    I'm happy for the kid to get a chance to fight in America, will raise his profile and should help him get bigger fights.

    A lot's been said but he's only had 3 defences.

    Breahmer pulled out last minute so he had to fight replacement.

    Bellew was a rivalry in his own backyard that had been baiting Cleverly for years. It was no 'thrashing' but Cleverly won that by a couple of rounds.

    His last opponent I agree was awful but he wanted a homecoming and the only venue available due to not being Summer held 5,000 or so.

    If you want to get a good pay day that its better to get an opponent that'll take far less of the purse.

    When people take a opinion or dislike to someone - they can do no right no matter what.

    I agree now is the time that he has to step up the opposition, at least he is coming out of the UK to defend his title and raise his profile stateside.

    It may be Warren that people are holding a grudge against, this, however, is a most definitely a move in the right direction but, again, I'm sure it'll be somehow slated and dismissed negatively, someway, somehow.

      'Thrashing' and 'took Bellew to school' are strange comments..very close fight that one.

      That aside, its good to see Cleverly going over to fight on a Golden Boy card. A fight or 2 in America then a fight against the likes of Shumenov sounds a good path to take. Hope it all pans out that way.

        Wonder why GBP asked Cleverly to come fight in the US... Out of everyone out there.

          "Targeting" never amounts to anything.

            Why is he waiting until 2013 to "target" Shumenov? Shumenov has been sitting on his ass waiting for fights for two years, besides a few bum fights. Why not "target" him for THIS fight? Not like he has anything else scheduled

              That's what I wanna see. B-Hop breaking his own record of oldest man to win a world title and at the same time taking another young fighter's O.

                We don't know much about Cleverly in the U.S except what we read and see on YouTube...he really needs this exposure...
