    Comments Thread For: Cleverly: When Kovalev Loads Up, I'll Take Him Apart

    WBO World Light-Heavyweight Champion Nathan Cleverly says he’ll leave KO machine Sergey Kovalev “shaken and stirred” when they clash on Saturday 17th August at Cardiff’s Motorpoint Arena.

    The Welsh hero met with the media today at the Grosvenor Casino in Cardiff Bay looking debonaire in a tuxedo in the role of James Bond as he counts down to his own Russian roulette showdown with the unbeaten Kovalev.

    Cleverly, 26, is relishing his East versus West super-fight against the iron-fisted “Krusher” who has anniahlated 19 of 21 victims with a staggering 18 coming inside three rounds and is confident he’ll finish off the seemingly invincible Kovalev.

    “His record is scary reading, it’s just KO after KO, but the more I look at it the more I’m motivated to really take this guy out and prove that I’m not afraid to meet anybody, no matter what their reputation is because that is what a champion does, he faces his challenges,” Said Cleverly.

    “It’s not an easy fight by any stretch of the imagination, I’ve picked the hardest puncher in the division and I can’t get reckless against him. He’s a massive massive puncher, but when he loads up for these big punches he’ll leave me openings and then I’ll take this guy apart,”

    Can't wait for this! One of my most anticipated fights of the year. Toughest fight on paper for both guys thus far, but I've said this from the beginning: Cleverly has no chance. I like the lad and wish him the best but he'll be out of there by the 6th round, book it.

        Funny comments. Kovalev throws short punches, probably has faster handspeed and Cleverly isn't a counter puncher. Good luck with that.

              I'm going to predict a Cleverly KO.

                  If, and that's a big if, Cleverly is still in good shape after the 6th round he wins this, possibly by stoppage.

                    The last fighter who resisted Kovalev 6 rounds in the ring died from brain injuries after two days.
