    Saw a sechback vid where Cleverly was hitting mitts with no wraps. Said he did it because he liked to harden his hands.

      Clev says: "... bring on Kovalev.”
      That's a significant variation.

          One punch can change a fight, so you may be right but I think Cleverly has enough pop of his own and is a good enough boxer to win an UD here.

              Kovalev looks like a stick in that last pic, but great in all the others

                Clev is looking confident and ripped, Kov looks like a middle aged bum, I know he isn't but damn, he definitely hasn't got that photo magic lol

                  Cleverly looks in great shape, Kovalev in good shape in some of the photos but that last pic like some have pointed out is worrying. Nevertheless, a good night of boxing ahead, looking forward to it!

                    Clev looks more ripped than usual.

                    Kov does look deflated in that last pic.

                    Looks can be deceiving though certainly in boxing.
