Cleverly took a lot of punishment by staying on the inside when his best chance of winning was to keep Fonfara on the end of his jab. Instead Fonfara flipped the script and kept Cleverly on the end of his punches and when Cleverly covered up he just destroyed him on the inside. Cleverly showed he's tough, but not very smart or adaptive.
    Cleverly wins that fight without the broken nose, there is no question about that in my mind. His punch output went down, in the second half, because he was protecting that broken nose. Did he get the broken nose on the inside or the outside?
    Even with the broken nose, one of the most painful and bothersome injuries a fighter can fight through, he was still involved in a record breaking fight. Three winners in that fight, Fonfara, Cleverly, and boxing fans in my opinion.

    Im sure it was a right uppercut on the inside that did the damage.
