    We just need to see him in with someone who can punch don't we really. Danny Mackintosh was a 10 fight novice who hung his chin out all night long. Clev took him out in style to be fair, but then I would have been shocked if he hadn't.

    I'm not sure Warren is that keen on him getting involved with someone with power. Remember, Joey Vegas had him on his arse in Cardiff on the Calzaghe Kessler bill a couple of years back...

    I like him though, very fast hands, extremely fit and I thought he dealt with Fry's awkwardness well the other night.

    Needs to stop wearing that bandana though...he's not Puerto Rican.

    I'm more concerned at the entrance music.

    Couldn't pick a gayer, more cheesy song. Why not have 'Barbie Girl' next time?

    pulls and drops his hand everytime he throws the jab. the right hand follows and always comes in an upward direction because he drops it when throwing the jab.

    whenever he throws a hook he drops his other hand.

    his defence is terrible. he hasn't got a clue what guard he wants to fight out of. he continously switches guards but for absolutel no reason or purpose.

    he needs alot of fine tuning me thinks.

    steward could do well with him given his height, reach, good speed and new power.

    I think he's a good boxer and could be a good euro level guy, but I agree that he doesn't have "star power".

    Cleverly has a lot going for him but something tells me he won't make it to the very top.

    I think clevs got a decent career ahead of him, potentialy at cruiserweight judging by the way he's growing

    If you think quadratic equations using English letters are bad, try doing them with Greek letters. 3rd year geotechnical engineering:yikes

    Thought he looked ok, When Fry threatened to do a bit NC quashed it quite easily.

    Still a bit rough round the edges but good speed and punch out put.

    I don't see him being some legend or anything but with his style and speed he's always going to be "In" fights even against better boxers....unless his chin doesn't hold up agains some banger.

    I think he does actaully. When the fights were on ITV, nearly the whole bar were taking notice. He lives just down the road though. :D
    He is physically gifted, although it would help if he was a demon puncher, because I've got a feeling the bigger and better challengers (in world class) may walk him down at the moment.
