    Cleverly isn't overly powerful either,tends to overwhelm his opponents rather than hurt them with 1 or 2 punches. Just think his defence is bad and lazy, been relyin to much on his height and reach and hasn't progressed with his technique as much as he should of. His jab is basically redundant,it sets nothing up, you can see he is just dying to throw hooks anyway a lot of which are wide. If Murat can land clean punches on a slickster like Campillo,he won't have any problem finding Cleverly. Bit silly to say it will be Cleverly's easiest fight,go watch a murat fight.

    We will see, Murat is overated just as much as you have underated cleverlys power. He is no mike tyson but he is quite accurate andif he gets you hurt majority of the time he will finish it.

    I'm thinking Cleverly/Murat will resemble Abraham/Dirrel.

    Agreed. I wouldn't exactly call either losing an 'upset' though.

    If he's smart he'll use simular tactics thar Dirrell used against AA. So will Froch against AA.
    For the record I believe that Murat will get to Cleverly late on. Would love to be proved wrong though.

    Hall is getting beat so he will be upset lol But he is the outsider in my eyes.


    Enzo and Hall will get beat the others win for me.

    Are you serious? Froch and Cleverly are nothing like Dirrell and therefore won't be able to use the same style and tactics. I can see your comparison between Abraham and Murat. But that other part is so far off. If you mean box backwards, give him a lot of lateral movement, box at mid to long range and don't let him set then i agree with you.

    The only problem is Cleverly and especially Froch don't have the mindset nor attributes to carry off that game plan where your legs are your defence and your skating all night. Nathan can do it a little with the ability to mix up his game. Froch however is the complete opposite of Dirrell, both in style and mindset. If Froch tried to do a Dirrell against Abraham he would get walked down because that would be so alien to his makeup. You are who you are...

    You're right when you say Cleverly should be smart. I'll tell you something about Cleverly heading into this, I really don't like the sounds coming out of the camp...It seems like they're intent on trying to blow Murat out, fighting a lot up close on the inside and making it a dog fight, which would be a poor fight plan IMHO.

    Sexton v Chisora IMO. I think Sexton has made the most improvement of the 2 although Chisora proved himself to be the better fighter at the time they fought. I wouldn't really see Enzo or Hall losing as an upset.

    Really looking forward to Sexton-Chisora II
