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.
Only seen Cleverly a time or two, but he's a very courageous and capable boxer. Saw Jack a time or two as well and he's a rugged puncher. Felt he won his last fight against the 168 lb titlist Brit whose name now escapes me. Anyway, this looks to be a good fight and it's a decent undercard overall imo. The classy and courageous Steve Cunningham is also fighting.
