the mckenzie fight was a big improvement. as bellew said, he fought to a gameplan for the first time and stayed disciplined throughout. tony is a smart guy and fought to his strengths. however, lets be realistic, it was a very very dull performance and a read let down to fans. against clev, tony knows that a war suits him. But make no mistake, clev has the heart of a lion and will fight to the end, even if that means leaving on a stretcher. Don't underestimate Clev in this fight, he will dig just as deep as Bellew and won't stay down unless he physically cannot get up. We expect the same from Bellew... therefore, this fight could be a really great fight.
Who the **** do you think you are you little *****? What a ****ing gobshite. That's being nice come on..... Even you can't say you don't see the glaring 'I'M A ****' message at the end of that post :deal Edit: sorry should have read on.
1. he doesnt need that much power tony. Bob Ajisafe who doesnt have any power at all had you on the canvas 2. hes fought on a better level then you, remind me when you fought beyond domestic level, cleverlys a proven european champion, karo murat IMO is a harder fight for cleverly then your going to be 3. You let your emotions get the better of you so your playing into cleverlys advantage
karo murat is a more proven puncher then bellew, bellews fought 15 below par opponents and only stopped 10 of them, this isnt a step up fight for cleverly
Murat was a decent opponent and a good puncher, but at super middle. The facts are Polish bloke = non puncher Mohammedi = awkward. Non puncher Murat = decent puncher at the weight below Brancallion = total non puncher Oakey = tough man but not a big puncher Macintosh = prob the biggest natural puncher he's fought but hardly dynamite Clev fights with zero defence and when he fights someone who can really PUNCH and box we will see how he goes. Until then im yet to be convinced
Clev is very easy to hit it seems, so Bellew WILL hit him clean at least once and that will be interesting. But my prediction will be like Clev - McIntosh, lots of heart but outboxed and stopped mid rounds. But I wouldn't be gutted to be wrong on this one, I just hope Bellew is aggressive and goes for the KO, he can't beat Clev on points I think.
