How Bellew talked his way into a world titlefight I'll never know, clev is a level above and let me tell u this u ****s whilst this is an intriguing match it should have been fought at domestic level, easy points win for clev, what do you ****s reckon
Dangerous fight for both lads, Tony will have to box smart like last time, i think he will nick it, PS you ****
My early thoughts are that I cannot believe ANYONE not giving Bellew a chance here. My middle thoughts that are if these two guys go to war? Bellews power tells. Late thoughts are that even if it turns into a chess match? Bellew could still outbox the guy. To sum up my thoughts? Cleverly is being overrated if anyone calls him a league above Bellew, who will be his toughest test as a fighter yet.
Cleverly will enter this fight as the favourite but Tony does have some advantages. Naturally the bigger man & a harder puncher Tony is also more mature & imo the more "natural" fighter of the 2. As for Cleverly sugar-coat him all you like but he still wants to go to war & please the crowd, when they get excited so does he. Bellew will talk all sorts in the build-up, if he can take advantage of Clev getting emotional then he can win. If they box in front of a quiet crowd for 12 rounds he will probably get out-worked & lose. The build-up may be more entertaining than the fight.
Agree with Dunky. I don't rate Bellew very highly but Cleverly has yet to prove he's a league above. It should be a good competative grudge match. I give NC the edge but I need to see more of them.
