CHICAGO, UIC Pavilion - In the televised main event for Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) on Spike, a high stakes light heavyweight showdown saw Andrzej Fonfara (28-3, 16 KOs) win a 12-round unanimous decision over former world champion Nathan Cleverly (29-3, 15 KOs) in a wild war.  

Scores were 115-113, 116-112, 116-112 in favor of Fonfara.

The amount of punches thrown, and landed, set a CompuBox record at 175-pounds. Fonfara threw 1414 punches and Cleverly threw out 1,111 of his own.

The fight very active from the early go. Cleverly was not taking a step back and had choosing to bang away with the hard punching Fonfara. With neither fighter using much head movement and choosing to trade on the inside, both were landing a lot of hard shots and the rounds were becoming hard to score.

Cleverly was letting his hands fly in the fifth, winding up the combinations and sticking his tongue out at Fonfara, who replied back with hard shots in return.

They were trading bodyshots in the final minute of the sixth - until Fonfara let his hands fly with hard combinations. During the seventh, Fonfara may have broken the nose of Cleverly as he was battering him with very hard shots. Fonfara pretty much dominated the action with big combinations as Cleverly hung tough with some return fire.

In the eight, Cleverly suffered a bad cut, and tear, on his left ear. Fonfara continued to apply the pressure with big punches. Cleverly would not go away and would let his hands go when Fonfara took breaks to catch a breather.

In the championship rounds, Cleverly was doing his best to rally late with quick counter-combinations. Fonfara was landing the harder, more damaging punches.

The 12th and final round was no different from the previous eleven. They were trading punches from start to finish with the crowd sitting on the edge of their seats.
