Game plan - just keep your hands up, let him hit you, he's never gone past 8 and will fold.

Bernard Hopkins said about Cleverly - he doesn't understand defense, he just blocks punches with his arms. Respect.

No I'm saying Clev's team gameplan was stupid. Cleverly was barely throwing a punch, which is not the norm, because they thought get Kov in the later rounds and they'll beat him. But Cleverly has NEVER been hard to hit so just turned into a punch bag

Yep. Cleverly was never going to be one that could intelligently give a guy a few rounds. There is a difference between standing off and being a punch bag.
