What did ya'll think of cleverly last night?

He fought with heart and courage. He had a shot to win but it slipped his grasp.

 

His game plan, to me, was all wrong. Plodding forward, slowly, straight lines, little movement. Fair enough, he had some success with this early doors and landed some good shots. But I just think Clev has the agility and athleticism to be much more mobile, more elusive, in and out of range, little raids landing shots and then pulling back out of range. Instead, he came forward, took far too many shots, got banged up and lost the fight. Far enough, he showed a lot of heart and desire in the process.

I'm not too clued up on who trains him (his Dad?) but I think he needs to look at some changes there. I think he's done this before when he hooked up with Booth for a short time?

 

Brahmer has beaten nobody, and is simply holding the belt hostage, as have many of his countrymen.

Cleverly isn't the best in the division, but he'd be far too busy for Brahmer, and would UD him, except for questionable judging.

Too many people writing Cleverly off, simply because he was beaten at LHW by a monster, and then bloated himself up to CW, and let himself down, in a fight that he should never have taken.
