Nathan Cleverly vs. Sergei Kovalev ( 17 August, Motorpoint Arena, Cardiff, on HBO )

Because I've just looked at your laughable profile and you have received just 157 profile views in your 2 years on esb :rofl

That equates to just 7 profile views per month, less than 2 profile views per week

You're clearly just one of esb's ham n eggers living a dreary existence of mundane obscurity, yet you have the delusional audacity to call a highly respected Team Elite General 'son' when you are clearly not fit to suck the **** out of his fartpiece with a straw :barf

 

I get get behind Clev because he's fearless and was always up for fighting the best. Taking on Krusher who is unknown to casual fans takes a lot of guts.

Sergi had to take a few monents break against White , if he's harbouring stamina issues, he's a gonner against Clev.

 

I'm high as fukk on this, not least 'cos I've persuaded the Missus that what we really need this year is a holiday in South Wales (y'know, the recession an' all that).

I ain't gonna be wearing my Kovalev T-shirt, naturally, and for what it's worth I've always thought Clev was OK, like a poor man's Calzaghe.

Thing is that he ain't Joe, and Kovalev is not another Lacy, no matter what Big-Wank will try and sell us all. I'm honestly struggling to see an upside for Cleverly in this, getting the HBO slot's only good if you look good, and I can't see Clev showing well against Kovalev.

Maybe watching Kovalev smash fukk outta every guy he's faced has given me unreasonable expectations, but he's actually got equivalent speed and skill to Cleverly, but with the added ability to string together more solid strikes in one combo than most fighters would expect to land in a round.

If Cleverly can prove himself in Cardiff, I will truly think of him as a world beater.

 

Hope you ain't booked your tickets to Cardiff just yet, the fights in Cancun. Might be easier to persuade the missus to go there than South Wales :yep

 

Its not in Cancun, its in Cardiff & I've already got tickets

War

 

Confused, boxrec has it as Cardiff. Where has this Cancun stuff come from?
It's in Cardiff isn't it?:?

 

I thought Cancun seemed like a strange location

 

i'm interested to see the hype on these 2, especially kovalev.

winner should then fight stevenson.

 

For the most part, this. I think Cleverly gets a lot of undeserved slagging on here and is under-rated by many: I think he will do well but I will have to study Kovalev more to make a proper prediction

 

Been impressed with Kovalev in the 2 fights I've seen, seems to have great footwork and is heavy handed but Cleverly is massively underated and I think he will take Kovalev out of his comfort zone with his workrate. Clevs got to be carefull bout leaving himself open though or he could end up getting wrecked if he doesn't show enough respect for Kovalevs power.

 

If Cleverly wins this and Stevenson beats Bellew.

Triple Threat match involving Hopkins,Cleverly and Stevenson.

Winner wins all the belts.

 

You little rascal, you! Trying to give me a heart attack?

 

The fight will sorta be like Calzaghe vs Lacy. A great boxer vs a great puncher. Nathan Cleverly is a great boxer, Kovalev is a great puncher. A great boxer will always beat a great puncher. The fight will probably be a boxing lesson actually, write this down where you heard it first. Ok I do admit that I picked Jeff Lacy vs Calzaghe. I aint gonna make the same mistake again.

 

I am pickin Macklin by upset over the unproven Golovkin. Macklin was robbed vs Sturm, and he fought an even fight on the scorecards vs a PFP top 5 fighter in all of boxing Sergio Martinez!! So we are expecting for Macklin to pull of an upset come tomorrow night.
