    IMHO Campillo has not lost against Murat. But the judges had a different opinion than mine twice.

    This is the biggest opportunity for Kovalev. If Kovalev wins I would expect to see his fights again on Boxnation. He's an exciting fighter, fans want excitement and knockouts. Kovalev brings this and then some more.
    If Kovalev knocks out Cleverly in style in his own backyard, it will send out such a strong message that Kovalev is at the top of the division.

    The options for big WBO defences in the UK, Germany etc will be there as well as big fights in the USA.

    Who would the casual fans like to watch? A lighter punching boxer or a wrecking machine who brings hitting power and multiple knockdowns guaranteed to every fight?

    @UndisputedUK, true indeed. Kovalev would break into superstar status if he beats cleverly in a dominant ko victory.

    I think Cleverly hits hard enough to gain respect, you dont see anyone walking through him and Nathan is an action packed fighter with a great workrate.
    I just cant see Nathan getting beat

    @bailey, i can't see kovalev losing, because nathan isn't a pure boxer like a b-hop, and his defense isn't that good. This will be a fight where cleverly tastes power he's not used to and his workrate will decrease, because he will find out quick that he's with a skilled who can hurt him.

    Not many more days before we find out.
    I just dont think Nathan will stand there letting himself get hit.
    I think it will be Kovalev who is surprised by a few things -
    Nathans constant attacks
    Nathans fast hands
    Nathans fighting back if hit
    Nathans solid chin

    I think Kovalev will struggle to land clean and that Nathans workrate will be far too much and that Kovalev may end up tired with Nathan piling on the shots for an easier than most expect win

    I guess Kovalev's boxing lesson has been put on hold.

    @Exposed, this thread has my lmao @bailey, because he was talking as though cleverly was this worldclass boxer with extraordinary defense.
