How is Stevenson gonna beat Hopkins? KO him? Outbox him? Outhustle him?

B-hop is mentally stronger than Stevenson if he doesn't catch B-hop early then he loses.

How Hopkins has lost before, by being outworked by the quicker and more athletic guy. I'd be rooting for Hopkins no doubt but I don't think he wins this one.

Stevenson with his power has a chance against anyone, but tonight we saw some serious holes in his game. I personally think Kovalev knocks him out and Hopkins decisions him. I also think Pascal beats him

Nope. Hopkins UD

Nope. He can't.. Loses by UD

I think b-hop still wins, stevenson is good, but too 1 handed

Do you really think that Showtime put up this huge business plan just to let "the Pimp" destroy "the Legend"? I doubt -- Legends must prevail... Back to the topic: the true question isn't "HOW", but "WHY" Adonis is going to beat B-Hop? I don't find any answer to this question.

From the RBR thread and when Hopkins started dominating, you stopped posting. Oh dang Jas

KO ? Hopkins has great defence and chin plus excellent recuperative powers. Bhop is always mentally switched on. Eyes locked on you. If this adonis guy thinks hes gonna land a left and its fight over, hes got another thing coming. Can't outbox him. And doesn't throw enough punches to outhustle him. And Cant fight on the inside. If Stevenson is to win this fight then his power will be VERY important. You dismiss it and I don't know why. Stevenson is quite possibly the hardest hitting guy Hopkins will have ever faced. Add to that great agility, movement and good handspeed and you have a handful for Bhop. Yes Hops has seen every style under the sun and he is a terrific defensive boxer, especially over the last 10 years or so but the way he started out against Murat, Shumenov, Cloud and Pascal will hurt him against Stevenson. Bhop has started far too slow in recent years, especially against Shumenov, he barely through 3 punches in the first two rounds and Shumenov outworked him with his jab alone. He can't afford to do that against Stevenson, if he does, Stevenson will get in a few left hands and no matter how great Hops chin is (the greatest chin ever??) he will get hurt and no fighter can afford to do that against someone who has learned how to finish a fight as well as Stevenson.

From the RBR thread and when Hopkins started dominating, you stopped posting. You wrote: "So why did you say Shumenov is gonna beat Hopkins?" I have to ask you again: Where did I say that Shumenov is going to beat Hopkins?... Answer: Nowhere! I've stopped posting when it was more than evident that I was right when saying: "Do you think that they pulled Shumenov out of retirement just to give grandpa a whooping? So much agitation in order to get B-Hop retired by a noname?"

This must be a regrettable mistake... Do you have a link for this supposed statement of mine? (Please check the poll for the Hopkins-Shumenov fight -- I didn't vote... I never vote or bet against B-Hop...) From the RBR thread and when Hopkins started dominating, you stopped posting. Bad matchup for B-Hop... Shumenov giving up his height already. Hopkins can throw a right hand over that left easily Yes, sure... Grandpa has a hard night... I like Shumenovs style, but B-Hop is crafty and will figure him out soon. Yes, sure...

So why did you say Shumenov is gonna beat Hopkins? If you can't produce a link with me rooting for Shumenov, I can prove otherwise: http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?p=14442919#post14442919 04-19-2014, 01:49 PM _______ #4 Quote: Originally Posted by Red Cyclone I'm hoping to see the end of Bhop, hopefully Shumenov can do what Murat couldn't and for once and for all to KO this guy. ______________________________ MDPopescu: Do you think that they pulled Shumenov out of retirement just to give grandpa a whooping?

hopkins isn't beating stevenson. His time is up after this next fight.

Stevenson will win by brutal knockout.

Hopkins may use the Pascal gameplan and force the fight as Stevenson doesnt handle pressure well and pushing him back will take away some of his punching power. Also, Stevenson telegraphs his punches, doesn't throw a right hand upstairs.

Stevenson is an Al Haymon fighter. Hopkins and al haymon are friends.Hopkins thanked haymon in the post fight interview. HBO was still interested though even though he was a Haymon fighter. I think they're just not down to pay people like Edwin Rodriguez over a million bucks. It's a shame if he doesn't cause another bidding war because he's cutting himself short money wise
