It's getting interesting though. Spicoli makes the great observation that that IS quite a bit of pressure on 'Clen to score the KO, and Tito also adds to that very same argument about 'Clen needing to get rid of that "sour taste in his mouth" of the Bivol embarrassment. A perfect storm, one could argue the flip side, for "Clen to overplay/overexert his hand and in his haste, well BOOM!, punches have been known to catch some off guard at the least expected moment. Let's be honest, how many times have we seen over-cocky fighters promising a KO, or itching so bad for one that they get blitzed in their haste? Good point about getting worked up "into a lather of dislike" too. That lather could depending on how lathery he has gotten himself really get him to take his eye off the ball just for a split second and the old wily street fight could, technically, strike at that right moment. We will see for sure. But the most BORING outcome here would be a "Clen UD or even SD. Even "Clen wouldn't be happy with that. So he could certainly in his zeal overplay his hand and that could spell unexpected disaster.
