    There has to be a rematch, had it as a draw, thought there was no way Cleverly could have came back into it after 4 rounds as Bellew was boxing so well, but Cleverlys fitness/conditioning got him through and he nicked the closer rounds. What a set of whiskers Cleverly has, he done enough to retain the belt, but it was a draw in my opinion. Great credit to both men.

    Great fight for UK boxing.

    He should take no notice of the disgrace scoring. Clev won but it was very close, Bellew will learn and smash to **** some foreign ****s and come back stronger. War Bellew

    Could be the weight factor...... Cleverly has Pac’d to 175 lbs.

    While Bellew has done a David Haye.

    Still had 6/7 rounds to Bellew though.

    This loss hasn't done Tony any harm at all. A real close contest, and a humbling eye-opener for cynics (like myself if I'm being truthful), that thought he might've come up short tonight. A great performance. Tony's career can only have benefitted from such a bollocks-of-war showing. Rematch has to happen, the very least he deserves is a Euro shot. Bomber Bellew - still steeped in glory!

    nb: 117-112 was ridiculous.

    Very surprised. He has a beautiful, varied jab when he uses it. I'm a fan.

    Absolute legend.

    He is actually the better boxer out of himself and Cleverly, technically he's good, it was just Cleverly's work rate and fitness that got him through that fight by the skin of his teeth, it was so close...

    Unlucky Tony. I will always be a fan. You can win a world title for sure and I hope you can see the positives from this fight and push on.

    Honestly, you had never fought at this kind of level as a pro before and you've shown you belong at the top of the sport.

    It was great that you were gracious in defeat and you've done your hole family proud and all of liverpool proud.

    It was nice to see Bellew act so gracious in defeat, too.

    It's pretty easy to be gracious in victory. Just sayin'.
