Cleverly vs Froch

so do i

 

I really like Clev but he has never been hit hard, I think Froch may stop him late.

 

Froch ko

 

I think if Clev does what he did last night against Froch then Froch will stop him.

 

This

 

Cleverly - he has got a lot of speed and snap to his punches, but his head wanders - doesn't keep eyes on target, leaves himself open.


But I think Froch doesn't have good technique and next to no defence, his main attribute being his stamina/power. Tough call.

 

Cleverly would be on a suicide mission if he was to stand in the pocket and try and bully Froch.

Froch is a monster, he can punch, has a good chin and is durable.

Cleverly would need to be focused for the full 12 rounds and box Froch and only trading in bunches and getting the hell out again.

Going to war to impress and prove a point then I feel Froch wears him down down the stretch and could very stop Cleverly.

 

I definitely feel Froch would break his heart. If he boxed him though, y'never know. I don't think he's there yet. Needs tightening up, and a better corner.

 

Good fight. Not sure Clev could fight the same way he did last night against Froch, reckon he would get caught with counters too often. I think Clev will turn out to be a better boxer than Froch in time, but its too soon right now.

 

Froch KOs him. Cleverly couldn't hurt Froch and Clev is too open to avoid Froch's clubbing shots for 12 rounds.

 

Froch's power is overrated in my opinion. And it relies a lot on that, to beat a guy like Clev.

I would take Clev.

 

Froch in 6 rounds.

 

Froch is not a big puncher, but a hurtful one.

I doubt Clev has the nuance of a Kessler to be able to fire back and forth with Froch without sustaining big damage, nor the discipline to punch in spurts and get on his bike like Dirrell.

However, I feel Clev can do a few different thing and mix it up, is big and strong, and durable enough to win on points. This would be Froch after getting sparked by Abraham.

If it hypothetically happened next up and Froch dealt with the move up okay, I think his extra seasoning and grit would see him tough it out on points. But as I said above, Clev has the ability to win this down the line, and will probably have improved if it ever happens. I don't think it will.
