Eh...I've completely lost any interest for this rematch. At 175 a couple of years ago it was enticing. Now that both are fat cruisers and have stepped up beyond their class and taken some beatings, not so much.
I WILL NOT BE BUYING THIS AS ITS NOT REALLY WORTHY OF PPV STATUS . I hope cleverly wins this as bellew is boring always being loud and in people's faces but here's my worry . Cleverly may not be the same fighter after his brutal loss , will he be able to mentally dig deep and stay in the fight when the going gets tough I do have my doubts . Cleverly by close decision hopefully STOP TRYING TO RIP US OFF FAST EDDIE
I am not interested in this fight but my guess would be a replay of their first fight; Cleverly in a close and controversial MD/SD.
I'm guessing a similar fight and result to the original. I don't think Bellew really has the power to stop Cleverly and I think Cleverlys speed and workrate probably edges a points win. That said I've not really paid much attention to the CW fights of either, so I'm not sure whether that's impacted on either in terms of speed, power or durability. I mean - it's a decent domestic fight but IMO neither is really gonna make much of a splash at the higher weight.
I believe Bellew was easily winning the first fight until he abonded the jab and there was a low blow by Cleverly, then Clev took over. I think the weight change+Kovalev loss favours Bellew. BUT, Clev seems much more confident than Bellew who seems to be trying to use intimidation tactics, which arent working......
