Props to Kovalev!

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

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

I don't think he's feather fisted. He just doesn't have Kovalev type power.

Well, if you go on youtube and rewatch Clev's fights vs Krasniqi, Bellew, Murat to name a few, you will see why. The guy has a great chin.

I hate when sensationalists jump to conclusions off one fight. Froch was also knocked down once.

When you get caught hands down vs a serious puncher like Kovalev, it takes an inhumane skull to make you stand upright.

You can trawl through my old posts - I've ALWAYS questioned the guy.

He's never looked anything more than an average domestic fighter.

Terry O'Connor had a shocker, too! Saving Cleverly in the 3rd cost me €25

You might not think he's that good. Fair enough.

But up until today i've seen absolutely nothing in any of his fights that tells me he doesn't have a stand up chin.

Too bad about your bet mate. He should have stopped it in the 3rd, no question.

Ah, fair. IMO, he'll always be in the level below world.

He should leave Warren, chase the European title and rebuild.

kovalev ruined him.....

LMAO, I was waiting for that...knew it was coming sooner or later.

cleverly struggled with Mohammedi.............I've seen him hurt multiple times by lower grade fighters. i thought he barely beat Mohammedi.

I admittedly thought Clev could do it. When I saw Kovalev in that ring, he looked so strong.

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!

Regardless what Clev could have done, he would be KOed in 5-7 rounds.

The difference in class is obvious.

Who hurt him i'd like to know?

But let's agree to disagree.
