Just watched the fight. Kovalev isn't very fast, but he has very good timing and he obviously hits very hard. He reminds me of a slower, more heavy-handed Kessler.
Cleverly still has no defense and he never has never shown any improvement in that area (probably because he has been fighting cab drivers to this point has never had to get work on anything). This was awful match-making. A guy with no power and no defense against a very hard puncher.
