Funny that, and its funny because ive been discussing Cloud all week with my mate and i have been referring to him as Trout most of the time and correcting myself !!! hee hee hee
The difference between Clev and Bellew's opponents is that Cleverley holds a title and should be defending against the top fighters and mandatory challengers. Bellew holds no belt so has to build his record so he becomes mandatory challenger for a belt thus fighting people above him in the rankings. Lirva is just an attention seeker who gets his jollies by arguing on line with Bellew. Pathetic really but each to their own!
Poor fight, can't be disguised as anything else. A few steps back, this. Frustrating because there are so many beatable 'names' at LHW.
What are the alternatives, place Bellew vs TBA as a headliner on a show that doesnt exist ?? This is a co featured event on a Carl Froch bill, what did you expect ??
He beat Miranda a month ago, it's not a bad fight to see out '12. Hopefully he provides a bit of a test for Bellew and is durable enough to not get blown out early. Although durability is null & void in British rings half the time. He's going the WBC route, reckon he might face Dawson next year?
