Comments Thread For: Hopkins-Murat Back in Play; Cleverly-Kovalev Close

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

BoxingScene.com has confirmed with Chris Meyer, General Manager of Sauerland Event, that middleweight contender Karo Murat has obtained a non-immigrant working visa for the United States.

Murat was scheduled to face IBF light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins on July 13th in a mandatory fight at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

However, Murat was unable to obtain a visa. Murat filed an appeal to obtain a visa and it was believed that several months would be involved to get his visa. As a result, Golden Boy Promotions was forced to cancel the July event.

After the event was canceled, the IBF designated Sergey Kovalev as the new mandatory challenger to Hopkins. [Click Here To Read More]

Don't change the fact that Cleverly is getting stopped.

WAR KOVALEV!!!!

PS: I'm willing to put points on it, you down?

Hahahahaha.
The "visa issue" is over! Just like that!

Clev will be killed in the ring by Kovalev.
(No joke.)

[MDPopescu]

I see a long reigning 175 champion in Kovalev.
Every future opponent will take a dive, rather than be literally killed by the Russian.
(Kovalev already killed a poor guy in the ring, back in 2011).

Not gonna lie, I think Kovalev has people shook. I love B.Hop but he's smart to fight Murat and not go after Kovalev.

After watching the Roman Simakov fight (whom Kovalev has killed in the ring back in 2011) I'm not sure that I'd watch the Russian fighting live...
