    If it was intentional, its genius. If not, its still pretty damn amazing.

      He knew the left hook was coming given trinidads feet and stance ,

      And yea I believe the left upper as defence was intentional

      Great counter shot

        I'm starting to really think about this fight. And now I'm starting to think that Hopkins is going to get sparked out.

          Agnew lasted until the 7th

          Hopkins is known to have an iron chin

          Kovalev has never been past the 8th round in a fight....

          Hopkins knocks kovalev down multiple times in the championship rounds

            Win or lose I give Hopkins all the credit in taking on such a tough opponent....not to mention it's very exciting for us fans considering the garbage mismatches lately

                    By the fifth round Hopkins will realize he cant contest physically with Kovalev, I think he will realize Sergey hits harder than he thought and is technically better than he thought. He will then fake an injury of some sort probably his shoulder, eye or arm. In the post fight interview he will **** on about how someone needs to 'beat him out of boxing' etc.

                      i'm actually switching my pick.

                      taking kovalev to win on points. i think hopkins will be able to get out of the way of the power punches, but i can't see him landing the more effective shots.

                      kovalev will outwork him.
