Tavoris Cloud TKO1 1:23 Michael Wood 
This Tavoris Cloud is presently one of the best-kept secrets in the world of boxing. He’s probably the best fighter that no one is talking about. But that’s about to change, because knockouts like this don’t go unnoticed for long. This fight was for the vacant NABA/NABO/USBA Light-Heavyweight Championship, but it clearly belonged to Cloud before Wood even got gloved up. After a big Cloud left hook evokes a “didn’t hurt me” smile from Wood, a perfectly-timed right hook sends Wood down hard. He gets up slowly, in no hurry to get more punishment like that, but a quick barrage of punches from Cloud sends Wood down again, and the referee stopped the fight at 1:23 of round one. This kid is a STAR, and with three national titles around his waist, he will be ready to get in with the best in the division, including Tarver, Woods, Johnson, and Dawson. I just hope THEY are ready!

Louis Turner TKO5 David Saunders
Chicagoland was treated to a Fight of the Year candidate in Angel “Toro” Hernandez vs. Louis Turner late last year. The action in that fight was referred to by ESPN.com’s Dan Rafael as “an old-school beating disguised as a legal boxing match”. It’s a fight that will be talked about for years to come all over the area. This fight offered some fireworks, too, but Turner didn’t have a Hernandez to rub up against this time. Saunders, owner of a 9-4 record, has an impressive chin, which he needed all night against Turner, whose left hooks and straight rights pounded on that chin again and again. In the third round, Turner lands a killer left hook on the chin of Suanders, 
but goes down, himself, on a slip. He got up, resumed business, and had Saunders in immediate trouble again on the ropes. At least twice, Turner performed a move very reminiscent of the late, great Floyd Patterson with a leaping “gazelle” hook.In the fourth, just as Turner has Saunders staggered, the lights in the arena go out, all for the most basic inner lights. To the dismay of the ringside photographers, the action continued in near darkness, prompting the question, “Why is the fight continuing?” Turner didn’t need all the lights on to find his target, though, and midway through the fifth round he connects with a five-punch combination, sending Saunders to the mat extremely hard for the TKO at 2:40.
Carl Davis UD Jermell BarnesDavis, at 232 lbs, looks like a man you wouldn’t want to tangle with. He’s rather tall, very muscular, and has a reach longer than most heavies, I’d imagine. 
His jab is probably his best weapon, too, which will serve him well as he moves up the heavyweight ranks. And the way the division looks at the top, I’m sure there’s room for another Chicago heavy to sit at the table with Oliver McCall, Andrew Golota, and Mike Mollo. The only real problem I see with Davis is the position of his right hand during his snappy left jab. He holds his right just a bit lower than he should, and opposition better than Barnes could possibly expose that as a weakness. On this night, however, Davis was the heavyweight boss in Chicago, and he essentially skated to an easy unanimous decision over a game, but overmatched, Barnes. 78-74 (twice) and 79-73, all for Davis.
Johnathan Suarez UD Guy Packer Suarez, fighting in only his third professional fight, 
showed plenty of heart and determination in this win over Packer, who owns a record of 2-17-2. Suarez has to know that the opposition he’ll face early on in his career will be crude at best, and Packer is no exception. Packer never really seemed to bother Suarez, but the cautiousness of Suarez to engage had better leave him soon, or he may miss opportunities he’d otherwise receive. He did the job on this night, though, and good for him. Judges: 39-36, 40-35, and 38-37, all for Suarez.
