Whether you like Cleverly or not, You got to give him respect for this. This fight is high risk, low reward and he wanted it bad. Wasn't a fan of Cleverly, but I am now!

wow, when was the last time your saw a title fight's negotiations finalized that quickly? I like Kovalev to win, but I give Cleverly credit for backing up his talk.

If there was ever a time for Ward and Froch to move up, it is now. Lt Heavy is starting to come alive again. Lots of fun matchups. 168 is dry now.

agree, the division hasn't been this good in a long time.

fair play to clev for taking this fight

im not fully sold on the kovalev band wagon like most of you guys, i think cleverly has enough skills to keep him at bay.

Where are all the people that said Cleverly would never take this fight then?

All this story looks like a soap opera...
I'm glad that B-Hop escapes disgrace...
Pray for Clev...

[Enzo Mc is SHIT]

It goes ahead until Clev gets injured in sparring and undertakes surgery that will keep him out of the ring for one year.
