This still cracks me up. Kovalev had annihilated Cleverly in the third round. The referee was doing it the British way by carrying Clev to his corner. Then Clev sits down and hasn't got a clue where he is or whats going on. "DONT GET CARELESS SON, COME ON!!"
Nathan never had a chance with this mug in his corner. Vince is completely and utterly delusional with zero knowledge about boxing. Is it any wonder Nathan progressed so slowly? Kovalev waxing his arsé was the wake-up call he needed to fúck off his gobshíte dad and bring in a professional.
Vince Cleverly was the worst ''corner man'' i've ever had the misfortune to see at work, in any ring in the world. Ever. His most memorable act was punching himself in the face as he offered out Bellew's corner at a press conference for their first fight.
Best thing Clev could have done was replacing his old man. Also remember his corner work for the Murat fight, he was giving Clev the complete opposite instructions to what Dean Powell (who was the one talking sense) was saying to him.
