    I'm intrigued as to what the stats will be.

    I had it 6-6 but with Cleverly never winning except after round 1. I think Bellew was bigger, stronger, more powerful and better technically. His timing and distance were good as he caught his jabs and returned several of his own. I felt he was choosing where the fight went. Unfortunately I think the weight got to him and he tired. I gave the last 3 rounds to Clev and he was winning them because it was clear he was tired.

    Bellew deserves a rematch but he also needs to move up to cruiserweight. On his frame, 25 pounds will do him a big favour. Cruiserweight is also no mans land with fat 175 pounders and **** heavyweights. The strength and power levels go up a notch though.

    I thought the cards were poor, especially Parris.

    i was there at the echo and would have voted bellew when i got back that night, however i rewatched it the next day and in my oppinion cleverly won when i watched it back by one or two rounds! HOWEVER it was so close you couldnt have argued either way!

    Nathan nicked it at the end. The way he boxed is a credit to tony, its the best defensive display nathan has showed and he looked a lot better, if he came out the way he usually does tony would have beat him!

    i had 15000 v cash on Clev and watched the fight via a dodgy stream and i was thinking it might possibly be a draw until i heard Mr Parris' score card.
    Close fight, not alot in it and would watch again if they rematched.
    Dave Parris wouldn't agree with me though.

    I had it 115-113 Clev. I can see how it could be scored for Bellew as well though, it really was a close fight. Both guys should have learned a lot from it and I'm sure they will return as better fighters.

    I posted it in Wallet's thread. I had it 115-114 Bellew or 6-5-1. Anything from 115-113 Bellew and 115-113 Clevery is acceptable
