Cleverly

[Master]

Fenster is right Cleverly does need to work on his boxing skills he cannot keep relying on his work rate and chin. Nathan can be out boxed by a world class fighter.

Imo his skills are decent but its his "will" that needs to be put in check. To eager to please by mixing it up. He does not need to fight that way. He chooses to.

The thing is he is getting , drawn into a brawl I feeling he is trying to hard to please, I tell you he could
have boxed Bellew head off easy, I was thinking what the hell are you doing, he is making easy fights
hard. The better his opponent, he will raise his level to surpass them.

Time will tell, and at the moment I will sit on the fence.

Cleverly's defence worries me, given that he is walking onto shots thrown by guys who are generally poor in ability.
Secondly, it's easy to claim work rate as one of your strengths when you are hitting a static target. Pavlik had a very high work rate prior to fighting Hopkins, but you soon stop throwing leather when it misses.

This is my opinion he is trying to hard to please, if he sticks to using his boxing ability he will win
Hopkins is a spoiler, don't fight him at his game speed movement and a high work rate.
It take's more than 1 or 2 sneak right hands, to win a round, Calzaghe had him going but the play-acting old got was rolling on the floor like he had been shot.!
Nathan has more than enough, talent to beat him plenty may not agree but it's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.
