Don't know if anyone picked up on these interesting comments by Tony Bellew at the Final Press Conference for the Nathan Cleverly fight.
He seemed to be implying that Cleverly's drinking had got so far out of control, that he's been going to AA meetings to remedy it. Did the defeat to Kovalev have a bigger effect on him than we thought? Or has he always had a drinking problem?
And the most interesting part was when Bellew started whispering in the Face-to-Face about how Vince Cleverly, Nathan's father and former trainer, needed to "stay away from young girls". Could this be the real reason he was fired as Nathan's trainer?
Obviously Bellew is trying to get into Cleverly's head but I didn't get the feeling that he was flat out lying and Nathan didn't seem to try to deny any of it.
Most interesting part of the build-up so far for me. He really went personal on him.
Ironically, Fury and Bellew are now friends :lol1:
Tyson charmed him away from Pricey.
Everyone loves Fury once they get to know him. Ask Steve Cunningham.
Tyson Fury said Bellew is Price's gay lover and I believe him. They both are stiff as hell, both have weak chins and they both pretty much suck.
War Cleverly

As a man who stopped drinking 10 months and 21 days ago, for Cleverly maybe it was that bad of a problem. I never went to A.A. meetings, I can't stand them and I find them telling you to say, "You're hopeless & powerless over Alcohol" is very counterintuitive to help a person stop drinking. Plus, you have to have will-power. It is a choice at the end of the day.
But Kovalev is just a superior boxer, you saw what Kovalev & Stevenson did to Cleverly & Bellew, they are just better fighters than these two but I can't wait for the fight, I'm off Saturday so I can't wait and then Pacquiao vs. Algieri. :boxing:

War Cleverly
Bellew had better win the fight, otherwise he is going to look like a complete idiot to be honest...
TB is clearly a thick as a box of bricks - but he is entertaining.
They obviously hate each others guts so it should be a good tear up.
I was born in Liverpool, but my dog is Welsh - so I am neutral on this one.
I agree with orwell.
Bellew is Juanma's lost bigger in size brother.

Better work from Bellew; these guys have been miserable hypemen thus far. Tony has it in him to be a proper villain but he rides the line.
Buy some gold sunglasses and go all in, son. We need you.
I found another source on the allegations of Cleverly's father http://www.southwalesargus.co.uk/news/10279590.print/
Fuk me, never heard about any of that! That's about his uncle, not his dad but still interesting nonetheless. Either Bellew got it wrong or his dad might be connected somehow?
Apparently the uncle was jailed for 4 years!

Don't see that at all. Never expected that allegation.
Had another little listen and I heard Clev say "I got out of that ages ago. 14 months".
Sounds like there's definitely some truth to it.
I was mostly having a dig at his welsh accent :lol1:
Maybe immediate result of the Kovalev beating?
Bellew is a legend.
Cleverly looks and talks like a drunk, so no surprises there.

The fight should be reasonably entertaining because they both get hit. But the real show will be Periban vs. DeGale. That's the biggest fight on the card in terms of talent.
Guess you haven't seen Periban's last fight.
Lol....it seems that no one has picked up on the comments about Vince. He always came across as a complete tosser but never expected to hear that stuff.
Not that I know of.
The whole situation with Cleverly leaving his dad and then briefly going to Adam Booth before going back to Wales to train with someone who used to work under his dad does seem odd.
I just remembered too that Cleverly postponed his comeback 2 or 3 times with "injuries". Perhaps he was still struggling with the booze?
This has been the most intriguing part of Cleverly-Bellew for me....lol I don't even care about the fight.

Is there any evidence besides what Bellew said?
