Is Bellew Vs Cleverly really as big a mismatch as everyone is going on?

    What's Bellew ever done to prove he's even a bigger puncher than Clev?

    Still a good interesting fight (dampened slightly by the winner pretending to be on a par with Bernard Hopkins as Light Heavyweight World Champion), but a mismatch IMO and I can't see Bellew winning.

    But what if he puts on another boxing "masterclass"?

    Exactly. A decent enough match up, but this should be for the British title, not some joke "World" title.

    I got nothing against Bellew.

    But this is Wales V England.

    I got to support the Welshman.

    And while Bellew may have a bangers chance - for the good of the sport - its best that the fighter who has the best career prospects wins - so he can move onto bigger and better things - while the other fighter - can accept defeat and find his own level.

    Clev is clearly the better fighter - with World Class prospects - so its best he wins - and gos on to fight for IBF and WBA and WBC titles.

    And Bellew can then say he fought a good world champion and lost - and find his own level of achievement.

    Cleverly can winn as long as he steers clear of a pre-fight meal at Kevin's Fish and Chips, Toxteth.

    Admitedly - Vince's brand new Kia Sedona which he has just purchased on HP is a fitting carriage for the world champion, with cup holders, generously proportioned glovebox, 60/40 split rear seats and fully functioning headlights. :bbb

    Not as bigger a mismatch as the winner against Hopkins which ****** is trying to make.

    Frank hasn't tried to make that, and won't for the foreseeable future.

    Bellew has to stand his ground and just throw his bombs. I hope he doesnt try to box from the outside it will be boring. They hate each other so stand there and sort it out like men
