Bellew to win by SD boxing on the back foot, he's technically a better boxer but I was hugely impressed with how Cleverly has bulked up to cruiser weight, so not confident.
Most pundits didnt think Cleverly would properly make the step up to CW but he has done it really well...in fact there is a huge Bellew bias amongst the media that i find hard to fathom?...
Cleverly overwhelms Bellew over the last 3 rounds to force a late stoppage. Afterwards Bellew threatens Eddie Hearn, blames Coldwell and claims Nathan is on steroids.
The bookies have them both at 10/11 which means they don't even know. I think you still have to question TB''s stamina/conditioning which gives Clev the edge over the distance.
First proper post so let's hope it's turns up trumps! Bellew doesn't have the stamina Clev has, in the first fight bellew had to rest for 2 rounds which I feel ultimately lost him the fight, the exact same will happen again so therefore Clev on points 2 or 3 rounds per judge.... I do actually think Clev will get caught early on but will recover and almost know bellend out in the 11th after tony exhausts himself.
I do think Cleverly looks a little more powerful at the weight but Bellew is probably a bit more powerful as well. I think this will be a stoppage and I am favouring Bellew but Cleverly has a chance. I am not going to take any credit regardless of the esult but like I say I am favouring Bellew 60/40 but I hope Cleverly wins. The more I watch of them both the more I think Cleverly does have a chance of a stoppage himself.
i actually think Bellew would have been near CW in last fight with Clev on fight night so perhaps this time they will actually be more evenly matched weight wise ?
