The key to beat Hopkins is controling distance,and havinng good balance, if you cant do that he will hit and hold and squezze out a victory.
Kovalev has shown that his footwork is top notch, he basicly beats his opponents by constantly being in firing distance then steps away or to the side keep his apponent were he wants them, from a technical point of view its nice to see someone having such natural footwork talent.
His Ko+s starts with his balance he can sit down and throw hard punches without ever standing still.
Unlike Pascal that needs to be on the outside and then explodes.
Hopkins wont be abel to get close to him and hold and smuther his game, he will get picked apart and broken down and stopped, simply a bad match up
It would basicly be like the Dawson fight if Dawson had twice the punching power and a killer instinct.
And that is maybe the most important part, Kovalev like many of russian guys, are a stoned cold killer, almost synical in his dismantel of his apponent, he wont give a **** when bernard tries to intimidate or get under his skin, or plays dirty.
