Flint Island = Aztec God = White Tiger ? No ? Yes ? Maybe this has already been cleared up ? Or is maybe well known ? Anyways, on paper......Cleverly via points or stoppage. Maybe they have sparred, maybe Bellew has his number yada yada......i dunno. Just thinking, would love to see Oakey Vs Bellew. Yes.....even tomorrow.
At this point in time, Cleverly. No need to rush this one though - plenty of time to let this build up into a cracking domestic fight.
cleverly will get snoozed put your house on it. bellew is far better than him in almost every single department. power skill defense ring craft cleverly only has speed over bellew and the fact he has done the 12 rounds before. but thats not bellews fault he hits hard and gets his man out of there quick. take my word for it bellew will k.o cleverly in under 4 rounds, bellew has never ever been down as a pro amateur or even a spar in his life, he has fought huge heavy weights and never been hurt, cleverly on the other hand was gone and down of joe vegas for god sake whats gunna happen when bellew hits him? another point il finish on is i know fighters and trainers altho im not going to say there names as it is disrespectfull but when bellew has sparred them or trainers have seen bellew they have said bellew will be far too much for cleverly, and they didnt expect bellew to be able to box as well as fight. these wont fight for another year or so imo but when they do then bellew will have gained more experience and gone the full distance in 1 of his fights maybe, then clevery will only have speed over bellew and not another thing. i cant see cleverly being un beaten by then anyway to be honest he is wide open and has a very poor defence, its only a matter if time before he gets bingo'd
Jab Jab, the poster who doesn't no what gloves am's wear(****) but imo Cleverly wins now and Bellew would in 18months if the he keeps progressing and has the right fights made.
if they fight each other next...cleverly wins but cleverly needs to tighten up that defence, hes gonna get beat sooner or later unless his chin is made of oliver mccall.
I absolutely aggree with this, is embarrassing how much brown nosing Bellew gets, good fighter though but not sure if he has the tools to be a proper world champ.
this has crossed my mind but i dont think its thr truth. alot of top trainers and the such really rate bellew. jim mcdonnell even stated in boxing news this week bellew was 1 to watch and he dont post here
If this fight happens tomorrow then it's Clev for me. Probably by points but we are yet to see if Bellew has a chin. The way Bellew is going though, I think half a dozen more fights (or less if his opponents are stepped correctly) would put Bellew at or above Clev's level. The difference for me in terms of potential, is more around Clev's repetitveness than anything else. It's still early in both fighters careers so there is a lot of time for them both to improve, but from what I've seen, I think Clev could become easy to figure out and therefore easy to beat. Whereas Bellew seems to be developing into a fighter that is primarily a brawler but adding subtle movements to his arsenal. Bellew clearly has a good boxing brain given his amateur success. I dont know Clev's amateur background so forgive me on that one. Basically, I reckon right now, Clev has the beating of Bellew because Bellew has yet to fight anyone on a comparable level to Clev. After a few more fights, well, let's wait and see.
