Cleverly asks Frank to make the Bellew fight - Page 6

If Bellew leave Fisheyes there is a good chance that he will never see his rematch but personally I'd prefer the rematch when they are both world champs. I have no doubt that Bells is capable. Same goes for Groves - Degale, both capable and would be much bigger fights (much bigger for British boxing)

If this doesn't happen this year, I can't see it happening in the short/medium term.

If (and its a big if) they both become big/world titlists maybe there'll just be too much money at stake and it'll have to happen!

Stranger things have happened. I couldn't imagine a Chisora/Haye fight at Upton Park on Boxnation 12 months ago!

Hopefully this happens, Bellew deserved the nod in the first fight. Cleverly deserves some credit for at least putting a small degree of pressure on Frank to make the fight, regardless of whether it happens.

I thought the atmosphere was amazing which made it seem better than it was. When I watched it back I didn't think Bellew ever really looked like winning.

I agree. Bellew was really in total control and if he didn't get robbed by his stamina he would have won clearly.

Bellew should move to Matchroom/Sky (which he is apparently), and get built up Brook-style i.e. fight fringe world level/euro contenders. He'll probably beat them and look pretty good.

Clev should also fight some world level guys in the meantime.

In 12 months time both will have improved, not only their ability but their standing/ranking so its a no brainer that the rematch would be better AND make them more money.

IMO Clev beat Bellew in his backyard, with a shorter than normal training camp and an injured rib. If they fought now, in Wales I can only see a wider decision win for Clev.

that might be a problem!
