Cleverly looks horrible and gets rocked by Kuziemski

By Scott Gilfoid: WBO light heavyweight champion Nathan Cleverly (22-0, 11 KO’s) defeated challenger Aleksy Kuziemski (21-3, 5 KOs) by a quick stoppage in the 4th round on Saturday night at the O2 Arena in London, England. The stoppage came after Kuziemski was cut over the left eye in the 4th. The referee pulled the trigger quickly rather than letting the fight go on.

What makes this seem all the more strange was that Cleverly had been badly hurt in the previous round after getting tagged by a huge left hand from Kuziemski. Cleverly was staggered by the shot, and it didn’t look good for him at that point. The cut stoppage in the 4th round may have come just in time for Cleverly, because who knows what would have happened if Kuziemski had more time to land shots and take Cleverly out of there.

All in all, a terrible performance by Cleverly. This win seemed to expose Cleverly’s lack of defense and a questionable chin rather than show that Cleverly is the real deal and ready to move on to bigger and better things. The thing is Kuziemski isn’t even considered a hard puncher, yet he was able to royally rock Cleverly.

This is the second fight in a row where Cleverly has taken some nasty head shots and I worry about the guy’s future. I can’t see him going much beyond guys like Kuziemski before he starts getting knocked out left and right. I’d hate to have seen what Kuziemski would have done to Cleverly had the referee not hastily stopped the fight due to the cut.

  • King Khan says:

    My only worry with clev is he leaves himself to open if pascal or Dawson or the other big boys land on that chin it could be problems. But then again clev prob wouldn’t fight so open against them. Well done clev might not have won a world title the way you dreamt you would but you won one none the less! That’s 5 champions for the UK and counting!!

  • Nickjones says:

    Cleverly is a joke.doesn’t have a boxing bone in his body.

  • Parky says:

    Rocked, a couple of light slaps is more accurate. Unfortunately the fight was stopped far too early by a pathetic American referee due to a small graze. Cleverley would have taken Pole out by round 8.

  • Axel says:

    The brits have another world champion so deal with it.
    Clev looked good considering his lack of knowledge of the pole,
    And so what he took one punch and still came back to dominate that
    Round and was bullying the pole in the 4th until the ref saved a ko

  • u aint got a clue says:

    where u watching the same fight as the rest of us? cleverly was putting combinations left right and centre. yeah he was caught a few times but powered through it. the stoppage was silly but cleverly would of ko’d or won every round on the way to a victory

  • Evil Scotsman says:

    Scott you tool. I told you I would be backing Groves against Degale because you were backing Chunky and look what happened. Your time at BN24 is up. Next up Carl “Cobra” Froch!!!

  • Clueless? says:
