Can anyone explain what just happened?

Interestingly in the post fight interview cleverleys damaged right hand looks surprisingly okay

 

I doubt it mate. He's laughing all the way to the bank. If this card has sold reasonably well, it'll show to him and the bigwigs at sky that putting on average cards, piling some big names on and charging £17 is totally acceptable. With sky's hype machine in full effect, they can sell anything.

This idea about the main event being to setup a 3rd match doesn't surprise me either. Both apparently were seemingly holding back and then the first thing they both said was about doing it again at the millennium stadium atsch

My suspicion of what Hearn is doing with British boxing is growing by the day. Hes in this to line his pockets, not put on the best fights for the fans.

 

tbf to cleverly he could hardly breathe even about 5 minutes after final bell!!

even sky pundits said it was cack....the 1 good thing to come out this is PPV will be dead on sky for a while now..

 

This. Let's be honest boys and girls. Absolutely dreadful fight. I'm at a loss to explain Cleverly tactics and Bellew looked slower than slow.

 

With all the trash talking before it highlighted the fact further what a poor fight it was.

 

they are both ****e !!
they both talked a good fight , but failed to deliver anything other than pure bollox .
hearn must be laughing all the way to his bank !!

 

I missed it. Did Clev come out with his bandana to some Basshunter?

 

I smell a rat, the fight was a fix. Nice way to earn a 3rd fight, don't worry people are crazy enough to pay for a rubber match.

 

What happened is that you witnessed two bums pitted against one another

The whole ppv event should have been called 'Fight A Bum And Repeat''

 

Year Zero Are you a NIN fan? with that name

 

Of course :thumbsup

Havent had a listen in a while though, will have to throw it on for tomorrows workout for sure :bbb

Fuking bellew listening to busta rhymes .. no wonder he's so s.hit :fire

 

true, tough to call who should be more embarrassed. the athelete who, injury or no, was left a sitting duck by his stamina for 1/2 the fight, or the puncher who couldn't finish off that sitting duck.

sorry lads, that was appalling.

 

haha that is exactly what i was thinking, they both completely failed in what they talked up about themselves, it was just a case of who was worse

 

There was one round he sat down after, maybe the 9th, I honestly thought he was in danger of collapsing. Maybe he has been on the **** like Bellew said.

He's a great defensive boxer when he wants to be. Seems to me one of the great wasted potential UK boxers we've seen recently. If he'd have stayed on his bike against Kovalev he may even have done the business.
