    At one time Abel Sanchez was training Golovkin and Kovalev. I wonder if they ever sparred together.

    That would be a good question for that worm Ellie Sekhbach to ask during one of his interviews with Sanchez. In truth; it is probably some weird insider info that will never get made public.

    Saw something recently- basically Kovalev says Gennady hits hard as Fukk, sorta hasta be from Summit 'cos the two were in different weight classes in the ams. Kovalevs got a lot more aggressive since Simakov and the switch to JDJ. Wonder why he made the switch tho?

    That's some sparring I'd like to see.

    2 to 1 in favour of Kov. The poll. I'd put it slightly wider perhaps, but it suggests the general feel. Let's just see it made.

    This is more like it. Pleasantly surprised that Frank made this one.

    Cleverly is tough and has a good chin but that might be his undoing here. I can't imagine he's going to come out on top fighting his usual game - coming forward, applying pressure and throwing combinations. If he does, I can see the heavier-hitting Kovalev doing some real damage.

    Nathan can box a little though, so maybe he'll try to fight more behind the jab. I think he has to be considered the underdog either way.

    Listen to you dumb imbeciles building Kovalev up, Cleverly will absolutely dismantle him via 12 round shut out and go on to unify the decision when the other *****s in the division dare to step up to the plate.

    Kovalev will gas himself out midway and will be faced with an unstoppable Cleverly throwing 80 punches a round.

    Cleverly will take Kovalev completely out of his comfort zone, this will be far more one sided than these sludgepipe suckers realise :deal

    Cleverly to expose Kov!! This has Calzaghe vs Lacey written all over it!! #RIP KOVALEV

    Nathan will destroy this guy with his nonstop combos and energy, along with his cask iron chin.

    I think the fight will resemble today's Chavkiev v Wloadczyk

    The Russian looks dominate early but blows his load an gets stopped by the underrated European

    :deal
