CompuBox: Nathan Cleverly Fought at Blistering Pace

Lets talk about the fighters who beat Bhop by outhustling Bhop. Taylor: Bhop won this fight and most observers agree with that statement. However Taylor could punch. No one really hurts Bhop but there punches are able to move him back. Clev is more featherfisted than Calzaghe and Taylor. Calzaghe: Fight could have gone either way. Bhop landed the cleaner more telling blows but didn't do quite enough to win in the eyes of many. Calzaghe outlanded Bhop but never really hurt him with a clean shot that made him respect Calzaghe really. Clev does not have the power to hurt Hopkins Hopkins will walk right through Clev's volume punching because he has no power. He will not KO BHOP I guarantee that. Clev is gonna be too damn wild and Bhop might even outland him but I see Clev tasting canvass during this fight. I see Clev respecting BHOP early and late. I in fact see Clev tiring himself out and getting frustrated. The difference between the two fighters who beat BHOP by outhustling him are that the had better footwork than clev and had a lot more power than clev. The Calzaghe that fought Hopkins didn't have any pop in his punches. Calzaghe won that fight on workrate alone he just overwhelmed Hopkins.

I wonder if Krasniqi felt any of those pillows

It's a good fight for both fighters. And both could win, really.

I don't k it was a case of Clev not letting Robin into the fight, Kras just wasnt interested in anything except being a punching bag and collecting his paycheque. If I was a clev fan who saw it live I would be asking for my money back.

LOL! Love that, a guy from wolverhampton talking like B.A Barracus... Would love to hear you say that sentence out loud with your accent. Im no Clev fan at all, but I do think he might surprise people when he finally does start fighting some of the elite at 175. Dawson takes his to school, but anyone else and I think he makes it a contest with his workrate over 12 rounds. Ineffective aggression: Clevs game plan vs Hopkins will turn out to be. this fight will happen in America or not at all. Hopkins will outbox Clev and win a close decision because the judges will acknowledge the work rate coming from clev. If it happened in England the judges wont acknowledge the boxing ability of Bernard Hopkins and he'll get robbed by all 3 judges
