    Bellew, and by KO.

    I don't expect much from both at the weight at all though, wich Tony already demonstrated last weekend.

    Would need to see cleverly at cruiserweight before making an opinion. Bellew didn't look great but is naturally bigger which may negate cleverlys strengths at cruiser.

    First fight was close but cleverlys work rate down the stretch won him the fight for sure

    Its early days and we don't know how Cleverly will look at CW, but Bellew looks a different beast at the weight.
    He looked healthy at the weigh in, looked fit in the ring, and seemed to have plenty of speed and pop in his punches.Watch the videos of Bellew prior to the Stevenson fight, he looks like a skeleton, and his skin was grey.
    He did get hurt the other night, but i think it was more to do with him getting sloppy than being beaten to the punch.
    He's Marmite, but i think he's a decent fella who just plays up to the camera's, i think he could have a good run at CW provided he puts the effort in.

    This fight needs to happen soon, before either take a big loss at the weight.

    Bellew wins for me

    Depends on what state of mind Cleverly is in... seems to be lost after suffering his first defeat.

    At this moment in time I would have to say Bellew but if Cleverly gets it together could be a very similar fight to the first.

    All these Bellew easily posts :patsch

    If it was Clev that posted here you would all have different opinions. Fact is, the first fight wasnt even that close, people make out it was 50/50 when Clev won clearly!

    Don't no what your getting at I put it in simple terms he will get beat again because cleverly has higher work rate tony tried to fight last time and was out fought simple.

    Bellew boxed out of skin in the first fight and still lost by two clear rounds

    o do think that bellew is a more natural cruiser. i think if they fought again it would be proper and both get time to train and cleverly will probably have at least one fight at cruiser before they boxed. bellew has the power to stop him but my pick would be cleverly tooutpunch him and win on points

    Depends how Cleverly holds the weight, so will have to reserve judgement until we see him at CW.
