Cleverly retains his WBO light-heavyweight title with dominating performance against Krasniqi at Wembley ArenaBy Martin Domin Nathan Cleverly was ruthlessly efficient as he dismantled German challenger Robin Krasniqi to retain his WBO world light-heavyweight title over 12 rounds at Wembley Arena. ![]() Winner: Nathan Cleverly retained his WBO light-heavyweight with a dominating performance against Robin Krasniqi ![]() Good performance: Cleverly never looked in trouble The 26-year-old entered the ring decked in blue, perhaps in a nod to the traditional colours of Cardiff City, who clinched the Championship title earlier in the day. Right hand: Cleverly throws a right hand early in the bout ![]() Big shots: Cleverly goes on the attack with a left jab He made sure there was no slow start in the fourth stanza as he pinned Krasniqi in the corner and landed flush with a left-right combination. The German escaped into the open ring only for the champion to have a storming end to the session, rocking Krasniqi with a right uppercut and two left hooks. Body shot: Cleverly takes a punch in the abdomen ![]() Punching power: Despite his dominance Cleverly never looked like scoring a knockout blow ![]() Rocked: Cleverly was clearly in front by the mid-way point By the time the fight reached the tenth round, the result was a formality and the cheers from the small pocket of visiting fans were growing ever more faint. ![]() 'I felt good in there and I'm pleased with the performance, it was a nice boxing display. He was tough. |
