Comments Thread For: Cleverly: Sergey Kovalev's Punches were Like a Hammer

[mathed]

Clev fought like a nail so I'm not surprised he felt like he was getting hit with a hammer.....wtf was he thinking?!?....that had to be the dumbest game plan they could've came up with....Clev did everything he wasn't supposed to do...smh

lmao, nice

Kessler, Lacy, Bika.............sorry but Lacy was compared to Tyson heading into that fight.

Interestingly, the only common letter in the names of Tyson and lacy is Y.

As in WHY the fcuk would you compare them, unless you were trying to sell a **** fighter like lacy. yep and some people were dumb enough to fall for it, still are it seems.

Bika is ok for a tv show fighter.But yeah Kess was pretty good, hes Calzaghe's one good defence showing against top opps. But Calzaghe beat him, more to the point, though it took him 10 years to do it.

Great timing, range, footwork and patience helped KOvalev also.

Cleverly wasn't any champion

Nate Ain't Great Cleverly was no more a boxing Champ than Wales is a country

Froch has a granite jaw, but the size difference in KOV might beat him, the guy is really a HW in body shape but not weight.

We all know Carl has a granite jaw, but this doesn't help here.
As size:
Froch: height 6′ 1″/185cm; reach 75″/191cm
Kovalev: height 6′ 0″/183cm; reach 72˝″/184cm...

(Kov seems bigger because his opponents pack themselves in defense.)

Glad to see that one may notice more than sheer power and "amateurish style".

I don't believe any of these fighters posed even close to the danger kovalev presents except for a prime kessler who I consider joe's best win

[JamesEarl]

Cleverly has to retire

Weak as Cleverly is retirement is a viable wise option. When a young fighter gets beat as bad as Nate got humiliated it's over.

When somebody beats the hell out of you... you really have no choice

Yes you do, ask Nonito Donaire. Lol, jk. I like that kid.

[SN!PER]

Kovalev could knockout heavyweights.
