    For a 3rd fight, he must of realised he was up too much after 6 and just stopped fighting, only explanation I can offer especially with almost the 1st words out of his gob being match 3

    On a side note how poor are these two, never been happy to not order a ppv

    ridicoulous night, the bit of talk that clev did was about his fitness and stamina and the man was gassed after 6 when it looked like he was already just coasting , belew talked about his power and couldnt even hit or hurt a guy sitting right in front of him doing nothing for 5 rounds,hilariously terrible post fight comments too, Clev looked like he could win easy if gave any bit of workrate

    He might have injured his right hand before the fight imo.

    Told everyone that Bellew would be to strong and to fit for Clev at his natural weight. People that said Clev was to fit for him at CW are of their head

    I don't think it was a right hand injury,the fact is Kovalev damaged his spirit terminally:yikes

    He completely gassed by the half way point. So much for the 'Athlete'. Don't think he's had enough time to get fit with the extra weight. That's if its even in him at all.

    He is against what was a blown up LHW in Clev, one who said he could fight and beat Froch at 12st only 2 years ago lol. Not on Bellews league at CW

    Yes, I think so. That's what happens when you fight overmatched opponents your entire career, win an undeserved world title and defend against low quality opposition. Then when a monster like Kovalev came along, Cleverly wasn't ready and got a beating and his confidence got completely destroyed. Hard to see him being anything but a gatekeeper now.
