Cleverly dealt blow with last-minute opponent change

[Cassius Liston]

Yeah he should blow this guy out in 3-4rounds I would say

yeah i agree with you...this fight is a joke

Did Cleverly's new opponent end up making weight? I was at the weigh-in today but he failed at the 1st attempt, haven't heard anything since though.

"That man was Nathan Cleverly's opponent Nabjid Mohammedi, who was a mere 100g over the 12st 7lbs light-heavyweight limit. The Frenchman, who called in as a late replacement on Wednesday night, stripped naked but was still just over - but came back later to hit the 175lbs requirement.

Cleverly himself looked calm and confident as he came in 8oz under at 12srt 6½lbs."

Thanks mate, glad that got sorted. Cleverly looked relaxed at the weigh-in today, was sat in the coffee bar inside the building where the weigh-in took place and looked happy to take photo's with fans ect.

Also seen DeGale going into Nandos in Liverpool about half an hour after the weigh-in, putting the weight back on straight away haha.

**** really?

Hope he is going to get plain chicken and water only.


Cleverly is cool man. Went to school with him. Year above he was. I live by him (well his dad as i guess he moved out now)

[Chrismart]

Thats cool that you went to school with him mate. Good to hear hes a decent fella aswell.

I like Cleverly, i think he will go on to do well in the division. I was gutted when i heard his fight might of been off, as he was one of the main reasons i got a ticket for the card. I was looking out to see if there was any tension between him and Bellew today, didnt see anything though.
To be fair i dont think that fight will ever happen as Bellew isnt in the same leauge as Cleverly in my opinion.

[SirTomJones]

Nah don't think it will happen. Calzaghe and Hatton all had domestic fighters chasing them through out their career and never fought each other.

Gutted Froch V Calzaghe never happened.

DeGale V Smith should be the best fight. DeGale is gonna get given **** from the fans.

[Chrismart]

Haha yeah mate Degale took some stick today..he seems to lap it all up though.

Should be a good fight. Ive been following Smith for a good few years now, so il be rooting for him. I do like DeGale aswell to be fair.
Smith can be a gritty, tough fighter, so im expecting him to try take DeGale into the later rounds and into unknow terrority. But iv got a feeling DeGale will be to slick for him on the night.

Hopefully its a decent fight

real shame tbh

War Paul Smith!
