What are the chances of something shady going down in the Cleverly fight

[Fenster]

Cheers, wasn't even thinking of that makes a lot of sense. Michael Watson and McLellan of course, any others I'm forgetting?

Paul Ingle.

Plus Spencer Oliver and there were two deaths in the ring - Bradley Stone and a Scottish fighter in a Brit title fight (can't remember his name )

I thinks it refreshing that a young champion would take on such a dangerous opponent when he did not have to. How many guys out there would even consider it? I can wait..... Garcia seemed to have to be backed into a corner in order to fight his freakin mandatory.

Anybody remember Victor Oganov? Another guy who had about 20 early knockouts and was going to steamroll everyone to the top. No way would a guy like Zuniga have a chance. Well? Now he's losing 5 rounders. I cant recall a fight in Wales that was controversial at all unless you count Arthur/Quigg. This is Clev's fight to lose. My only concern for him is his obsession to please the crowd. Stink out the place if need be. Just win the dam fight

I'm pretty sure it'll be a foreign ref for this fight. Unlike the vast majority of world title fights held in the US there won't be three domestic judges for this one, there'll be one Brit, one American and probably a South American. I'm guessing the ref will be South American too or Central American. The WBO are based in the DR and they seem to have a lot of Dominican refs and judges on their payroll.

Oganov wasn't anywhere near as good as Kovalev. He couldn't box for shit and never met anyone half decent before Zuniga. Kovalev is a lot more than a puncher imo, although I do favour Cleverly slightly. Expecting a great fight though, neither man is getting "exposed" here if you ask me, they are both talented boxers and this is a great matchup.

I just hope the ref won't be the incompetent Ian John-Lewis.

[FinitoElDinamita]

Well speak of the devil. Guess who the ref is for this bout?

Yep, none other than Terry O'Connor! Some notable fights he's been involved in :

Calzaghe-Mafredo <<< this one was a piece of work

McKenzie- Enzo <<< Only thing missing was the ski mask

Eubank Jr-Fedotovs

The plan seems to be in full effect.

Well the mask must have been fantastic considering it was Ian John-Lewis that reffed that

Terry is an incompetent moron. He screwed John McDermott out of a clear win in the Fury 1st fight.

That Calzaghe-Manfredo stoppage was terrible but he is renowed for being safety first. Although he gave the longest count ever for Khan in the Prescott fight in the hope he'd get the fuck up.
