Nathan Cleverly to fight Andrzej Fonfara on October 16th

by

cleverly677By Scott Gilfoid: Numerous news sources are reporting that 28-year-old former WBO 175lb champion Nathan Cleverly (29-2, 15 KOs) will be back inside the ring two months from now on October 16th in Chicago, Illinois. The fight is yet to be announced officially, so you have to take this with a grain of salt.

Cleverly wants the bout because he feels it will show the boxing world that he’s for real. The reality is if Cleverly can’t beat a fighter like Fonfara, then he needs to either retire or downsize his ambitions, because there are better fighters at 175 than Fonfara.

Cleverly turned down a title shot against WBA “regular” light heavyweight champion Juergen Braehmer. Cleverly decided on taking the better paying fight against Fonfara. I suspect Cleverly will soon regret his decision when he gets inside the ring with the hard hitting Fonfara.

The talented #2 WBC, #3 WBA light heavyweight contender Andrzej Fonfara (27-3, 16 KOs) sees no reason why he can’t totally obliterated former WBO 175 pound champion Nathan Cleverly (29-2, 15 KOs) when the two of them face each other in three to four months from now in the fall.

Fonfara notes that Sergey Kovalev totally smashed Cleverly when they fought each other in the summer of 2013, so he doesn’t see why he can’t do the exact same thing when he battles the #11 WBA ranked Cleverly.

chavez300By Dan Ambrose: Last Saturday’s match-up between former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (48-2-1, 32 KOs) and #4 WBC light heavyweight contender Andrzej Fonfara (27-3, 16 KOs) failed to bring in the huge ratings that Chavez Jr. previously was accustomed to in the past when he held down the World Boxing Council 160 pound title from 2011 to 2012.

The Chavez Jr-Fonfara fight brought in a peak of 836 thousand viewers with an average of just 618 thousand on Showtime Championship Boxing from the StubHub Center in Carson, California, according to Dan Rafael of ESPN.

By Dan Ambrose: Last Saturday night former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (48-2-1, 32 KOs) quit on his stool following the 9th round in his fight against light heavyweight Andrzej Fonfara (27-3, 16 KOs) at the StubHub Center in Carson, California. Chavez Jr. had been knocked down in the 9th by a short left hook by Fonfara that Chavez Jr. appeared not to be expecting. And while Chavez Jr. got back to his feet and did an admirable job of surviving the remaining seconds of the round, he ended up quitting on his stool after the round had ended.

By Dan Ambrose: A day after his total wipeout of former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (48-2-1, 32 KOs), #4 WBC 175 pound contender Andrzej Fonfara (27-3, 16 KOs) has seen his stock soar sky high with the victory at the StubHub Center in Carson, California.

While Chavez Jr. is talking about wanting a rematch, Fonfara has his sights set on getting a rematch against WBC light heavyweight champion Adonis Stevenson. Fonfara has a very good chance of getting another shot at Stevenson after the destruction job he did on Chavez Jr.

Chavez Jr’s purse $2.5 million, Fonfara $400K

chavez9999By Dan Ambrose: Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (48-2-1, 32 KOs) received a nice payday of $2.5 million last night in getting stopped after the 9th round by Andrzej Fonfara (27-3, 16 KOs) at the StubHub Center in Carson, California.

The money that the 29-year-old Chavez Jr. received pales in comparison to the $7 million that he would have received had he agreed to face WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin last year that would have taken place on July 19th. That’s $4.5 million that Chavez Jr. will never receive now.

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr vs Andrzej FonfaraBy Dan Ambrose: After taking a beating at the hands of #4 WBC light heavyweight contender Andrzej Fonfara (27-3, 16 KOs) last night in their fight at a catch-weight of 172 at the StubHub Center in Carson, California, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (48-2-1, 32 KOs) wants an immediate rematch against the 27-year-old Poland born Fonfara.

Chavez Jr. surprisingly believes that he was winning the fight at the time that he quit on the stool after the 9th round had ended. But Chavez Jr. appeared to win only the 4th round, and he looked hopefully outclassed in the other rounds of the fight. If Fonfara agrees to a rematch against Chavez Jr, he’ll have to face him at another catch-weight because that’s what Chavez Jr. wants.

Froch’s dreams of a Chavez Jr fight appear to be dashed

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr vs Andrzej FonfaraBy Scott Gilfoid: After sitting around and burning up an entire year of his career waiting on a fight against former WBC 160 pound champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (48-2-1, 32 KOs), IBF super middleweight champion Carl Froch (33-2, 24 KOs) may need to go in another direction for his dream fight under the lights of Las Vegas, Nevada, as Chavez Jr. was whipped badly by light heavyweight contender Andrzej Fonfara (27-3, 16 KOs) in quitting on his stool in between rounds after a 9th round knockdown last Saturday night at the StubHub Center in Carson, California.

The fight was so one-sided that you could make an argument that it should have been halted after the 5th or 6th round, because Chavez Jr. was little more than a big punching bag with a coat of fat on him.
