his last words about his bout next Friday night, Cloud said, “Folks
know when it’s 9pm how it goes down. I’m bringing the fans up there some
heat to break the winter chill.”
Said Pesoli, “Tavoris has all the tools to be a world champion. This is
going to be a
big year for him. We look forward to showing the world what Chicagoland
fight fans already know.”
