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

[Vendettos]

How we calling this?

Clev has the experience with undefeated fighters, Kov not so much. Plus Clev has the 12 rounds, Kov is an 8 rounder fighter.

Cleverly UD for me.

Clev will win by stoppage.

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.

[Gandalf]

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

[Gandalf]

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.

Bring on hopkins!!

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.

No, fair play to him and his power is clearly unpleasant, but Cleverly never really showed any gears or versatility. He started cautiously and as soon as he was hurt he lost it. He could have retreated and tried to survive the 3rd round and just clear his head, but instead he got himself brained and in boxing you have to have savvy otherwise you are just another number, which might well turn out to be the case. I just think it is such a shame.

It's sad that Cleverly is more Enzo Mac than Joe Calzaghe. He was utterly. Still, you are right Kovalev deserves his credit and though I don't think he can box especially well, he will fuck you up given the slightest sniff. If anything Hopkins should avoid this fight, but it would be fascinating to see if he can play the matador.

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

Shoulda been stopped right there...I mean fuck you're in there with a dude who saddly tragically is part of an in the ring death, why fucking risk getting seriously injured.

[Fenster]

I'm just glad you cunts that kept comparing him with Calzaghe can now shut the fuck up.

[FinitoElDinamita]

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

Well that's the least he could have done after getting payed under the table by warren

Yup. His cockiness crawled up and bit him in the ass. It was my biggest fear for him going in.

Bunce wants a rematch
