    Sillakh was on his way to looking like a potential star, i cant believe he got flattened either !!

    The Cleverly thing in our eyes (British eyes) who frankly are in a better place to make comment on Cleverly, is that he is simply marking time, the Nation was on board after the Bellew fight, with both men, and then Frank hit bad times, Cleverly is suffering because of this, Tony Bellew has had one fight under MatchRoom promotions and already he's a house hold name again, out on Sky Sports non PPV against a dangerous well known guy and won with a stoppage, Tony and Nathan are likeable guys for different reasons, Bellew a brash talker who is fearless in his quest for accomplishment in boxing, world level boxing, Cleverly a humble but confident, intelligent kid who wants to fight the best fighters !, these are the type of characters we need on display, fighting regularly against top guys, James De Gale and George Groves also fall into this bracket

    Cleverly is missing the boat right now, he needs to do whats right for him and leave Frank, i agree Uzelkov isnt that bad, but the damage is done, he needs that visible separation and a fresh start

    Get to MatchRoom Nathan and get back on Sky

    You're not far wrong RTB,and whilst it's a graveyard of a division right now,I think at least one in three fights should have you going in with someone who people at least think has a chance of beating you.At least if you're not elite anyway.
    Cleverly got very lucky with Bellew,who was a nobody at the time but put up a great fight.FW can bang on about no one taking the fight but it's no coincidence that the likes of Khan and Hatton benefitted greatly from moving on from him.
    And Ricky Burns is very loyal to Alex Morrison,who in turn is loyal to F-Wank,so we probably won't see Ricky truly fulfilling his potential.
    Cleverly should try and put himself up for a lower purse to get a bigger name,just like Hatton did.I know it's easy to say here,but Clev is fast becoming the biggest joke in boxing,and he needs to do something about it.
    For his own good.:deal

    It's a WBO/Welsh tradition, Calzaghe did the same thing for years with the 168 pound WBO trinket.

    He felt Bute should have to fight someone to prove himself first. After just finishing up the grueling SS tourney, fighting all the divisions best, I see his point. Besides it turned out he wasn't worthy anyway, after being destroyed by Froch, who had just lost convincingly to Ward.

    In short all he wanted Bute to do, was beat one contender like he had to do for the previous couple years several times over. That's not asking too much of a supposed world champion.
