Comments Thread For: Nathan Cleverly-Tony Bellew Rematch is Sold Out

[Greed.]

Periban is crap. DeGale will school him.

Bellew's an idiot. Talks so much sht, i doubt he remembers half of what he says. His reasons for disliking Cleverley are "His bandana that he wore". What the f'uck is that about? He's overcooking his hatred of Nathan so much. It's just embarassing listening to him drone on in that awful accent.

I just can't imagine going to a show with such an underwhelming main event. It's already been done and it was a more significant fight back then. And it wasn't even that entertaining a fight.

Most people who bought tickets are dumb Scousers who have bought into this fake diluted rivalry that Eddie Hearn has manufactured between Bellew and Cleverly. Hence....mugs

The rivalry between these two is definitely real. Bellew hates Cleverly with a passion because of certain things which happened before their lightheavyweight title fight. Yeah, I know Bellew hates a lot of people with a passion, but Cleverly especially.
He was brought in as substitute for Jurgan Brahmer just 3 days before the first scheduled date for that fight but had to withdraw when he couldn't make the weight. When Cleverly criticised him for this at a presser Bellew exploded and had to be restrained from attacking Cleverly.
Remember that? "You f**kin rat ... let's f**kin do it right now ..." Lol. They had to bring the police in to restore order.

Yeah I'm aware of what happened. That doesn't amount to "hating" someone. Cleverly wound him up at the presser and he snapped. That's their "rivalry".

the animosity between these too is all fake, Id pick breahmer over these two thats how average they are.

[knockoutkid]

and it wont be perriban, it will be a stiff, world title challenger means someone like who stieglitz has been facing. lol thinking it will be perriban, it will be a soft touch to set up the froch fight, no risks.

There was more to it than that. Bellew said that when he was first asked to stand in for Brahmer he'd made it clear that 3 days might not be enough for him to make the weight safely and had been told that if he couldn't do it, they would give him a new date. Then at the presser Cleverly himself accused Bellew of being unprofessional, which was when Bellew snapped.

Great card IMO,, probably not PPv caliber though but they are at least having a name guy in each fight, similar to when espn had that PPv card a decade ago with mosely, mccline, citron-margs 1...

I actually dig this fight... It's a must win for both guys, plus they have a history..should be entertaining

It's Periban. I'd bet money on it.

Mate....I know what happened. I was watching it at the time. Cleverly wound him up and he snapped. Woop de doo. What an "intense" rivalry!
