Because he never fought anyone of merit. All hype. He came out with a ****** fight plan and got bombed the **** out. When you mention that you think a 48 year old man would be capable of outboxing kovalev then that lets you know how much perceived skill you think Cleverly has.
It's annoying though that you get a collection of US posters ready to jump in any time a British fighter loses even to a foreign fighter (from Russia of all places).
Also I don't remember if he did, but he said it was a 50/50 fight and said he'd put down on cleverly
I read on a thread that he wasn't making any bold predictions because that's how you end up looking ******.
I never thought it was a 50/50, I put money on Kovalev and I haven't bet on boxing in a long time.
