Likely to be in Atlantic City. Barclays Center no longer interested, according to Michael Woods.


Why wouldn't they want to host this? This is one of the biggest fights of the year

Kovalev is fighting Hopkins...and I guess I should be happy about this...but...its Hopkins, man! Hopkins is very cautious and methodical, and just has a way of turning these fights into snoozefests. And its not like the opponent is going to press the action? Hopkins has a way of forcing his style on the OPPONENT as well. That opponent can throw 200 punches a round in any other fight. But against Hopkins the guy is intimidated into a chessgame of 5-6 punches per round.

Kovalev is The Crusher, I know that. But I'm 90% sure this fight will be a tactical bore. Hopkins will take ZERO risks against someone with this kind of power and aggression. He will lure Kovalev into this wating game and put everyone to sleep. The only purpose of this fight is another milestone for Hopkins.
