Re: Nathan Cleverly v Tony Bellew / Piotr Wilczewski v James Degale
The cagey stuff begins in round 3, both of them switching some good jabs, and Bellew maybe doing a bit more of the work to actually win the round. 29-28 to the challenger.
Re: Nathan Cleverly v Tony Bellew / Piotr Wilczewski v James Degale
More good work from Bellew in round 4, with plenty of good jabs and a few body shots as well thrown in there, but Cleverly looks to be struggling with what Bellew is bringing, looking more polished as a boxer than he did in the 2nd McKenzie bout. 39-37
Re: Nathan Cleverly v Tony Bellew / Piotr Wilczewski v James Degale
Round 5, and the pendulum swings back to Cleverly. Good work in the first half of the round, some decent uppercuts from Cleverly, but a few body shots straying low, and Clev gets a telling off. Bellew comes back in the second, but brings the gap back to one round. 48-47 bellew

Round 6
Another good round for Cleverly, plenty of work to the body softening up the scouser, and some good uppercuts too. Bellew and Clev exchanging low blows, neither of which get picked up by the ref. 57-57
Re: Nathan Cleverly v Tony Bellew / Piotr Wilczewski v James Degale
Big effort from Bellew, lots of body shots and hooks, but Cleverly slipping plenty of those shots. Bellew is looking tired, but he took that round for me. 67-66 Bellew
Re: Nathan Cleverly v Tony Bellew / Piotr Wilczewski v James Degale
Cleverly squares it up once again, Bellew really seems to be struggling to keep up with Nathan's stamina, his shots becoming laboured. Cleverly fighting clever, and Bellew landing a lot on arms, elbows and gloves. 76-76
Re: Nathan Cleverly v Tony Bellew / Piotr Wilczewski v James Degale
Round 9, and I felt that Cleverly is boxing very smart in there, letting Bellew throw shots and deflecting or dodging them well. Good footwork and movement, and some good counters to give clev the edge. 86-85 Clev
Re: Nathan Cleverly v Tony Bellew / Piotr Wilczewski v James Degale
Sorry armin, I'm seeing Bellew missing a little too much. He landed two big punches in that round, but the rest of it was Cleverly. My head says that was Cleverly's round, but I'll score it for Bellew as a good shot.
95-95
Re: Nathan Cleverly v Tony Bellew / Piotr Wilczewski v James Degale
Cleverly easing away in the eleventh, Bellew look to be tired, and some body shots and uppercuts edging Cleverly ahead. 105-104
