    Ive sometimes been a critic of Clev but if im honest i think he looks big and strong at the new weight and would pick him to do Bellew again for the second time.

    I had my reservations about him moving to Cruiserweight but hopefully we can see him getting in the mix at world level again.

    What does everyone else thinkg?:bbb

    His opponent clearly wasnt upto much but I was impressed. Clev has clearly had a few mental issues since his last fight but didnt show any signs of fear / weakness on Saturday.

    Obviously bigger challenges lie ahead but I would back him to beat Bellew again at Cruiser

    It will be interesting to see how he does against a better opponent who has good power

    He would beat Bellew, but that isn't really saying much..

    I dont want the Bellew fight to happen straight away if im honest because that means the loser's career is basically done imo

    Wasnt much to be impressed about and he may struggle with bigger guys, including Bellew as I think Bellew will benefit more from the move up in weight.

    Time will tell, Saturday's fight will give him some confidence back but not much more than that.

    Hard to tell really. Looks impressive at the weight but Corbin wasn't up to much at all. Would like to see one or two decent steps up before Bellew. Hope he beats Bellew again, personally.

    The win looked impressive.
    The opponent looked impressive.
    The opponent's level wasn't impressive.

    Maybe the Makabu (would be his first cw opponent before Clev pulled out) fight can be made now :hey

    Id like to see him and Bellew have at least two more fights at the new weight before they meet
