Comments Thread For: Jones: Cleverly Has To Avoid Trading Shots With Kovalev

[Hougigo]

Lol that version of campillo was crap. Everybody knows it.

he was crap when he fought kovalev?

[Cunning]

I don't mind Campillo. But Cleverly is a league above. He'll prove it over the next 3 fights.

[Enzo Mc is SHIT]

That's like saying ***** has to avoid being black.

Kovalev will dispatch Clev easily -- after Clev will feel Kovalev's power he will go down and stay there. This takes 3 to 5 rounds at most.

It's a really interesting fight imo, both guys have question marks over the legitamcy of who they've beaten. Campillo was a great win for Kovalev and Clev has Murat and Bellew which were solid wins.

I'm surprised nobody is questioning Kovalevs ability in the later rounds though. I'm not saying he'll definately gas but a lot of these dudes who constantly blast guys out early struggle when they get taken into the deeper rounds. Clev has been there and done 12 rounds a number of times. If Clev can take this into the later rounds I give him a great chance. I'd be VERY surprised if Kovalev stays anywhere near as dangerous going into the second half of the fight.

Is everyone picking Kovalev? I've only seen him in one bout, and I haven't watched Cleverly since he fought Bellew.

I'm interested in this one, got to catch up on some fights.
