Hello,

Anyone have any information about what's happening with this chap? I'm assuming his viral infection has cleared up and he's back in the gym.

Will the highly anticipated fight with 'Sugar' Robin Krasniqi be rescheduled or does Nathan have bigger fish to fry, and if so, when is he going to fry them?

Finally, what do we see the next 12 months holding for Cleverly? Personally I think he'll have a string of Krasniqi's and Karpency's with a mandatory fight in there somewhere and then a way past it named opponent in 2013. Someone like Edison Miranda.

Thoughts?

I know I take the piss out of Clev and the old man, and think he lost to Bellew, but it's a great shame that someone with his potential is seemingly going to waste.

With some fine tuning and risk taking he could have a great career, IMHO.

I agree. I like Nathan (just about), but his team and the way he's been brought on post-Murat has been shite. It's difficult to be a fan.

He'd be wise to Isaac would mess him up
Are we talking about the same Chilemba?

Chilemba wildly flails his arms, while completely squared up, with the most atrocious footwork. Chilemba was hurt and dropped numerous times by that Polak/Eastern Euro randomer last year, there's no way he would beat Cleverly.

EDIT: It's on YT, dude is called Maxim Vlasov (I've never seen him fight other than against Chilemba, so he could be a world beater for all I know.)

Chilemba has improved a lot since then and don't forget that guy was undefeated and hasn't lost since Chilemba defeated him. Chilemba isn't the most talented boxer ever but he is very good to the body which Cleverly has a weakness to I suspect and also Cleverly has to dictate the pace of a fight which Chilemba simply wouldn't let him do and Chilemba would beat him on the inside up close as Bellew showed if you come at Cleverly he is lost

It wasn't Bellew coming at Cleverly that made him look lost, it was his excellent jab that had Nathan confused, when Tony and Nathan went toe to toe Nathan came off better. Nathan still came through and beat Bellew after losing a few rounds, and for my money Bellew is a superior fighter to Chilemba, although very different.
