      I know styles make fights but I can assure you that the past 5 opponents of Kovalev could all hang with B-Hop. I'm not sure if B-Hop's past 5 could hang with Kovalev.

      This is the toughest fight of B-Hop's career since prime Roy Jones. B-Hop has had no problem picking on smaller fighters, well this time he's in with a big calculated killer.

      I like B-Hop but damn the man is going down. It's going to be a sad night, but I'm glad he's passing the torch to a young lion. All the respect in the world to B-Hop for taking this fight but I seriously have doubts this fight actually happens

        This is an interesting fight. Can Sergey Kovalev do what no other boxer has done?

          Only 23 votes for Kovalev by SD/UD/MD. That's strange I mean Kovalev could win this fight on point just being himself and be active and aggressive minded. This is one dangerous and difficult fight for Hopkins. I've learned NOT to bet against Hop but I don't know about this fight though.

          Anyone thinks that Kovalev could be underestimating Hop?

            Hopkins probably took this fight because he wants to prove a point similar to the Calzaghe fight that he'll ''never let a white boy beat me'' unfortunately for him he'll get sent through the ropes this time, I hope he doesn't get too badly hurt.

              Since Kirkland/Rosado is on the under-card:



              I didn't know he was signed to GBP. Kirkland is still with 50, so will this be the first time both sides work together?

                  That's your opinion and I disagree with it personally.


                  I can't wait for this fight, it's such a close one to call, and as with Maidana vs Floyd, I like both fighters so I am more rooting for B-Hop to make history and upset the haters but Kovalev is awesome and I want to see him plow through divisions, all I know is I can't wait!

                    I think Carperello, Agnew, Cleverly, Campillo and Sillah All give B-Hop a tough competitive fight

                    B-Hop has been looking vulnerable against recent opponents who just aren't that good. On top of that there has been a kind of freak show thing going on, think about it Shumenov was his own head coach and on top of that he used to train with ****m. I love Smoger but damn he slapped the **** out of Murat. I just hope no ****** stuff is going on behind the scenes

                    I can't wait for this fight to happen either. I'm completely unbiased because It'd be dope if either fighter won. I just hope the fight takes place

                      Staggering that B Hop took this fight.

                      Kovalev is in his absolute peak and has knocked out all but two of his opponents.

                      If B Hop wins this he is the best of our era no doubt.
