I like BHop but I think Kovalev is just too much.

I'm watching Kovalev videos and he leaves himself very open, knows how to throw punches but still looks raw as a fighter. Will huge power and work-rate be enough? I don't know. I'm staying on the fence for this one.

I agree with Max 100%.


Kovalev has the raw talent and skills to be GOAT LHW/ATG, easily. This is a a true statement by Max

Wide open for straight right counters a lot of the time. He steps in with his hands down a lot too and if a shot gets rolled or deflected he's often off balance afterwards. He dominates guys because his shots clearly hurt like hell, and most of his opponents aren't really looking to counter him.

I hope Hopkins pulls an upset.

Had a look on oddschecker. You can still get Hopkins at about 5/2 and Kovalev at 2/5.

The interesting thing is the spread of the bets. Despite those odds, 51.7% of the bets made have been for Hopkins, with only 45% of the bets made backing Kovalev.

A lot of people having a small punt on B-Hop it seems.

The odds on Hopkins by stoppage are 17 to 1. Come Sunday morning, I'll be rich
