By Scott Gilfoid: WBA ‘regular’ light heavyweight champion Nathan Cleverly is predicting a 12 round decision win for IBF/WBA/WBO 175lb champion Sergey “Krusher” Kovalev (30-0-1, 26 KOs) in his fight against unbeaten talent Andre “SOG” Ward (30-0, 15 KOs) this Saturday night on HBO pay-per-view at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Cleverly sees Kovalev as the bigger fighter than Ward, even though both guys are the same height at 6-foot and look the same size inside the ring. Cleverly says Kovalev will be the busier fighter, and force Ward into a shell on Saturday night.
