    Both struggled yesterday with opponents on about the same level (despite their records).

    There had been talk - especially after a recent win over Karo Murat - of Cleverly progressing soon enough to world title contention and leaving Bellew in his dust after some buzz having been generated over a possible domestic clash between the two over the last couple of years. That talk may have been premature.

    If it does come off in the next year, given recent form how do you see it playing out?

    won't happen now I don't think after Bellew admitted he has problems making 175 and might move up to Crusierweight

    Still siding with Bomber.

    Cleverley doesn't have power like Mckenzie, that shot was thunderous last night in Rnd 2 and Bellew was up in seconds and looked completely fine. I was stunned to say the least !!

    Bellew's performance against Ajisafe wasn't great and last night he got KD'd twice so of course all the critics are coming out.

    I 100% believe in Bomber and 100% believe when the fight happens he'll hurt Cleverley.

    Cue the 'fan-boy' insults :lol:

    Anyway I doubt it's gonna happen soon anyway. Cleverley is on the verge of a World title, whilst Bomber will surely be looking for McIntosh next and the Lonsdale. It will happen down the line though i'm sure of that. Too much has been said and done now for it to just bypass us all.

    Oh yeah and after all that's been said and done, Cleverley will try and engage. He won't box

    I went for Clev on points but I'd be very pleased to be proved wrong and see Bellew knock Clev and his bandana TFO :yep

    Cleverly by brutal stoppage. Cleverly is much better than his display yesterday.

    Id favour Tony, just a gut instinct, I dont think Cleverly really has the power to trouble Bellew so itd be interesting to see how Cleverly takes a big shot when Bellew is coming forward.

    Made me laugh checking who voted for who and seeing TB voted for himself :lol:

    Atleast he got rid of his stupid Abraham Lincoln beard, so its a step in the right direction.

    Reminds me of a welsh GSP wannabe with his daft antics.

    And now i cant get the thought of that daft mocking thing he does to his opponents out of my head either.

    This fight will not be decided by ability especially after watching clev near on mentally fall to bits last night when posed with a minor problem, it took his corner to read him the riot act to get him out for the next round. I don't think he's made of the right stuff & once he's exposed too a top class operator then he'll mentally fold like deck chair. Bellew will obviously have to up his game but i believe that as long as he has no problem with the weight & dos'nt get tagged then he'll break clev mentally IMO.
