Cleverly v Afrobum - anyone want a rbr?

So they put this **** on Sky Sports and the semi decent stuff on PPV. Anyone feel like a petition is in order? Haven't Sky been allowed to **** British boxing for long enough?

 

I ****ing knew it.

 

How far do you guys think Cleverly WILL go??

 

Africa don't make fighters the way they used to

 

Personally when he comes up against a banger,he will be undone.At the moment he reminds me of khan in his earlier career,fighting bums and the press getting in fizz about it .

he has not had a tough fight,and his last two fights are against blown up super middleweight.

 

I think fighting this kind of opponent does more harm than good.

He will learn absolutely nothing against guys that won't hit him back, and like snogging the canvas.

Nothing wrong with padding a record for ten fights or so, but they need to be LEARNING fights. Journeymen like Komjathy for the lower weights teach people a lesson or two and take them the distance - surely Frank could find decent guys at 168/175 to test Clev properly.

 

So a fat Dean Francis fights a journeyman and a potenial domestic capable of one day making the British top 5 fights a taxi driver from Africa. I almost **** myself when the commentator admitted the afrobums job.

**** matchmaking. Warren and co are pathetic at times.

 

This is what I don't understand.

Why not just put Cleverly against Francis on the bill and a couple of supporting fights.

Quality >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Quantity.

The cab driver thing was hilarious.

 

Cleverly would own this version of Francis. I've said it for a while.

Whether Cleverly is a little vulnerable is besides the point, Francis can't get off with his right hand. It's easy to avoid a left hook. Cleverly's speed and activity would beat him up and stop him late.

 

I agree...but Africa, as far as I am aware, have never made Light Heavys full stop.

 

How many decent Africans have come over in recent years - other than Ben Tackie?

 

Cough...cough Ajose cough

 

Decent Africans full stop is a better question.

 

I meant as opponents, as opposed to fighting out of the UK

I will get chance to see Ajose at first hand in two week's time - rather than on FFN.

 

I always make sure I watch Africans when they fight in the vain hope that I will be seeing the launch of another Azumah...never seems to happen though. African record keeping is so **** you never are sure who is going to turn up.
