    I honestly think Nathan would take the rematch with ease, he wore Bellew down and i think hes broken him mentally after this. I really hope not but there shouldnt be an immediate rematch, wait and see how they do against their next opponents first.

    Bellew - Gutknecht

    Cleverly - Shumenov

    Winner fights Winner

    Rematch would be interesting. Cleverly now knows he can take Bellews shots. More importantly, Bellew knows it. Suspect we'd see a more aggressive fight from Cleverly and a more intelligent gameplan from Bellew. (Not that Bellew didn't have a good plan, but you could tell it was predicated on being able to hurt Cleverly.)

    To me those guys could fight 3 or 4 more times and I wouldn't complain due to the sheer entertainment value.

    I would rather see Enzo beat Cleverly.

    Great fight. I had it even after 7 and I gave Cleverly and Bellew 2 each from round 9-12. Unfortunately I can't remember how I scored round 8!

    I was surprised at how good Bellew was, especially the jab. Both tough guys.

    I had it a draw, but in a lot of ways Bellew won. His was the better performance. Congrats.

    Bellew was a lot better than I thought he would be but I think Cleverly underestimated him.

    I disagree, Perfomance-wise Bellew landed a lot of hard shots on Clev but he took them well and came back

    Clevers body shots took their toll on Bellew and he was breathing through his mouth, the last round proved that.

    I had it a draw personally but Clev was the fresher of the two by the end

    I think we are saying the same thing. I just believe Mr Bellew gained more from this fight.
