    JB will school the overhyped Clev.

    I somehow have the feeling that Cleverly can beat Brähmer. I watched every fight of Brähmer and don't think he's impressive. There are rumors he ducked Hopkins too.

    Braehmer is a quite decent champ.Cleverly is a decent challenger.I very much hope that I will watch an entertaining fight between them.IMO the Brit is the underdog in this upcomming bout.Braehmer is an experienced vet who fights on his home turf against an good opponent who can make the water hot for the German for .............a few rounds.
    Braehmer by point decision.Cleverly doesnt have the firepower to knock the German out,and Braehmer will play it safe as soon as he gets the feeling that he is ahead on points on the scorecards.If a ko happens Cleverly will be the one who tastes tthe ring dust.
    Nevertheless,I very much hope that the Brit will give it a serious go and force the German to get out of this comfort zone and show his true colours.Most of the German's fights follow the same pattern:wide point decisions in favour of Braehmer without any real excitement and critical moments of danger.

    I would pick Cleverly on neutral turf. Germany, who knows?

    Clev won't lose a round in a demonstrative performance, and barely manage to eke out a SD in Germany, Clev will have zero problem in dominating Braehmer, Clev is a major step up in comp for Juergen, who let's be honest, has been feasting on bummish fighters for the last 3 or 4 years now.

    There is no doubt Juergen has played it safe with his career choices but I think you're sleeping on him a bit here Chris, he's a very savvy skilled fighter, though it's my suspicion that age is starting to creep up on him. Obviously Juergen doesn't have to worry about the judges as much as Clev so can afford to play it a bit more cautiously, and I think Clevs workrate might give him some problems, but I see a fairly even fight here. Braehmer MD/ close UD.

    Braehmer is very skilled, and I think he'd be tough task for a lot of guys around Clev's level, but like you said, I think age is caching up with him, and Nathan's insane workrate, and the relative ease he can usually deal with southpaws, add to that the fact that he knows he needs to go all out from the start to ensure a fauir decision, I think all of that will conspire against Juergen this time.

    Clev's been in with better competition for sure, but he's also failed almost every time he's stepped up with the exception of the first Bellew fight which was razor thin. Most of his best wins are the kind of Euro level guys that JB feasts on. It's going to be a good fight, but I'm leaning towards Braehmer... Also it's in Germany so if it's even remotely close Clev will be robbed.

    Braehmer is going to beat the brakes of Cleverly. UD for Jurgen.

    Braehmer is under rated, but hasn't fought anyone with a pulse for the last 2,5 years.
    Cleverly is tough and gace Fonfara a better fight then I expected.
    I think it will be a close fight and that Braehmer will win on points (It's in Germany)

    Personally I rate Bellew, Mohammedi, Karpency, Murat, a younger Krasniqi and Fonfara (the match should have been a draw) a lot higher than I do Konni Konrad, an older Krasniqi and Gutknecht.

    He's failed against Kovalev (who hasn't?) and Bellew and Fonfara (barely), so what, so would Braehmer.

    You're letting your Hans inspired anti-Brit sentiment cloud your judgment on this on Louie.
