    for first time!!

    gotta say what a brilliant fight.toe to toe and neither man grabbed hold once or gave an inch!

    for me there was so little between ,how 2 judges had it by 4 and 5 rounds i just dont know!!

    if Bellew was better conditioned i think he would have nicked it

    It was an excellent fight. Like you say - next to no spoiling, they really got on with it.

    After the defeat Clev said he would move up to cruiserweight, pulled out of about 3 fights, signed with Matchroom and is set to fight on the same bill as Lee Selby on May 17th I think, no word on the opponent yet.

    When asked for a rematch, Cleverly said he'd schooled Bellew in that fight and he was far beyond that level now :lol:
