Comments Thread For: Sergey Kovalev: I Knew Cleverly Couldn't Take My Power

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Nathan Cleverly's unbeaten record went up in smoke as impressive Russian Sergey Kovalev took his WBO light-heavyweight title off him with a destructive fourth-round stoppage in Cardiff. The 26-year-old Welshman had been seeking headline unification fights in America and was under pressure to impress an American audience at the Motorpoint Arena being televised across the Atlantic.

However, Kovalev, a narrow favourite with some bookmakers, tore up the script in the Welsh capital by flooring Cleverly twice in the third round and forcing a stoppage in the next session to disappoint the thousands of Cleverly fans and take the title. Cleverly's record now reads 26-1 (12 KO wins) while fearsome Kovalev moves to 22-0-1 (20KOs).

He'll fight Fonfara next, say it's his mandatory

Yup, I called it. The reign started today. The LHW division is in for a big hurt. For those saying Kovalev doesn't have a good record, don't expect it to get any better cause I don't know who'll fight him. I hope Clev asks for a rematch so he could at least get a payday instead but I doubt it.

The Cleverly that fought tonight wasn't the one I've seen in the past..you can't win a fight with just a jab.
