    We really need to see Kovalev in against the likes of Hopkins, Stevenson, Dawson, Cloud, etc. before we'll really be able measure Clevs loss.
    Well, equally we need to see Clev in against the same guys to measure the value of his win. If Clev went on to beat a couple of these guys, then Kovalev's win would surely increase in terms of credibility.

      Warren and Cleverly both deserve credit for taking this fight. It was the riskiest one out there and he wasn't even a mandatory + no rematch clause. It's almost borderline ******ed matchmatching Cleverly's balls more than his actual ability made me a fan.

        A rematch will never happen between these two. Cleverly would get knocked out every single time and he knows it. It's just a bad match up for him.

          O'Connor does not want to see the rematch either. He found Cleverly too heavy at the end of the 3rd round.

              well he knew the unofficial job description of being a welsh ref before he began the job, so he cant complain.

              1. carry collapsed home fighters back to their corners so they don't get koed.

              2. if they are getting ko-ed jump in and pretend you are waving the fight off...but then not really stopping it.

              3. if a Welshman slaps an away fighter more than twice in a round, stop the fight on TKO.
