Cleverly Vs Kovalev

[CheeseRolls]

At least Cleverly now knows he doesn't have a granite chin, maybe he can go back and do some work on his defence. The father son combination may have worked for Calzaghe, but the Cleverly corner team looked a complete bunch of amateurs. Difficult to tell from that just how good Kovalev is. Obviously powerful and accurate, but was allowed to dictate the fight from the opening bell.

Really pleased for Darren Barker, he's been through a lot and I'm glad he's got his reward now.

Good win for Barker but he will do well to keep away from Golovkin , maybe a rematch with Martinez next if he can stay injury free ?

Dose of reality for Cleverly. He has believed his own hype for too long. His last three opponents were nothing short of embarrassing. Maybe that isn't nessacerily his fault but all the same he has still been shouting his mouth off comparing himself to
Calzaghe and calling out Carl Froch. I'd stake my life that his next three opponents are ones we have never heard of before he picks a fight with the easiest light heavyweight title holder.

Cleverly now rated No.18 in the rankings which sums him up, he was never a bona fide World champ and beating the likes of Karpency and Hawk would never make him ready for Kovalev. I can't understand how Frank booked this fight as he has now lost one of his bigger names to headline the fights on Box Nation, maybe Enzo will get a WBwhatever title tilt ?
