The lack of power is a real concern.
A pressure fighter that lacks any power is about as useful as a pedal powered wheelchair.Comment

Like I've said in the past, having a good high punch output is good. At the end of the day though, anyone can stand in there and throw lots of punches. It's about putting your punches together in concise accurate world class combination. That's something Cleverly hasn't learned yet.
His trainer needs to make him work on using his jab, train him on controlling range and distance with the jab. His trainer needs to make him work on his footwork, and train him on controlling things from distance, because he has the length and athletic ability to learn these things. He needs to learn how to pick his shots more, and sitting down on them more, not just throwing, but picking your punches and putting them together in a controlled concise accurate crisp manner. But if he steps up and fights Cloud, Hopkins, Dawson, Pascal and even Campillo, I think Cleverly loses badly if he goes in there fighting the way he did tonight.Comment
