    Let's see those biased scorecards...

    Even the commentators thought Kovalev took it.

    I have Kov one up, Nathan seems comfortable but needed to figure out Kov and work out ways to counter him. I think he's going to come on strong later in the fight if he survives the first four.

    I have a feeling Kovalev is gonna provoke a cut on Cleverly in Round 3 or 4. If the fight goes that far.

    Already looks evident Cleverly is looking to turn the heat up in the middle rounds. His game-plan is blatantly to tire out the Russian here.

    Let's see if this works.

    Cleverly looks very thin to me, 10-9 Kovalev but a tight round

    Kovalev looks massive, Nathan looks like a skinny middleweight
