Official Cleverly vs. Kovalev Prediction, RbR & Discussion Thread

[PolishPummler]

A Frank Warren WBO paper chump who had his title handed to him rather than winning it in the ring...gee that has never happened before.

Kovalev savages the paper chump.

Lots of you pick Cleverly. How wants to bet then? I'll put some points for the fellow Russian. To me it's 60/40 for Nathan though. I pick skills over power, but I'll bet on Sergey

Decent punch? Yes Cleverly has outstanding KO ratio - that's a fact. Or is it?

His chin? He was rocked by light hitting Kusemsky - that's says a lot about his granite chin.

Kovalev by KO

I'd like to see all this posters predicting Clev win after this fight is over. I hope they pay due respect to the winner. I will surely do so if Cleverly wins.

I am no Cleverly fan I am a boxing fan, K/o ratio doesn't mean a fighter doesn't have power there are many different forms of power, also different level's of competition.

Carl Froch has the best if not one of the best chins in boxing yet he has been wobbled a few times that doesn't mean he hasn't got a good chin.

I look forward to seeing you on the forum after the fight, Just because I dislike a fighter doesn't mean I will root against him like most people on here I'm neutral in this fight And my neutral opinion is that Cleverly wins a UD or a late stoppage. Why so serious ? ..

Cleverly Got handed the belt because the ''Champion'' Juergen Braehmer failed to turn up a couple of days before the fight without any notification so rightfully he was stripped and the belt handed to Cleverly. Did you know this or ?

Kovalev is one serious russian fighter-kid man! You dont wanna **** with that kind of kid man! That kid is quite a big hitter and will murder Cleverly. Do they really believe they stand a chance against that guy?

I still don't see how Clev has a decent punch though. He's landed continually on guys like Krasniqi and Karpency and was never able to put them down or seriously hurt them. Same goes for his fights with Murat, Bellew, and Kuziemski. The only time he's really hurt an opponent over the last few years was against the mediocre Shawn Hawk, and Hawk was pummelled before he finally gave in.

Clev has below average power in my opinion.

Seems like people are more confident in Cleverly's chances after the weigh-in. Hopefully I can get some bets now.

No Clev's fans will take a bet.

Clev is a poet of the boxing ring -- because he's a mathematician.

Yh Cleverly will be even more intelligent tomorrow after Kovalev finishes schooling him.

I did not know that a man died in the ring against Kovalev.
