The_budweiser Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Pascal hand injury postpones Aug. 11 title fight vs. Cloud Written by Bob Trieger MONTREAL (July 26, 2012) - The much-anticipated showdown between undefeated International Boxing Federation (IBF) light heavyweight champion Tavoris Cloud (24-0, 19 KOs), of Tallahassee, Fla., and popular hometown favorite and former World Boxing Council (WBC) light heavyweight titleholder Jean Pascal (26-2-1, 16 KOs), scheduled for August 11 live on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on SHOWTIME®, has been postponed to a later date due to a right-hand injury sustained by Pascal during a sparring session 1 ½ weeks ago. "To tell you the truth, Pascal said at yesterday's press conference in Montreal, "I was so sad when the decision was made that I even cried. This is the first time it's happened to me for a fight. I haven't fought in 15 months and this was a golden opportunity for me. Thanks to everybody involved for rescheduling. This will make me stronger when I get in the ring."
