Our own SnD and SnB have begged US TV forever to show the sensation. Here it is. :bears: Braehmer-Cleverly on Epix American premium cable channel Epix will televise promoter Frank Warren’s May 21st show at The O2 in London. The card features Juergen Braehmer defending his WBO light heavyweight title against interim titlist Nathan Cleverly, plus the highly-charged grudge match between rivals James DeGale and George Groves for the British and Commonwealth Super-Middleweight titles. Also on the card is Britain’s only ever World amateur champion Frankie Gavin. Epix presented Vilati Klitschko’s fight against Odlanier Solis in their debut fight card.
Cleverly is going to do a job on this guy, and he may be a dominant light heavyweight champion in the future.
Marcus did not train like he should have for that loss vs. Davis. Cleverly does not have that problem.
Latest press release says the fight will now be shown live due to popular demand. Cleverly is a full load and should stop this guy.
I'm surprised you're that high on Cleverly Karl. How come you've even seen him fight? His fights haven't been televised in the US have they?
Proper pumped for this one now, got my tickets for the West London boxing derby. Roll on Saturday! Team Chunky! :bears:
I haven't stopped watching the press conference and ringside and all the interviews to go with this fight, it's gonna be brilliant. I'm looking forward to the cleverly fight no doubt, but degale v groves is what it's all about.
Funny thing is, Cleverly-Braehmer is for a world title and DeGale-Groves is for the British and Commonwealth titles but the former feels like a support bout ::. Cleverlys had his own show stolen before it's even happened ::

I've been so occupied with the degale v groves fight build-up, i have not actually watched any braehmer fights , but will do now. It's mad because i remember watching degale v horton this time last year at upton park and being so impressed with degale, he was brilliant. I'm expecting another big performance from degale.
Not surprising. British fans support these local fights otherwise that crap Sky produces every Friday couldn´t last. :: Cleverly is Welsh just like Andy Murray is Scottish, until proven successful. ::
I've seen some great saturday night sky sports fights over the past year or so, (not pay-per-view fights), including burns v martine and rees v watson.

I think cleverly could blow braehmer out of there in less than 6 rounds. He'll be too fast and strong for braehmer, but if braehmer does last the distance (and the 2 fights he's lost has been on points), he'll lose heavily on the scorecards.
Source, www.boxingscene.com James DeGale has warned George Groves that he'll need more than David Haye in his corner to beat him on Saturday. The rivals meet for the British and Commonwealth super-middleweight titles at the 02 Arena, London, live on Sky Box Office Groves has boasted the fact that Haye will be giving him advice during the fight. But the presence of the WBA World Heavyweight champion doesn't bother Olympic gold medallist DeGale. "It will make victory all the sweeter because I don't like Haye much either," said Chunky. "At least Haye's got a world title. Groves has got nothing but an ugly face. He's just a wannabe who lives off Haye's name. "Groves will need a lot more than Haye and Adam Booth. "There's no way he can win this fight. "I read on Sunday that Haye compared me to Audley Harrison. "Well we both won Olympic gold, but that's where the similarities end. "Harrison was a phoney but I'm the real deal, and Haye and his puppet Groves are going to find that out on Saturday night. "Haye's been pulling his strings for months, but at the 02 Groves is going to find that ring a very lonely place."
