    Hearn just said the deal is signed.

    Hes hoping it will be for the WBA title, but needs Bivol to sign off on stepping aside.

    Solid fight, although Jack should win handily.

    Very good fight, a solid first fight for Jack at 175. I'd expect Jack to come through, but Clevs work rate and durability will make him competitive.

    oooh, nice! I like both. This will be entertaining. I lean towards Jack but will not underestimate Cleverly's chances.

    Pre Kovalev, I would've said Cleverly,
    I haven't been confident picking for him
    ever since, even and this one and I
    feel Jack is one of the most pedestrian fighters
    I've ever seen.

    Cleverly looked awful against Braehmer. Maybe he can outwork Jack to earn a decision but I suspect he'll just be too easy to hit and do his usual thing of just sitting there in front of his opponent to be hit and pay the price.

    Cleverly will get hammered by Jack , I agree that Jack looks pretty basic but he keeps winning .Cleverly for someone who is supposedly a brain box fights stupidly by being too macho .

    This match is ridiculously competitive and Jack in no way should be considered the clear favorite, Cleverly is not only a LHW, he's a very large LHW, Jack doesn't have one punch KO power he wins or draws on volume lately, unfortunately for him, Cleverly is almost a carbon copy in those departments. Clev looked bad against Braehmer, so what, most thought Braehmer would beat him, Braehmer is kind of really good, and the loss against Fonfara was as competitive as it get, the only reason why he fell behind was because of a busted nose, he walked through everything Andrzej threw at him and kept coming until the final bell. Will Jack be able to keep a Fonfara like pace? Will his power be even les effective at LHW, considering he barely made a dent on the chinny Bute, Dirrell and Groves as a SFW, I doubt it will increase. Also let's not forget, Jack was fairly chinny at SFW, while Clev doesn't have a huge punch, he can get guys respect, who's to say he doesn't wear Jack down and stop him late, Bute who wasn't landing a ton of volume was even getting to Jack late, Clev will land at will. This is a very winnable fight for Cleverly.

    Bivol would beat either one of them. Bivol has the talent and skills..............

    Cleverly has absolutely no defence whatsoever. Cleverly makes Marius Wach look like Pernell Whitaker.

    This is 5 stars on BoxRec? Lol
    Jack will be even better at 175, easy decision.
