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

[Tobi.G]

Im wondering who Kovalev is sparring with. Bhop as well.

Grandpa by KO, with a shot Kovalev didn't see coming.

Please remind me when was last time when Grandpa KO'ed a light heavy? Did he ever? He could not even finish off Murat and Shumenov. Just imagine what would Kovalev do to those guys. I'm not saying that BH doesn't have a chance. But predicting KO is a bit overoptimistic.

if hopkins wins this fight its going to be by kool tomfoolery.
not a lucky shot.

Does Sergey have to land clean to get Hopkins out of there? or can he just bludgeon him caveman style?

Kovalev's best chance of winning this is if he jumps on Hops and doesn't let go, just keeps punching, hitting arms, elbows, shoulders, eventually Hops will get broken down. No matter how great he is or how smart he is, Hopkins is still 49 years old and with how hard Kovalev hits, he should get hurt.

But if Kovalev shows too much respect, if he hesitates, if he throws big shots but throws them rarely, Hops will find a way to win.

It's scary when you sit back and think about who Hopkins is fighting.

He's fighting a killer from Russia. A killer, literally.

Godspeed, Bernard. Better dot all your i's and cross all your t's because this Russian mother****er is gonna go for the gusto.
