Comments Thread For: Frank Warren Shocked, Bellew Ready To Face Cleverly

[Clegg]

I wonder if they'll offer the fight to Erdei. He's due to fight at 175 soon and is a better fighter than Brahmer and a lot more of a champion as well. Probably too much risk for Warren to take, and too short notice than Erdei. Still, I hope they try for the fight.

The WBO rankings:

Champ JUERGEN BRAEHMER GER
Interim NATHAN CLEVERLY GB
1 Dmitry Sukhotsky (Int-Cont) RUS
2 Braimah Kamoho (WBO Africa) GHA
3 Soulan Pownceby (Asia-Pacific) USA
4 Eduard Gutknecht GER
5 Marcus Vinicius de Oliveira (Latino) BRA
6 Tomas Kovacs (WBO Europe) SOL
7 Zsolt Erdei HUN
8 Kariz Kariuki (Oriental) KEN
9 Chad Dawson NZ
10 Karo Murat GER
11 Aleksy Kuziemski POL
12 Isaac Chilemba MAL
13 Denis Simcic SLO
14 Tony Bellew GB
15 Viacheslav Uzelkov UKR

I have to admit that I haven't seen most of them fight. Gutknecht is decent for a last-minute sub but only fought recently.

Props to Bellew for stepping in!

Win or lose, he should be respected for doing this.

Cleverly must be devastated.

I imagine it will be Bellew who steps in.

In the BoxRec forum a poster says Bellew has been "confirmed by Darren Wilson from Nathan's Camp"

Wow, what great observations. I do not how you managed to figure out that Cleverly must be devastate.
