How can he duck him he's a mandatory? Do you actually understand what that means? You can't blame Cleverly for wanting to fight a unification first, he'll get his shot after.
Different if a Hopkins or somebody came calling but up a unification shot for this guy - when he's going to fight him 1 fight later.....
No chance.
And Kusimeski was a balance issue, Cleverly threw the shot leaving himself of balance when he was caught, but it did rock him.
However, this can happen to any fighter - Froch's been in with a lot of big ****ers and he said even sparring with Bellew with big gloves and head guard he found Bellew to be a big puncher and that hits very hard.
In fact so hard that he predicted Bellew'd knock Cleverly out. Well, Bellew caught Cleverly flush plenty of times and Cleverly was fine.
