    You?
    Fair point.

      Props to him for taking on a dangerous opponent for once but that's about it.

      He's defended his title against bums for quite some time and thankfully one of the weakest world champions has been removed.

        I dunno man, U keep saying all this stuff about calzaghe yet u have amir khan in your sig and avatar? . . Maybe you should just give Joe his props and focus on tonights fight.

        Cleverly showed heart, he didn't have the right game plan though, shoulda boxed and move, but I think he was just outclassed by a better fighter, than Russian's got serious power.

          Exactly. End of discussion.

            Cleverly got his ass whooped. I didn't know how good either guy was, but Cleverly can't take a good shot. You have to be able to take a good shot in boxing. That is a must.

              Very much felt like a fight that Clev had pushed for and not a Warren pick.

                You can't dis Calzaghe and promote Cleverly's heart. He's supposed to take those fights. Kovalev whopped his ass. Calzaghe took that heavy punch that Cleverly couldn't take. Cal too a bunch of them, and stayed on his feet unlike Cleverly and Khan.

                  Why you're not posting from your original account Dirk?

                    he went out on his shield. Hopefully he can come back stronger and smarter

                      Nathan Cleverly has a good chin. No doubt about it. But he invited the shots in too easily. It was almost as if he wanted to taste this guys power.

                      Please don't say he hasn't got a good chin, because I have seen this guy take clean whacks and just smile, wink and go to work.
