Home town cooking

[qari]

Cleverly vs Kovalev the end of the 3rd round Cleverly was badly hurt and the bell went atleast 5seconds early to save him, please could someone post the video you will be shocked. Roy jones realises and says home town cooking but most of us didnt realise what hes on about.

This is my 3rd time watching the fight and realised this time.

I think most people, myself included, noticed it at the time

First bell goes at 8.52. Second bell goes at 11.52.

3 minutes.

HBO's clock was wrong.

Not only should the fight have been stopped in the 3rd round, but the notorious referee Terry O'Connor (from what I remember) actually carried Cleverly over to his corner at the end of the round. If a man has to be carried by a ref to his corner, the fight should be OVER.


Absolutely disgusting. As much pride as there is in boxing, the health risks are real and Cleverly should of been DONE after round 3.

Funny thing is I was expecting something like this to happen after hearing who the referee is. And I also lost a couple hundred bucks because I bet that Kovalev would win in the 3rd round..... Son of a *****. So close
