      Clev still got Braehmer problems to deal with. If he wants a rematch after that? Well, that's down to him I guess. If he gets past Juergen that's his prerogative.

        I picked Cleverly to beat Kovalev. And I still believe that, if he'd used different tactics, it would have been a much better fight. But, like most people back then, Nathan didn't realise just how hard Kovalev can punch.

        After I saw what he did to Cleverly, I swore I would never pick against Krusher again, and I'm sticking to that.

        Kovalev will beat Ward, and I don't expect him to need 12 rounds to do it.

          Nathan uses tactic ala Fonfara,you saw that fight?they took all on face.no way he can use some super diffrent style now.he can give Kova better fight doe.

          i keep my fingers crossed for kova too,if he KOs Ward i m happy

            Nathan got balls just like Pascal can't fault him for wanting to get it on with him again but I'd much rather see Nathan Vs. Braehmer once more to see how the fight goes without any injuries that's not too much to ask.

              If Nathan had what Joe Calzaghe had in him with that genuine slickness and great boxing IQ that is when I would believe Kovalev could lose to Cleverly but the chin will always be in doubt you seen what Fonfara did to him albeit it was a brave display by him.

              I'll make the call that If the Braehmer rematch happens I think Jurgen beats him assuming he doesn't re-injure himself I liked what Braehmer was doing he was winding up catching Nathan with lovely shots.

                OK, OK...

                Cleverly is from Cardiff, right?... and he's with Hearn...
                I'm sure that Hearn would be able to promote a huge Kovalev-Cleverly II fight in May-June, with the Millennium Stadium ( Principality Stadium) as venue...

                (... but do you think that Cleverly would still want to take such a fight after Kovalev would dispatch Ward?)

                    Cleverly is a good second tier fighter. He has no chance against the elites of this world, but he could be a tune-up fight for Kovalev or Ward down the line.
