    Again, Cleverly is counting on his personal referee and judges to give him a decision. All Cleverly has to do it run like Hell and be standing at the end of 12 rounds. Cleverly will be protected. Kovalev will have to fight the referee and judges as well as Cleverly. Boxing is crooked..................I still believe Kovalev will knock Cleverly out though, in spite of all the cheating...........

    I would agree with you but I think Kovalev will beat him so badly they won't be able to cheat for him. Kovalev only throws hard shots. He has good defense and can take a punch. Nathan is taking the biggest fight he may ever have.:good

    Cleverly will take Kovalev into deep deep water and expose him as a complete hypejob.

    Its far from crazy. To look at him he doesn't seem like a hypejob but neither did Bute...Untill Kovalev actually proves his worth against an elite level fighter he ramains untested.

    There is a big difference between, untested and hypejob.
    I will agree that he has not faced elite fighters yet. However, he shows good skill,power,and defense. He is clam and controls the pace very well. Even if he were to face the very best LHW, those traits are not going to disappear.
    When he dominates Cleverly next week maybe you will change your mind?

    He's untested and there is a massive amount of hype surrounding him. Thats a hype job to me although he does look like the real deal, I think Cleverly is a level above. Thats what we're going to find out next week. Whoever wins deserves the hype.

    I agree, Cleverly is a step up for him. I just think that fans today think a fighter is either great or hype. There is still room for decent B level fighters who can give a good challenge to the top level guys. Anyone who says he is the best now is obviously clueless. Just like GGG, he is good and I think he will be great, but to say he is the best Middleweight now is jumping the gun.
    I just have a few fighters like Kovalev who I think will become great over time. I don't know about you but I like to see new faces move up in the reanks and give the" ELITE " guys competition to keep them honest.

    Jesus man. You people make out the likes of Stevens, Matthysse and Kovalev are unbeatable! They bang hard so they have automatically been made masters of the universe. Does it ever come into your peabrain that these fighters have already been beaten before?!

    Its not rocket science. Kovalev is chinny and beat an unprepared Campillo. Hes been down before and been beaten.
