Kovalev hasn't been tested!

[Arsene Knows]

All I get from this is that Cleverly fans are shook.

Kovalev fought bums lol & there is Nathan fighting murderers row; Tommy Karpency, Shawn Hawk, Mohammedi

Its funny how they big up Karo Murat, they must not of seen Campillo get not one but two bull**** decisions against Murat in his hometown.

Cleverly ****d Murat and made him quit so what's your point?

Thread isn't even about Cleverly. He hasn't fought anybody but he's not getting anywhere near the same hype as Kovalev who has done *** all either. In fact, Cleverly get's the exact opposite of hype.

That's cause he's been one of the worst champs in boxing for a good while, in terms of comp fought. I don't think he's a bad fighter, he has a chance against Kovalev or most LHW, but that answers your question.

He didn't quit at all, the paid off British ref went to his corner and waved it off for no particular reason! In fact I am pretty sure I recall Murat having one of his best rounds just before.

My point is Murat is an average Euro level boxer.

And Cleverly may not get the hype on here but in the U.K he most certainly does and is overrated as hell.

He's 26 years old. The fights haven't happened for him through no real fault of his own.

Jurgen Braehmer backed out at the last minute so he had to fight for the vacant title. Hopkins (x2), Shumenov and Froch (x2) all rejected fight offers from him. Kovalev could potentially walk away from this fight. LHW is not a deep division.

Campillo beat Murat, shumenov and cloud and should have been the WBA and IBF champ when he fought kovalev. You might not rate him but he was clearly the top LHW behind Hopkins and Dawson.

This x1000. You guys can't be serious, can you?


All you guys are doing is looking at boxrec.... If you knew anything about that fight before Kovlaev KOd him... Campillo was considered the "unofficial" champ

No particular reason other than he'd been butt-***ed the entire fight.

I live in the UK and he does not get hype. Most UK fans dislike him because he's with Frank Warren and has called out/offered fights to Froch.

AFAIK he's not even that much of a local attraction. He young doe.

Why watch fights when you can just look it up on boxrec?
So much faster and it makes you look more knowledgeable

Yeah that's about 75% of the people posting about Kovalev-Campillo the past few days in a nutshell......

Had barely heard of the bloke until last week.

You having heard of them is not a generally accepted measure of a fighter's quality.

You not having heard of him means jack shit.
