Comments Thread For: Cleverly vs. Coyne in Play For SHO Quadrupleheader

BIGPOPPAPUMP

Nathan Cleverly aims to be a big hit across the Atlantic when he takes on unbeaten Ryan Coyne, subject to WBO approval, next month in his American world championship title debut.

The Welsh star will co-headline on a big triple world title card promoted by Golden Boy Promotions at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Saturday 10th November.

With his fight also being televised live across America on Showtime and on BoxNation in the UK, he knows a top performance against Coyne will lead to unification fights against WBA king Beibut Shumenov and IBF title-holder Tavoris Cloud.

Far from sold on Cleverly, and Coyne's name sounds only vaguely familiar. Either way, I'll watch. Maybe one of them will make a new American fan.

Wondering if Coyne is any good. I Boxrec'd him and doesn't look too impressive.

Seems a big guy at the weight, so hopefully durable. Hoped for a higher/ well-ranked guy though to appeal to the American audiances, excluding other titlists and someone obviously realistic. Looking at schedules, someone like Chris Henry would have been ideal, very good, strong fighter and worthy contender.

Darn, well maybe they'll surprise us.

Ranked 73rd at 175 by boxrec. Few Ko's, no name opponents. Perfect Cleverly defense

i saw coyne fight on the don king feed of the alexander-matthysse undercard. he wasn't too impressive. maybe he's better-suited at 175 instead of cruiserweight

Freedom.

Coyne used to be a heavyweight, then he fought at cruiserweight.

I'm surprised he's moved down to light heavyweight.

He's tough, but not highly skilled. He'll likely take a beating from Cleverly.

Love your informative posts, Freedom. Thanks as always.

One of those times when you say "who?" not just about a fighter, but about every fighter he's faced. Ryan Coyne is basically this week's Jason Escalera, only with less of a punch.
