    Clev lost to the better fighter and to be frank at least he went out on his shield unlike big talk Bellew.

    "The last time I watched that the gob****e lost me a load of money because I had money on him to win."

    HAHA.

    “He keeps bragging about how hard Kovalev hits: ‘he hit me on the arms and it was like and it was getting hit but nothing I’ve ever seen’.

    I wonder if Cleverly eats Bellews shots this weekend, does that mean Kovalev punches harder than a cruiserweight? Or did Clev's punch resistance go up with the weight (unlikely)

    I think it's very possible Kovalev still punches much harder than Bellew even at CW, power being almost the only thing going for Bellew in this fight, it might not be enough especially now that Clev has felt the power of a Kovalev he might just shrug Bellews shots off.

    Ofcourse if Bellew lands a flush hook it will most likely be over, but it will have to land perfectly to put Clev away.

    To be fair, a beating like that would wipe your memory!

    Crazy how everyone thinks bellew is just some banger. Almost all his trainers have said his skills are up there with anyone in the gym.

    just as an example his footwork is way superior to nathans.

    Then again 95% of boxer footwork is superior to nathans. for a prefessional boxer his footwork is terrible.

    Bellew looked the worse of the two in their title defeats , bellew talks to much it's like he's trying to convince himself he can win

    Yes Nathan's footwork isn't the best but can be worked upon but he's got hand speed which in most cases you have or you havent

    You think cleverly will allow bellew to use his 'superior footwork'? I can guarantee one thing you won't see in this fight is Bellew dancing to a decision :rofl

    Clev will be on him like a rash and Bellew's so called footwork will be nowhere to be seen.

    Has bellew forgotten the chicken dance he did against super middleweight Stevenson? Who isn't even as good as kovalev. At least cleverly didn't run the entire fight after claiming he was ready to die in the ring and that he was going to prove all the idiots on the forums wrong :lol:

    What a tit bellew is.

    Bellew's had a bee in his bonnet about Kovalev for a while now too. Some of the criticisms he's leveled at him have been strange. He said he gasses late in fights. How does he know gasses late in fights when he hadn't seen him in the late rounds before? To clarify he said that long before Kovalev had fought B-Hop. He also said he's just a puncher. Probably one of the reasons why he was so convinced B-Hop was going to beat him. Wrong on both accounts. He also said that Kovalev and his team are avoiding punchers. Bellew even kept banging on about them keeping him away from punchers after it became abundantly clear that Kovalev and his team were doing everything in their power to try a force Adonis Stevenson into a ring with him, the same Adonis Stevenson Bellew said was ''one of the top 3 biggest punchers P4P in the sport'' and whose shots ''felt like they were crunching bones''. :patsch

    He touches on some of them in this video.

    How exactly did bellew do better in the Stevenson fight, he lasted more rounds? At least cleverly gave it a go not fight like a ****house

    I actually hope Cleverly knocks out this fool. I was on the fence and wasn't bothered who wins but now I'll be rooting for Cleverly. Bellew has shown himself up the last few weeks.

    Bellew got battered by a "midget", not many people lost money on him because not many believed he could beat that "midget".

    Bellew is trying to convince himself about beating Cleverly now in my opinion, constantly contradicts himself and is making himself look a fool.

    I hope Cleverly stops him, a points win is not good enough now, a stoppage win for Cleverly would basically end Bellew's career so I hope it happens so I do not have to listen to this idiot bang on anymore.
