Nathan Cleverly-Badou Jack - Excellent fight! (Floyd undercard).

[Fenster]

Excellent fight.

Cleverly fought like a demon last time forcing the excellent badass vet Brahmer to swallow, even though the German is past his sell by date. And before that had a good punchup with Fonfara, although that form has taken a few knocks, but still, he fought for half the fight without a nose.

I see many American fans think this is a mismatch (surprise surprise ) yet Jack is moving up in weight, doesn't have a great output and isn't Julian Jackson.

This is Jack's form (last ten fights) - Lost TKO 1, Drawn 3-times, MD win, SD win, two UD's and two stoppages against borderline journeymen. So even when this man wins he doesn't win big, which is solely based on his steady-eddie style, he's not a sparko artist and benefitted from being a massive strong supermiddle.

Cleverly is gonna bring the fight to him throwing a million punches which will guarantee rounds in the bank (with fair judges). So barring getting knocked out, which doesn't look likely on paper, all he has to worry about is whether or not he gets a fair shake in America/Vegas, as even though Jack will be the more precise, slicker fighter the rounds will be a constant coin-flip of volume-vs-eye catching shots.
