Comments Thread For: Cleverly: Beating Kovalev Will Get Me The Big Names

If he's lucky, maybe he'll get the same ref


Kovalev has to worry about not getting punched now

Dude... he's fighting in Wales.
Famous for the Manfredo "stoppage".

Peter is lucky to still be alive.

You are obviously missing the point. Do you think HBO is backing Cleverly? Because they aren't. It's a showcase fight for Kovalev. Clev is viewed as a weak champion who Kovalev is going to run through. HBO is moist for Russian punchers at the moment.

Kovalev is the house fighter

As hilarious as "calzaghe is an ATG"

Hahaha, Peter is lucky to be alive... classic.

All they're going to do is suck his nuts on the t.v with every punch he throws. Cleverly's got the judges and the ref and the crowd. Kovalev has Roy Jones Jr. stuttering over how good Kovalev is.
Kovalev's only chance of winning is by KO, Cleverly only has to survive

HBO are backing Kovalev. They were showing his next fight regardless of who the opponent was.

Doesn't matter if it's in Wales. American TV sent Gerald McClellan over to beat up Nigel Benn in London.

Yea, you thinking HBO is backing a russian guy who has only fought in front of 1000 people on a local TV channel to Wales, makes him a house fighter

Someone please bump the "delusional" thread, we have a new entry

HBO sent Kessler to America to kick ward's ass, he was the house fighter, just like manfredo in wales. This all makes perfect sense

Yes there's a difference between being the home fighter and the house fighter. HBO want Kovalev to win, it's not hard to understand the difference unless you are an inbred spastic like Russian Crushin

How does you thinking HBO wanting Kovalev to win makes him a house fighter? What influence do HBO's cameras have in front of thousands of fans in Wales? UK tvs want Cleverly to win, he's the house fighter

Im not russian, yet another fail

Well they are.

HBO are severely lacking stars. GGG is their new poster boy and they want Kovalev to be the next in line. He's based in America and is a big puncher. I remember Kellerman slobbering over him on the telecast for Dawson-Stevenson I believe.

Not hard to grasp.

Yea, they want him to win.
The method in which they want him to win though doesn't require the judges. All they have to worry about is the ref.
Hopefully they pick a good one, not like the ones from Cleverly's past fights.
The only advantage HBO is giving kovalev is the influence to have a better ref in Cardiff
