    Campillo was outclassing him but Fonfara showed grit and it paid off while Kovalev dominated every second of their fight.

    Wrong gameplan from Clev, ****** to stand in front of that guy in the 3rd. Should have run for dear life.

    Kovalev is the real deal. a tat slow but damn!
    Everyone talked about Cleverly speed but Kovalev's hands were faster as were his feet.

          No they weren't. Clev dodged a lot of Kovalev's punches, even whilst hurt. He is not quick.

          Problem with Clev was that Kovalev just didn't give a *** about his power.

            No he didnt. He was outboxed for 7 rounds then caught him and made him quit. Kovalev blasted him out in 2 rounds landing like 120 power punches in 2 rounds

              No he's not "quick" but has very good accuracy.

                  Nathan was always a CHUMP. Another Brit hype-job bites the dust.

                    Cleverly is feather-fisted, so Kovalev never had anything to worry about.

                    Where this 'granite chin' BS came from baffles me, too.

                      Yes he has good accuracy, but it isn't excellent. He's not a pin point puncher I think. But he has a club hammer for a right hand that will just tear you down.

                      I don't think he's a one-punch KO artist, but once his opponents feel the first right hand. And then another, then another..
