This is the classic battle of wisdom against youth that we get so often.
Nathan Cleverly is the youngster, the one with the energy and the enthusiasm, but does he have the wherewithal and know-how to deal with a wily old customer like Tony Oakey?
How he deals with someone with that wisdom will tell us a lot about how far Cleverly is going to go.
He is clearly a prospect, but it is a bit too early to judge whether or not he has that star quality, that extra edge that will set him apart from the rest of the light-heavyweight division.
