Cleverly Speaks

scary feeling when, in the first round, you catch the other guy's jab in your glove and FEEL it. Or take the right hand off your shoulder and it moves you...He felt that and didn't know how to handle it; it seems he let it screw with his mind.
Nigel Benn felt it with McClellan and went to war. Tunney knew it going in against Dempsey and stuck to his fight plan. It affects people differently...
Boxing is a lot dependant on how you control your feelings. And no slight to him, he took the fight, took the punches and got up.

Cleverly is a likeable man and comes across well in interviews. He does need to change trainers and move away from his dad, he has not developed his boxing skills and ability, it is the same every fight with no progress. Nathan can come back better and improved.

Summed up perfectly. Not every father and son team can be as successful as the Calzaghes.The great ones come back from things like this.

Nathans body lanuage after the first round showed everything.
