I disagree with cleverly saying that this is going to be his hardest fight. Nathan knows how he will approach this fight . Using the engine . And see how Kovalev fairs in the later round. I see a unanimous decision Cleverly . Ward and Cleverly I like to see.
:huh Why would I do that. Jones didnt do enought at SMW to be given that praise See below Take what bait. Lets lay down our fight prediction threads where we have said the underdog or even money fighter will win and see who has the better track record Good post
I bet on the v-bookie for this fight too and I did not see anyone had bet on cleverly, so you must be the only one. correction 2000 bet on cleverly, 11000 bet on kovalev. Good luck to you, you may need a little.
It appear that Cleverly is counting on his referee and judges to help him win the fight. However, I don't know if Cleverly's refere can stop Kovalev from knocking Cleverly out. Too many are confusing Cleverly with Calzaghe, there is not comparison between the two. Calzaghe was one of my favorite fighters, he could adjust, was very talented. Cleverly is a pure volume puncher. I don't know who will win, but I give the edge to Kovalev, even with Cleverly's judges and referee.............
Look at he first few rounds of Cleverly vs Bellew and you know how the fight will turn out. http://youtu.be/TXoQ5dwcxV0 Cleverly isn't that fast or good defensively. His style is all wrong for a guy like Kovalev. He gets hit too much...and he can get away with the weaker punchers. He won't last more than 6 rounds if he fights the way he always does.
Cleverly isn't stupid, he knows (unlike some here, who actually think he's the second coming of Calzaghe and Kov the second coming of Lacy ) that this is going to be very, very tough for him. He basically said that he expects to have to hold on for dear life a couple of times in the fight. So he's probably not going to fight like he did against Belly, because that would be suicide. I don't think he'll be able to pull trough, but he believes or probably just hopes he will.
Cleverly v Bellew was was a grudge match they had to be pulled apart at press conferences several times in the build up to that fight, Both wanted to knock the other out Cleverly took his best shots and smiled at him Watch Cleverly's last fight he boxed Robin Krasniqi's head of in that fight i posted the link earlier in this thread
Well lets see your underdog and even money fight predictions rather than you back out :-(. My Vcash is donated to charities
I see this as a real 50/50 fight. There are a lot of questions about both fighters in my opinion and this fight will answer a lot of them I think. I expect this to be really entertaining as well.
I'm noticing the bets on a Clev KO/TKO have suddenly gone up since the news about O'Conner being the ref. Hmm.....shouldda put my VCash on the under.
KOvalev is going to break Cleverless in the mid rounds and stop him between 7 and 10 rds. That's my prediction.
Cleverless. Ha boy I hope that sticks if he loses I see Cleverly doing alot of running in the first half of the fight, trying to tire out Kovalev. He will then try to mix it up a bit as he has to bag some rounds and try to be effective. This is when he will get caught. I can't help but be subjective though, Cleverly gets on my nerves. He thinks he is so great. He's defended his title about 6 times and against who exactly? I will really enjoy frank ******s reaction too once he gets ko'ed, the slimy fish scum that he is.
