Would Nelson beat TB with 6 months training?

[Tarkus]

PPl asking for refund on twitter. Some report a crime.

[the truth]

That fight was crap, cleverly clearly hand a problem
With his hand he must of needed the money , what a pile of tosh

[jenko21]

I heard the fight was the Hagler-hearns of the cruiserweight division

[Exoddus]

Bellew couldn't do anything to a bloke fighting with one hand. Overall I thought the PPV was terrible. Would have been a decent Sky Sports card but not box office .

[stujones]

Paul Smith world title shot?

[ALI]

Any word on what went wrong with Cleverlys right hand?

[gazza8]

SICK

sick cause i prob bought the hype. . . . . .

Johnny Nelson beats both these bums. . . . and id pay for that

Cleverly shouldnt have been back in a ring amd Bellew has found his level

[Boxerbeetle]

Sky sports just tweeted that Cleverly didn't have a hand injury. So why the fvck wasn't he throwing the right hand?? Tactical decision?!? Bah, I'm going to bed, this isn't even worth my fvcking disappointment.

he never mentioned it in the interview, right?

Can't wait for the 3rd fight..... I think they should charge £37.95

Apparently Sky's reporter went into the Cleverly's changing room backstage and they reported no problem with hand..... Nobody seemed to believe it though.

A 3rd fight wouldn't fill rodney parade let alone the millennium stadium

That just shows what a shit tactical decision it was - the fact that everyone thought something had happened to his hand says it all.

His strength is his combinations, his engine throwing multiple COMBINATIONS!

im glad clev jabbed like a bitch,im glad it was a shlt fight.The bumlicking retweet crew will be giving poor Eddie and Sky plenty after this.

I bet it would, Sky will just build it up even more and mugs will turn up and buy the PPV again. According to the commentators, it "really caught fire", in the last four rounds. I thought it was shocking. Bellew throwing slow punches against someone who can barely stand up.

[TheLeprechaun]

Looks like the Kovalev loss ended Cleverly as an ambitious fighter. He's all about the money now.

Yeah, good luck with that mate. I believe Sky's unofficial corporate mantra is "Caveat emptor".

[expe]

I dont think anyone else will have my 119-110 card for Tony but Nathan was shockingly poor and i just didnt like none of his offensive work to give him barely anything

Not a close fight IMO,but im not arsed,i just dont want to see that again

I just can't see how you could score it by 9 rounds to Bellew. Cleverly didn't land much other than jabs, but apart from the last 4 rounds, Bellew hardly landed anything, even in 9 and 12 he didn't land much. Cleverly's defence alone won him rounds for me.

Just the lack of anything but a poor pawing jab swayed me,i was impressed with Cleverly's defence as i said but as the first 8 rounds were so similar i suppose thats why my card is wide then with Bellews strong finish with Nathans workrate dropped to zero cemented it

I tipped Cleverly but his hand clearly must be hurt,i seen none of they slappy combinations

Preferred Cleverly's jab to Bellew landing nothing. Even in the last 4 rounds when Bellew supposedly came on strong I had Cleverly winning 2 of them, covered up well on the ropes and landed some good counters, Bellew wasn't landing anything clean, but Halling and Watt were giving him the rounds purely because he showed some attacking intent IMO, rather than him actually punching Cleverly.

[vargas]

No one really comes out of that fight with any credit to be honest. Cleverly was as it turns out a blown up LHW. Bellew and his self proclaimed power at CW, couldn't stop a one armed man even with 12 minutes of punches at a static target.

Don't think Bellew can beat any of the belt holders at CW. Would be interesting to see him in with Ola Afolabi though.
