    A bug getting crushed with sledgehammer is great?
    Man this might look like it, seriously.

    Sorry mate. The bolded bit just gave me some fukked up imaginings. I will truly die laffin if Kovalev pulls out his ****, cums all over Cleverly, then rolls over, yawns and farts just while Clevs getting up to speed.

    I was being polite to a Cleverly supporter who I might meet. It will be an enjoyable event, though I see it going a bit like that too. It might not. It's boxing. You never know. You actually saying you wouldn't like to be there?

    People talk about Cleverly's workrate but Kovalev comes out throwing 90+ punches in the first round. And Kovalev threw about 90 punches in the 6th round against Simakov. Good luck trying to beat Kovalev on volume alone.

    Got to favour Clev. He's never even been buzzed or stunned and has a crazy workratte. Krusher wont know where he is. Only bad thing is the fact casual fans dont know who Kovalev is and if Clev wins he wont get the credit he deserves.

    And Kovalev's have some serious hair on them. Cleverly can't afford to get into a fire fight with him. To Cleverly's credit(and demise), I don't think he will be looking to run.

    It's true. Kov ain't got the recognition yet. Thing is outsida the UK neithers Clev. HBO wants to build a contender - an' they're betting on Kovalev. Clev ain't Joe and Kov ain't Lacy. It's gotta be a fight worth watchin' cos they each bring something the other ain't faced before. Bring it, I say.:bbb

    i was talking about the home town decision. i think it's a negative view point with no evidence to back it up. Cleverly has always won fair and square. no robberies where he's concerned.

    if it does go to the cards and Kovalev looks like the winner, he'll get the decision. :good

    i would say it's a step up, but only slightly. Kovalev hasn't proven any more than Bellew and Murat.

    i still think Cleverly is going to win. by stoppage as well.

    you should watch Clev, he's a very good fighter who's exciting and gives you your money's worth.

    Kovalev will be pushed onto the back foot where he'll be ineffective. add to that that it will mostly take place on the inside and it doesn't look good for the krusher.

    You'll just pick any fighter from home soil. You were certin Brook was going to beat Alexander. Brook would of been humiliated by Devon. Hence why he eat so many pies out of anxiety and pulled out.

    Point I've made before. Don't like being a compubox warrior, but Kov and Clev tend to land similar numbers. Problem is for Clev the punches Kovalev lands are the ones which echo round the arena, and they come in bunches.

    Ain't gonna play amateur psychologist, but since Simakov or (since he also afterwards changed trainer to) Jackson, Kovalevs fought like a guy possessed. I would not want to be the one to get in his way.

    i have a feeling that Kovalevs stamina isn't all that good. being in there with Clev is going to test it to the hilt.
