    Fry's a good fighter, this is a good fight for Cleverly. I expect him to win and win reasonably comfortably but Fry's got good skills and as always the southpaw element will always cause problems.

    Is this definitely signed?

    This is gonna be Cleverly toughest fight yet.. Fry has the 1 attribute that beats speed providing he uses it to it's full potential!! THE JAB!!

    Courtney is a better schooled fighter than anyone Cleverly has faced so far, My only concern is his lack of activity!! That could play a huge roll here, I see it being a very tough fight though, So the fans will be happy.

    If Cleverly get's this wrong he could wind up getting stopped in the mid to late rounds!! Courtney is a notoriously slow starter so Cleverly has to take advantage of that without a shadow of a doubt, Cleverly needs to set a high pace and keep it high to show up Cortney's rustiness, Either way I see a good fight and if the odds are high enough I'd put a sly bet on Fry.

    Ultimately though I see this being a really good fight and 1 that will bring Cleverly on..:good My prediction after all that ranting is Cleverly BUT I can see it bein a dangerous fight for him..;)

    Good fight for Clev. I said a while ago the only worthwhile fights left for him in Britain are Fry and Bellew, I'd like to see Clev come through this and Bellew beat somebody like Oakey and then for them to meet next.

    Mate I'd love for that to happen, It'll be interesting to see how it pans out, Also Im itching for a test myself, I think it'll come on 30th October in Liverpool mate:good Cleverly and Fry though is a good match, People are writing Fry off and he has a good chance of upsetting the odds here mate.;)

    Yes, Fry presents a different problem for Clev. He's tall, long and well polished. As far as I can see Cleverly hasn't fought anybody like that, Oakey is more a pressure type and McIntosh is not well schooled, just awkward.

    Gotta back Clev to come through mind.

    Courtney has the 1 attribute you need to control speed, THE JAB!! It's the most important punch in boxing and Courtney has a fantastic jab to be fair to him, He also has underated power! Clev ain't faced anyone with Fry's pedigree and schooling so it will pose him problems, However I still fancy Clev to be too young,fast and ambitious!! Probably by decision..;)

    Good to see Cleverly keeping busy and facing some different types of fighter. Think he will be far to fresh for Fry though, but hope it goes a decent few rounds

    Agreed - which makes me wonder why he agreed to Prizefighter. He was the best boxer in that pack, dont care what anyone says, but the format was all wrong for him personally.

    Although I will hold my hands up and say I picked him at the time :patsch

    This should be a good fight bujt Clev is class and Fry has never looked like living up to his early billing so I will go for a Clev win by late KO.

    Excellent fight for Clev...really happy its been made........poses a completely different style to anything Clev has faced before.

    If he looks impressive in this one.....Euro has to be next stop for him.
