Comments Thread For: Fonfara vs. Cleverly: BoxingScene.com Staff Predictions

[JakeNDaBox]

Andrzej Fonfara is eager for another shot at light heavyweight glory. Nathan Cleverly believes he has enough left in the tank to make a run towards a second title reign.

On paper, it adds up to an intriguing headlining bout Friday evening at UIC Pavilion in Chicago, Illinois. The scheduled 12-round affair tops the latest installment of Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) on Spike TV. [Click Here To Read More]

whether or not clev gets stopped he's going to know he's been in a fight by the end.

I like Cleverly, but I want Fonfara to knock him out - stone cold.

[Cuban Linx]

Fonfara by mid to late KO seems like best bet. Fonfara is a slow starter, but he wears you down as the fight goes on. If Cleverly can't hurt and stop him early he's going to be in a world of trouble heading into the latter part of the fight. I see Fonfara slowly breaking him down and finishing him in the 7th or 8th round.

I'm picking Cleverly to win on points. He has a good chin - Kovalev is the only man who has ever decked him - and a lot of stamina.

Fonfara is durable and fit too, but from what I've seen of him, he doesn't throw as many punches as Cleverly, that's why I'm going for Nathan to win it.

Jeez, I can't imagine what you would want to happen to poor ole Nathan if you in fact didn't like him??

clev looks to have fast hands but those are infact slaps and have no weight behind them, if he couldnt counter kovalev, I rekon he'll have a harder time as fonfara's punches are quicker and more compact. He better hold on.

[daggum]

cleverly will win this. he has joe cal in his corner

The real winner of this fight will be those of us who aren't watching it.

[Zaroku]

Clev will be caught, dropped then stopped by Fonfara.
