    I just watched this for the first time as I missed it at the time, but I scored this fight clearly to bellew, I scored it by two rounds to tony at least, and this was giving close rounds to the champion. Including the last two.

    I'm just interested in hearing peoples views on the fight as it seems bellew seemed to accept this defeat as if he knew he'd lost. I thought bellew dominated the fight behind the jab and outworked and landed more on the inside.

    Draw, leaning towards bellew

    Think he won his rounds better than clev, who nicked his

    is this the reason clev gets pelters on here? Do most think he got a gift here?

    Thought it was a draw myself thought Bellew was ahead going into the championship rounds & Cleverly started coming on strong towards the end with Bellew tiring slightly really good fight.

    I was very much pro Bellew back then but I think I had Clev by a point or a draw.

    I scored it two rounds to Cleverly, the last two rounds decided it.

    Even Bellew said the same he felt he just lost on the last two as he was spent and had nothing left. If he still had the snap in his punches and the energy in his legs I think he would've won but it was just Clev's fitness that pushed him through.

    Very close fight but not that close that I could find a way to give it to Tony I am afraid and I've watched it back a couple of times.

    I had money on Clev but felt Bellew just nicked it by a round.

    Think it was 115-114 Bellew or 114-114

    I know scoring is subjective but really the only people I have heard say that Bellew won, including the man himself and his team etc. are internet posters.

    I think because Bellew was a big underdog and did much better than expected maybe people award him some extra credit in the close rounds? I like Bellew and wanted him to win but he just doesn't land enough shots in the last few rounds and Clev finishes the far stronger and never really looked too fussed about much that Bellew threw at him even when they did land. Tony abandoned the jab after rounds 8/9 and it cost him dearly.

    Very narrowly Cleverly but was a close fight and would like to see it again

    I had it as a draw, it was very close. A rematch would be good
     
  13. 114-114 it was a good little scrap with plenty of scoring punches
    Bellew boxed technically the best I've ever seen from him and surpassed my expectations that night

    I thought Bellew squeaked it. Point or two.

    I felt bellew nicked it by a round.

    Am happy those that scored it a draw.

    I just can't see what 7 rounds anyone gives to Clev.

    If someone could point out which 7 rounds they scored to Clev and why I would be grateful.

    If I try I can give him 6 but never 7!!!
