Evening gents!

Half an hour until coverage start on boxnation. Don't know the run of play in terms of fight timings but thought id create a thread for to nights action involving out two Brits Cleverley and of course Barker stateside.

Just to add to the build up here's yesterday's weight in for the Cleverly fight.

Kovalev has a serious poker face in the face off. I think he unsettled Cleverly with it. See 3.25 of the video below.

I thought Cleverly came out looking very confident but after the face off it drained away a bit.

Kovalev is showing no fear. I picked Kovalev to win anyway but the weigh-in firmed that up in my mind.

Good point strongback. I thought the same. It appeared Kovalev was looking confident and destructive and Cleverley looked ultra pumped but then that makes me think he will jump in with his chin in the air.....heart might rule his head here....

Ovill is stopped in the 11th. Massive uppercut from Enzo was he was literally out on his feet.

Enzo rolled back the years, KO in the 11th.

Was a good domestic fight. Not the highest quality but not short of it and lots of guts from both lads.

Enzo was seriously rocked in the... 6th I think.

Oville was KO'd on his feet. Very odd and almost dangerous. Lucky the ref jumped in.

Enzo is one of the real nice guys of boxing, I met him when he was fight Ofalabi on the undercard of the Khan vs Barerra fight and he took time for photos and autographs before he even went in to the arena.

I would argue that was a better performance tonight by Enzo, than the performance Tony Bellew had when he beat Mckenzie. Enzo took some clean shots and only really got buzzed once, he took everything and came back to score a great stoppage win.

If he wants to fight on then he needs to go for the Lonsdale belt, win that outright and then retire. Don't want to see him step up as he really doesn't have it left in the tank.

Looking forward to the next fight. Buckland has a bit of power at SFW and Smith got knocked out cold by Lee Selby, hoping Smith can do a number on Buckland tonight though.

I have to say, its one of the best performances by Enzo I have seen. He went into his shell for a few rounds but the way he came on strong was in the last rounds was good.

I didn't have a preference for a winner but I am glad Enzo won. He does come across as a genuinely decent lad and he has had a lot of adversity to come through recently.

Like you Hampo, a Londsdale belt and retire would be a very good way for him to bow out. Even with his hands up etc. he is still susceptible to a big shot and a step up in quality will expose him to a lot more of those than Ovill gave him tonight.

Two good fights so far.

Glad Buckland is OK. It was a peach of a punch.

Did Mrs Smith feed her sons to be different weights so she can tell them apart? They look so alike they could be twins and not bros.

Multiple organisations, fractured coverage, incompetent officials, fueding promoters denying us the best fights...and yet having to wait for national anthems to finish before I can watch them fight is the thing that annoys me most about boxing.

He hits hard, and if Clev hangs his chin out, I fear the front row will be picking his teeth up.

Clev has good case for questioning this. He was on his knee and hit twice.

But, it looks like its over for him.

What the hell was Cleverly playing at there. I said he'd touch down early, but then to call him on instead of playing it smart is bloody stupid.

Cleverly doesn't know where he is. Put Kovalev in with Stephenson though and that would be fireworks.

I know the commentators keep saying Clev has a granite chin, but that's the first real puncher he's been in with and he's been taken out in four rounds, and taken out in style. Maybe his chin isn't as good as people think.

Still thought it a bit naughty Kovolev hitting him twice while he was on his knee but Cleverly has only himself to blame. Tagged, facing a big puncher and he beckons him on and tries to play the man.
