Oh man Hopkins....Goodluck

Now he beat Hopkins And landed those same punches

Who said that any of those combinations will land on Hopkins? Skill for skill, who did this guy actually beat that displays his ability in a way that would make one think, "He can land these same punches on Hopkins too." Now he beat Hopkins

Yeah.... he really "schooled em" :rofl: Right, as a bhop fan i will admit, kovalev got in dat ass. Very good technical fight. I feel like i was one of the first ppl to mention kovalev on nsb. But i didnt expect this

:lol1: Exactly!!!^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Cup, I see you in here schooling them bro :fing02: I like how everyone is like "oh Kovlaev is aggressive..... He's just like every other Hopkins former opponent!" Kovalev is his own man. Hopkins lost to chad Dawson, lol.... He's not unbeatable , especially at 48. Enough talking, just make the fight happen and we'll see :boxing: Yeah.... he really "schooled em" :rofl:

So....um now how do you feel about ol Kovalev?

Beating Campillo= ATG I guess, Hopkins is never getting ko'd and does very well against aggressive fighters but you kids just keep looking at flashy boxrec records and drawing conclusions from there.

Wow, good combinations, hard punching, boxes well, that's one tough Russian. I dont think Hopkins can handle such a beating at his age. FerFAL Yes please,I want to see Hopkins get brutally KO'd unconscious They all said the same $h!t before he stepped in the ring with Trinidad, Tarver, Pavlik, Pascal, and Cloud and look at what he was able to do to them. They all packed more power than Hopkins and they all left the ring as damaged goods. Would it be any different with the next guy (Kovalev), or the next guy and so on. When fighting Hopkins, relying on your power to carry you is one of the biggest mistakes you could ever make. Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

excited to see Kovalev against Hopkins. guess who I spot in the crowd) http://cs405125.vk.me/v405125566/8439/4Vi8bKkyEcY.jpg

Not seen all of the video but his defence is so open, his hand speed is slow and fairly readable and most important, his footwork is slow. Hopkin's will never be just there to be hit. This guy will find it hard to land hard all night and Hopkin's should take him out of his rhythm. I will look further on this video. What do you think of my thoughts? That dude aint slow. And Hopkins aint gonna be able to get in and out of his fast combinations. Hopkins gonna get hit a few times, and the dude footspweed is not bad. He can move a little. This is not a short, square brawler like Pascal and Cloud. He a little different, so I wanna see whats gonna happen with!!! him and Hoppa poppa

Kolavev is a nobody. B-Hop will ice that chump.

darnell boone beat this guy. darnell boone is the truth. he beat stevenson, ward, and kovalev. hall of fame?

It might be an easier fight than Stevenson. This guy is too conventional, it would be an easy night for hopkins.

Not sure if this has been posted here but apparently since Bernards fight with Murat fell thru he is getting pushed in a corner to fight Sergey Kovalev! Maybe Hopkins experience can carry him through,......or we might be looking at Dawson k.o 2.0.. What do ya'll think? http://sports.yahoo.com/news/bernard-hopkins-issued-championship-ultimatum-forced-face-russian-054800740.html Bernard Hopkins Issued Championship Ultimatum, Forced to Face Russian Wrecking Machine By Paul Magno | Yahoo! Contributor Network – 17 hours ago Email Share COMMENTARY | History-making 48-year-old world champ, Bernard Hopkins (53-6-2, 32 KOs) is in a real bind. The reigning IBF light heavyweight titlist was set to face the solid, but unspectacular Karo Murat in a mandatory title defense on July 13, but only because he had to--- and, likely, because he had a good chance of winning. The Murat fight was a necessary evil if Hopkins wanted to move on to a big arena-filler later this year and bring along the IBF strap as a bargaining chip. But Germany's Murat is suddenly out of the picture, felled by visa issues that prevented him from entering the United States. Meanwhile, as Murat was being counted out of his title shot with the future hall of famer, the IBF's no. 4 contender, Sergey Kovalev was beating the stuffing out of no. 5 contender, Cornelius White en route to a TKO 3 victory Friday night in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. This Monday morning the IBF announced that the heavy-handed Russian wrecking machine, Kovalev, would be replacing Murat as the mandatory light heavyweight contender. Representatives of Hopkins and his new mandatory challenger have until July 17 to negotiate a deal or see the bout head off to purse bid. Hopkins, who has said that he only wants big fights at his age, was willing to take a small fight against a lesser challenger. Now, not only is he being pushed into a small fight, but it'll be a small fight against an extremely dangerous opponent with more than a fair chance of upsetting all of his plans. The undefeated 30-year-old Kovalev (21-0-1, 19 KOs) is absolutely no joke. The only blemish on the Russian's record is a foul-induced technical draw in 2011. Taking away that fluke occurrence, Kovalev should be on a run of nine straight stoppage victories with eight of those stoppages taking place in the third round or sooner. Roman Simakov, one of only two men to take Kovalev seven rounds or more, paid dearly for his efforts, losing his life three days after the 2011 TKO 7 loss due to brain injuries sustained in the bout. Buddy KILLED A MAN! i didnt even know about that..... Lol he wont survive the later rounds with Hopkins bro. He hasn't even gone more then three in years? Everybody looks likw the next wrecking machine when they are fighting journeymen

Hopkins ain't losing to this guy. Dudes defense is crap, punches are not that fast and all he does is come forward. Hopkins is too skilled...sorry guys. This won't be the guy to KO the old legend.:no:

The LHW division is that weak. Indeed. I wish Ward and Froch would move up to it already. Then we could have some really good fights with Ward, Froch, Hopkins, Stevenson, and Kovalev in the mix.

Hopkins still has the faster hands, and more skills. Kovalev is a big puncher with pretty good skills, but even at 48, I'm not taking power over Hopkins.

People still care about Hopkins?

y would u wanna see that for the same reason the worst fanbase rocked Pacquiao's unconscious body as a sig for months.

Not seen all of the video but his defence is so open, his hand speed is slow and fairly readable and most important, his footwork is slow. Hopkin's will never be just there to be hit. This guy will find it hard to land hard all night and Hopkin's should take him out of his rhythm. I will look further on this video. What do you think of my thoughts? Actually he's really mobile for a LHW, very light on his feet, at least early rounds
