Tip my hat off to Cleverly...

[Russian Crushin]

Not been following Kovalev too long but ever since I saw him dispatch of Campillo I thought he was the real deal.

Tonight he further confirmed it.

He's one of the hardest punchers in the sport.

Cleverly's tough but once he was hurt, it was only so long until it was over.

And he did the hip trust before destroying him

[Weebler I]

I still think he's a very talented fighter. No-one else at LHW treats him like Kovalev did tonight.

Pretty much, trying getting some of these guys to see it though. I do hope he hasn't sustained any long-term damage, referee was negligent imo.

the ref carried cleverly across the threshold. they are now officially married.

Hahaha I laughed at that myself! Couldn't believe it actually.

He was the last guy i expected to do that!

[IronDanHamza]

Yeah man, it was over after the 3rd

Cleverly actually took a solid, clean, hard right hand in the first round and I was like "Ok, maybe he can take his punch".

But you could see even the grazing shots and the shots he was blocking were bothering him.

Yes Props to him for sure. He took the fight that people said he would never do. I'm sure he'll be back.

There were a few times where Cleverly blocked the shots and it moved his whole body. They really didn't look that powerful but they sure have a visible effect when they landed.

I'm a believer

[gingerbreadman]

He should drop Frank and then try and get Campillo over.

I hate when fighters lose people go ape***** calling em C level overrrated. So basically it's saying Cleverly sucks and takes all credit away from Kovalev.

Fans are part of the reason these fighters care so much about their 0 loss records. Before these guys would be fighting each other without any worries about their record.
