Comments Thread For: Kovalev To Hopkins: Come Fight Me! Are You Ready?

[cupocity303]

We're all waiting for B-Hop to get KO'd. I, for one, cannot wait.

I'm sorry, I didn't know that you were appointed to speak on behalf of everybody.

I make sure to check with you next time....

Oh, i'm sorry, I didn't realise you were a fan of this scumbag, snoozer.

I'm sorry. Let me re-phrase it: 'I' cannot wait for him to retire.

I fancy you scored the Calzaghe fight in B-Hops favour.

This guy is a good fighter. By no means should anybody underestimate his ability to beat Hopkins.

However, HE WILL NOT KO HOPKINS, give that up already. If Hopkins has established one thing, it is that he knows how to NOT get ko'd.

Hopkins will neutralize most of his workrate/combinations by being slippery and yes HOLDING and moving in directions that force him to reach with punches. So if he can't just simply bum rush Hopkins, that means that he will have to be consistent enough to win rounds and pull off a decision. Can he do it? I doubt it.

But that's why fights are fought. I personally never heard of this guy till today and was focused on "The Pimp" Adonis Stevenson. Too many new faces for a 48 year old who has a 2-year window and at best, four more fights left. Perhaps Kovalev needs to eliminate one other guy with a title (I.E. Nathan Cleverly)

That would be poor observational ability on your part, considering the avatar & signature pictures that I'm sporting.

What, excessive clinching, feigning low-blows, illegally tying up opponents?

Maybe B-Hop should stop cherry-picking and fight a live-wire? If he's unprepared, he should take his ass off into retirement.

The trolling is weak with this one.

Kovalev has such great powerful combinations and timing. He will be a tough nut to crack. It does not mean he cannot be beaten. He does leave himself open for punches in return when he rushes in.

Can anyone at LT heavy right now do it take advantage of it? It is possible but also a very tall order. He seems to be in terminator mode with total disregard for what his opponent offers. That disregard could cost him, but I am not going to bet against him right now. I actually favor him against anyone at his weight class right now.

Like I said if B hop takes this fight now, I will give him major props and if he wins in dominant fashion you can't hate on him. I just don't see him taking this fight, Kovalev is better known in the Philly area has fought on NBC twice and trains in America, he would actually be a better opponent than Murat who nobody even knows about and doesn't look impressive at all.

If B hop wants to go out with a **** this is the fight to take, it will really please the audience cause you know Kovalev will come to ****
