Bernard Hopkins vs Sergey Kovalev @ 175: Who wins?

[!! Shawn]

Hopkins was getting touched up pretty good by Murat, if that was Kov, he woulda been done for.

I love Bhop though, would love to see him pull out another legendary underdog domination.

Wise man!

You must not know Hopkins well enough, my good friend. He has many, many tools in the toolbelt

You are right. That is very detailed, substantiated reasoning. How could I miss that?

I think The Alien hands this Russian a boxing lesson!

Easy fight for Hopkins.

Y'all must've forgot! The Alien has built a legacy around dismantling scary punchers.

All the fighters Hopkins faced and no one has ever been close to knocking him out. All of sudden this unknown Kovalev comes along and he can knock Hopkins out??

I hate to hop on the Kovalev hype wagon, but I just think he'd be too much for B-Hop at this point. If B-Hop didn't look old heading into this fight he'd be old after. Hopkins can have all of the class and craft in the world, but I think Kovalev would only have to catch up with him a few times before it goes really bad for him.

I don't vote against Bernard Hopkins! It's disrespectful after all he did in the sport.

But I wait for milkroot to accept the bet with me -- I said that B-Hop will never fight Kovalev...

When has Hopkins ever been thoroughly beaten?

He know how to survive if worse comes to worse. He'll pull out a special tool from the toolbelt if Kovalev tries to come forward and let his hands go.

When have you ever seen Hopkins get hit with a combination? C'mon, dog.

The Alien went twelve with a prime Roy Jones and he wasn't even lumped up after. What the **** has Kovalev done?

All you guys are gobbling up that HBO hype.

[Larry the boss]

Hopkins by decision

[sugarsmosley]

50/50 fight at this point

[jas]

bad fight for bhop imho. kovalev starts fast, bhop starts slow. kovalev is strong inside to not let bhop clinch when he wants to. kovalev by decision.

fight will never happen...

prime bhop damages him badly

I accept. Don't try to push me up against a corner. I'm a man; I have balls. When someone runs up on me I knuckle up and dent chins.
