Dmitry Sukhotsky is his mando. as he won the vacant belt its likley he will need to make that defence before the year is out. DS it 11th in my rankings.
I think Cleverly beats Shumenov on points. Would be a great fight though! expect Cleverly to fight a bum in late july, then Bellew in October.
I want to see Clev-Cloud, Cloud is beatable as he is complete trash - good name for Clev to put on his CV.
I'd urge Cleverly to be wary of Sukhotsky, and if he does face him, to not take him lightly. That guy hits hard.
Shumenov didn't beat Campillo on either occasion. They were clear robberies IMO. The Spaniard was too slick for him. Shumenov puts everything into his punches. He's okay at everything but nothing special considering how good an amateur he was.
i thought shumenov was unlucky in the 1st and got a gift in the 2nd. strange how it worked out. campillo would be a great 1st defence.
Since we're talking about LHWs would anyone else like to see Cloud vs Pascal? I don't see Clev taking a risky fight in the next year, best we can hope for is Bellew.
Shumenov was unlucky in Kazakhstan? Give over, it was a fair decision and the second was even more clear. Why fight Campillo? Campillo is better than Shumenov and brings nothing except the fact he could beat Cleverly.
Cloud would knock Cleverly out. People are saying that his power (or lack of) has been exposed recently. But he's fought Woods and Johnson in two of his last three fights. Both of those two are right up there with Oliver McCall in the chin department. Nathan is wide open to power shots, at some point his lack of defence or footwork to avoid shots will cost him, and he'll be laid out.
yes Cloud vs Pascal would be very nice. Cloud fights next month on the premier sports card. very good card. get that on the hopkins vs dawson undercard.
If Clev approaches Cloud like Johnson did he can win, I had Johnson winning his fight with Cloud - Tavoris couldn't handle the pressure.
