BOXNATION - RED MIST - Cleverly v Kovalev Saturday Night Fight CHAT THREAD

Lights turned off in the cheap seats.

Easy round for Kovalev

If they think Kovalev is a one gear bomber they're fools

Sensible by Cleverly just to feel his opponent out rather than start mad. I think he can do afford to do another round or two of this before opening up too much.

Cleverly needs to throw more.

Barry Jones has KOv two up.

2-0

Kovalev is not so in love with his power to have neglected his boxing. Good fighter.

Either cleverley felt the power and is reluctant or he is waiting until the halfway point

My mrs rampant rabbit doesn't bounce as much as cleverly.

Yea!!!

Very solid punch selection, natural power ohh damn!!!

I knew it.
Frank warren bribing the ref again.

Fuck. Cleverly is done, he can't take the power at all.

cunts gonna get hin killed

Man against boy. Like how Kovalev told Cleverly to suck his dick and than dropped him

Really ref carries the fighter to the corfner. I ain't ever sen that wtf con job

Holy shit!

He said he wanted to go for a ko. Ooopps:-X

Damn, with the exception of Froch, no Brit has a god damn chin.

Do give Cleverly credit for taking a fight he had no chance of winning.

Clev had nothin for kovalev, not only does he have twice the power he also semed the better more acurate and active boxer

I loved his relaxed style.

Very confident.

Nathan first ever proper fight.

JC is a better boxer.

Very low punch output from Cleverly even in the early rounds.

TKO, no arguments about it.

I missed it by 4 rounds. Kovalev ain't no joke!!!!!

I'm disappointed with that performance. Cleverly just had no idea what to do and was flopping around like a fish. The commentator talks about granite chins, but a granite chinned fighter doesn't get stopped in 4. If anything Cleverly perhaps reminds me more of Enzo Mac rather than Joe Calzaghe. :-\

A terrible showing and you have a hard time seeing Cleverly doing all that much now that the chin has been checked.

You can now see how long frank warren can carry his fighters and make them millionaires if they dont fight the right opponent.

It was like a man vs little boy. Clev had that look about him after the very first round like WTF did I get myself into .

I admit I went back and forth with this bout but ultimately, I had to pick logically and not with my heart..

With that said, I can't believe so many of you Brits actually picked Clev.

Say what you like about Cleverly and how he got his belt, that was impressive from Kovalev.

What the fuck is Bunce on about now?

Bring on hopkins!!

John David Jackson has been good for Kovalev. Doesn't try to turn him into something he's not. Kovalev is a knock out fighter. And they go for the knock out

Yeah kovalev is a beast I mean first round clev was covering up but his head snapping each time kovalev threw anything, I think he cracks most any chin dude is sickly and if he has you hurt you're out of there....

I think you have to give Kovalev a bit more credit. Yes Cleverly didn't box to plan but he was never going to be Joe. Kovalev is VERY good. Cleverlys dad is a dick.

The ref stopped the fight...then sat him down and let the fight carry on.

Bunce wants a rematch
