Terrible mistake for Nathan Cleverly to fight Ilunga Makabu

[SnakeVen0m]

Respect to cleverly for taking on kovalev an now mnchu at a higher weight class. Both difficult fights

Yep, pretty much bottom line. He does deserve it, definitely wasn't like other titlist, he was and still is willing to challenge himself. I hope the best for him but his future isn't looking to bright ATM.

Makabu is very good. Short, compact southpaw counterpuncher with K.O power in both hands.

Horrible style match up for Cleverly. He will seriously hurt Nathan.

I'm not sure what is going on with Nathan Cleverly, there is being brave then there is absolute ******ity. He doesn't even belong at cruiserweight!
He couldn't even command respect at LHW. He is gangly & quite broad across the shoulders but he is certainly not a naturally big guy or particularly strong.

He needs to fight at LHW & avoid Kovalev & Stevenson and he should be okay. He will get obliterated at cruiser.

This fight is pure speculation. It's listed on BoxRec, that's all.

Cleverly is fighting on 15 Feb at the Copper Box.

Yeah, I don't see the reason for him to move up at all but maybe he will surprise us.

He lost one fight against a killer who is probably the best in the division, it's no reason for him to jump ship to another division.

Yeah I was really surpised when I saw it on boxrec, Makabu is, in my opinion, TOP 3 Cruiser right now or maybe even the best.

Respect for Clev for taking that fight, but he will get hurt badly.

[Los Zetas]

Cleverly's team isn't that smart, we all figured that out by now. Somehow, he's gotten them to believe his loss was a weight issue? Maybe he'll feel more powerful with more weight?!? I don't know.

It's clear Kovalev has serious power. Cleverly can still be a top 5 fighter at LHW IMO.

He's fighting Makabu you twat
Mnchu is the guy who fought Eddie Chambers

Doubt the fight happens.

Cruiserweight is a better prospect than LHW for Cleverly.
