Bernard Hopkins said about Cleverly - he doesn't understand defense, he just blocks punches with his arms. Respect.
Issue is when ya punch like kovalev it don't matter if the dude has his hands up, in the first round his hand were up yet his had was still snapping back.

Haha just actually got what ya sayin
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.
