"Alien" Hopkins vs "Krusher" Kovalev Post fight Discussion thread

[jas]

Kovalev doesn't know what he's dealing with!

[J-champ]

If B-hop has enough left, he will box, maul and hold his way to a split decision.

Hopkins will box his face off and break him down then maul him to the ropes and stop him brutally.

Why is it that he hasn't done this to anyone else at LHW? Kovalev should retire if B-Hop beats him that bad.

He conserves himself. You don't push a 49 year old body. You do just enough.

But this fight is big enough and dangerous enough for him to go all out.

Expect Hopkins to knock out kovalev in the late rounds being slightly down on the cards and become a top 10 all time great.

If hopkins fights a dirty fight like he usually does,then sergey needs to do it right back.Coming with his head lowered,overly clinching,rabbit punches while hold with one hand,low blows when the ref can't see,ect.

[rambov]

Hopkins could win by KO because of Kovalev's aggression .

[SlySlickSmooth]

I still can't believe Hopkins took this fight. As of today I think Hopkins wins this.

[tenPt]

Hopkins has slowed down a lot, it may be dangerous to take this fight at his age. If he were to win it might say more about Kovalev than it does Hopkins.

[jas]

If Hopkins wins he's the greatest of this era followed by pacquaio via a small margin.
