    most likely the bigger and stronger Fonfara breaks down and stops Clev late, possibly while losing by a wider margin on the cards

    Fonfara beats up Clev in this one.. Clev may be faster? (correct me if I'm wrong) Even if Clev is faster, Fonfara throws just as many punches and he's physically stronger. Also fighting at home here.

    I'm hoping for a Stevenson rematch after this. Fonfara beats up superman this time for good!!

    Bigger and Stronger?

    Cleverly is 6'2 and has recently been fighting at 200!

    this can be a drawback, going up to 200 and now coming back to 175 could weaken him even more

    Agreed. That doesn't sound good on the body.

    Good fight, should be quite competitive. But I've been more impressed by Fonfara, he knows how to use his size unlike Cleverly who fights like a guy much smaller than he is. Fonfara likely outboxes him and stops him late.

    Yeah, when he was 18...

    Is Floyd a SFW?

    Nah. I'm was just implying that 150 to 200 is a long ways apart.

    I think Floyd is. He certainly was at his best at that weight. Had physical strength and punching power at that weight. When cleverly went up to 200 you could tell it was not ideal for him.
     
  14. I think Cleverly at his best is better than that loss to Kovalev show's! No shame in losing to Sergey! I'm gunna go against the grain & pick a Cleverly SD in a close & entertaining fight, further adding credence to Kovalevs resume & abilities! Fonfara is arguably Stevensons second best win! I'll **** myself if Cleverly beat's him! For extra pawnage I hope Karpency who Cleverly beat gives him problems too! LOL Cleverly is a top athlete but he's one of those fighter's that could have benefitted from moving to the US for a bit & getting some quality sparring & mentorship under his belt but i guess his academic education came first! Which is to be expected... Fonfara is a very good fighter & by no means do I think he can't beat Cleverly! I just got a gut feeling..

    Cleverly reminds me of Bute in some ways.. Better than his loss would have you think!
