Very good fight in the light-heavyweight division. Cleverly will face an hard puncher like Fonfara. But, to me, the welsh man got more technical skills, and a superior hand speed. Anyway the favourite is the polsih man. I'd say 60% Fonfara and 40% Cleverly.

Have to favour Fonfara here but I think Cleverly will give him a good go. Cleverly has good skills but neglects them and prefers the more macho approach!

Fonfara by stoppage inside 9 rounds.

If Clev loses there's nowhere to go. If he wins then he's a player again. Would love to see him get a shot at Stevenson. He was unfortunate to come up against a special fighter in Kovalev, but seeing how good he has turned out to be Clev shouldn't be too hard on himself over it.

Personally think Clev is wasting his time being trained by his mate but hope he can do the business out there

I am hoping to be going to the Windy city to see this on the Friday and then fly to New York to watch GGG before flying home

Stevenson would ko him easier than he did Bellew.

Possibly, but only because Cleverly wouldn't run like Bellew did.

Yeh... He goes always forward, reamining exposed to the opponent punches.

Didn't know Merthyr had an airport? We are flying out on the wednesday to Chicago; weigh in Thursday; Fight Friday; fly to New York Saturday (only £55 from Chicago to NY!!) then fly back to Chicago and home Sunday. Where are you getting the GGG tickets from?

Merthyr has everything got them from ticketmaster, still plenty left I think!

What airline are you flying Chicago to NY? I'm in NY for GGG and thinking about going to this. Tickets are really cheap ($50 for tiered seats right alongside the ring) on ticketmaster.com so I'm tempted...

My mate is arranging all the travel but I think it was AA

Cleverly is done! Kovalev destroyed him mentally, he will never be the same. Not that he was that good anyway?

Should be Fun-for-a while, until Fonfara stops him.

fonfara is such an entertaing fighter,cant help to want him to spank nathan

Funfair by decision
