Now for those of you who dont know, Eduard Gutknecht is a German Based Kazakhstan fighter who holds a 22-1 record (only loss coming to WBO 168 champ Stielglitz) and also Kod former foe Danny Macintosh and beat former WBO 168 champ and current WBA regular 168 champ Karoly Balszay. Now he is the current EBU Light Heavyweight Champion and honestly a decent challenge to the WBO bauble that Cleverly holds. After Cleverly beats Bellew (ill be shocked if he doesnt) then this would be a logical defense and would actually get him ready unlike the fighters hes beat so far. I said it before either of them became world champ but . . . SHUMENOV VS CLEVERLY!
Shumenov would be a great fight for Nathan, don't rate him that highly at all. I've only seen this Gutneckt guy against McIntosh and wasn't that impressed - but he looks solid enough, what more can you tell me about him?
