Seminole Hard Rock Casino, Hollywood, FL
(ESPN 2) Tavoris Cloud (19-0, 18 KOs) vs. Clinton Woods (42-4-1, 24 KOs) (IBF 175 lb. title) Odds/Prediction: Cloud 7-5. Woods no Bob Foster, but he may have a little left. Won’t be enough here. Cloud UD.
Juan Urango (21-2-1, 16 KOs) vs. Randall Bailey (39-6, 35 KOs) (IBF 140 lb. title) Odds/Prediction: Juan 9-5. Close on paper. In the ring? Let’s see if Bailey has anything left to make this competitive.

Casino Montreal, Montreal, Canada
Joachim Alcine (30-1) vs. Eric Mitchell (22-5-1) Odds/Prediction: JA 3-1. Mitchell does enough NOT to get hurt! Think Alcine’s the better pug here. But he’s been off 13 months, thus no wager.
David Lemieux (16-0, 16 KOs) vs. Baldomir Hernandez (18-2, 16 KOs) Odds/Prediction: David 14-5. Favorite holds the cards here.
