Nervous energy is good before a fight. Shows despite the chat, both are wary of each other.

Loved it when Bomber said, 'Let's fvckin' have it now'......and he was serious.

Should be a good fight. Bomber will give it his all and while I like Nathan, too, I hope Bomber pulls this off.

One was stating facts and the other one was talking potty. You decide who

Thought Cleverly calling Bellew a bum was a bit much. Might not be up to Nathan's standards at the moment, but he's by no means a bum.

But no mention of Bellew calling Nathan a fuc*ing rat Or saying he is going in the back of an ambulance

What happens before most boxing fights, is that they hype up the fight in order to generate interest. Don't put too much stock in what they say to insult each other.

i am a big fan of both fighters, bit with bomber being from the pool, I hope he wins spectacularly, if not i hope its a close fight!

Hmm, i hear what your saying, but iv watched it half a dozen times, and i'd say Clev is just trying to hype it up but Tony blows a fuse, you can see it in the way allegedly reacts.

Cleverly dominated Karo Murat (who beat former WBA light heavy champ, Gabriel Campillo). You can argue either way whether that makes him World class or not, but I wouldn't get hung up on it.

It's a bit of a stretch. Campillo went on to win a world title but against a pretty weak holder, although he does hold a win over Braehmer. It's tenuous.
