The Badou Jack vs Nathan Cleverly fight is gonna probably be the best one on the card. Cleverly can fight and he has fought in the USA a few times already so he has hopefully progressed to being more than just a Brit homegrown fighter. His win over Brahmer in Germany was solid. As for Jack, I like the guy a lot but he is moving up in weight and IMO should not be a 3 to 1 fave.

The undercard fights on FOX look to be good, Ive always liked Steve Cunningham, that fight will be decent against TMT's Tabiti. Ugas is a late replacement for Showtime Porter, but Porter was a wide favorite against Thomas Dulorme and Ugas vs Dulorme looks a lot more competitive. The HBO card topped by Cotto vs Kamegai is not bad fair if you want to switch channels around.....

I agree with Miguel, Jack-Cleverly will be the best fight on the card. Cleverly is a volume puncher by nature and Jack has shown that he is not afraid to mix it up. Cleverly volume leaves openings and Jack will counter. Could be a lot of punches thrown and should be an action fight.
Tabiti-Cunnignham could be good too. Cunningham has been in his share of wars in the past and Tabiti is athletic and a good puncher but raw. This could have some good spots of action.
As for Davis-Fonseca, I originally handicapped Fonseca as potentially making things interesting. The fact though that Davis did not even attempt to make weight while Fonseca squeezed down to the limit could be very telling for the chances of Fonseca. He sacrificed to make the weight and Davis did not. Davis will be fresher and probably much bigger. Fonseca's chance was dragging this out late while working the body consistently early to wear down Davis but that seems even more unlikely now. I like Fonseca, thought in a fairer fight he'd stand a chance but those odds just got longer.
If watching the freeview, Ugas-Dulorme will be good. Maybe not a war but a skilled competitive boxing match.
