Anyone taking Bellew for this one? I think Clev is going to win this quite easily and by KO.
I'm really up for this fight, so good to see Frank growing a set of balls over the last year and match his fighters hard, so unlike Warren that i still pinch myself to make sure its not a dream
Cleverly goes in to the trenches in every fight he is in. That's why he's exciting. He's also knocking everybody out lately.
Bellew is the deluded one here. He's trying to instill confidence in himself, but I think that, deep down, he knows that to win this fight is a big ask and that Cleverly has been competing at a much higher level whilst Bellew himself only has been in with journeymen.
Also Bellew has been put down several times by very unremarkable guys, even bums with bad losing records. Cleverly will knock this kid out. It's like Tranmere Rovers in against Man Utd. Bellew has a chance... if Cleverly turns up out of shape and out of focus.
Bellew is showing similar characteristics to Audley Harrison here. Stats dont lie. He has been down several times. Cleverley should stop him in 6 rounds.
Bellew should move up to cruiser, he may have been down but he's never been hurt. Even when McKenzie dropped him with a big punch and he bounced off the canvas.
However, Bellew just doesn't have a boxing brain. Throws 1-2s all the time and doesn't have any variation or a plan B. Warren's cashing in him now while he can, after this defeat I hope he moves up.
