Hi, I am a big fan of Kovalev and I just want to give some advice. I really think you should think twice about coming to the UK to fight Cleverly. The UK has had some of the worst judging and refereeing in the world. Please research the following fights. There is a real chance that Segey will get robbed in this fight. 1. Andre Dirrell robbed vs Carl Froch 2. Hatton getting some time bought for him vs Lascano 3. Hatton getting away with a direct low blow vs Tszyu 4. Anthony Joshua winning a gold medal 5. Page robbed vs Dallas 6. Sai robbed vs Jamie Cox 7. Benn rabbit punch McClellan all night without a warning. 8. Malik Scott counted out at the count of 9.5. British officials have done some ridiculous things in recent times and no foreign fighter should bother coming to Britain to fight.
I agree with that Joshua gold medal, that Italian got in that big oaf's ass. Also Malik stoppage British refs are the worst in the world for early stoppages.
Its a bit different they rob you on the scorecards but at least they don't stop the action prematurely the fans still get to see the full fight. Should be alright for Kovalev though seeing as Cleverly wont see the 6th round.
We do have some rubbish refs when it comes to stopping fights. They all need to be retrained. In a world title fight I'm guessing they wouldn't use a Brit anyway.
