    Tete performance was great. But since kovalev dismantled cleverly in Wales, he's been my favourite fighter. Kessler was very impressive against zaggers though.

    Kessler was also more impressive than I thought he would be at that stage in his war with the Sheriff of Nottingham.

    Jose Gonzalez impressed me when he put on a clinic on Ricky Burns until he ended up gassing out.

    Loved the kovalev beat down he gave Cleverly, that was my favourite because none of the dumb casuals who turned up to watch Nathen had a clue who he was and was expecting a routine win.

    They didn't expect to see the ref literally dragging him back to his corner after being brutally beat down in 3 rounds.

    Still shocked at the stupidity why they'd even take that fight. Even if he had got a routine win he would've received no more credit for it.

    Kovalev wasn't even the mandatory for Cleverly, he was for Hopkins.

    Well credit to Cleverly because he took the fight because he wanted to prove he wasn't a paper champ.

    Cleverly knew how good Kovelev was but still took the fight to prove his doubters wrong.

    Sadly he paid the ultimate price of getting ruined by the Serge

    Yeah. Seemed to give him brain damage, thinking a move to Cruiserweight was a good idea. :lol:

    Although I thought Kovalev was a beast destroying Clev like that, my vote went to Crawford. He's one of the must rounded guys out there. Not really a ***** in his armor.

    Now he's moving up to a stronger division that features generally bigger punches, let's see his mandibular strength. :deal
