You know I actually predicted Kovalev by KO...but rewatching the fight I think Cleverly had a solid gameplan. It did look like Kovalev was losing steam on his punches.
Cleverly's strategy to just stand right in front of him and continue to move forward seem to make Kovalev throw more punches than he is used to. If Cleverly could have gotten the fight towards the 2nd half of the fight it would have really been an interesting fight.
Cleverly should have threw more punches though. Hope the kid comes back stronger as I still think he can make a mark in the boxing world.
