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

[Cutthroat]

Kovalev is breathing hard, dude looks dead tired. This is concerning considering Kovalev didn't have that high of a work rate and Hopkins wasn't really throwing.

I can see Beterbiev taking him past 6 and KO'ing him, very strong, durable chin, powerful puncher.

Did Bernard just say he came to gives the fans a fight and not run around?

Hahahahahaha

I genuinely think (due to the smirk on his face) that he was somewhat taking the piss.

Calzaghe's legacy.....took a knock tonight.

[_original_]

Even though he lost every round, I'm proud to call myself a B-Hop fan.


Major props to Kovalev, I know he beat a 50 year old but this is a special case, and he mostly beat him with smarts and boxing skills which was even more impressive.

Maybe he's apologizing for a lot of the hugging/spoiling he did in his career.

He sees the error of his ways and has repented.

B-Hop went out like a man though, he went toe to toe and showed that iron chin. B-Hop is still a legend.

He went out like a man in the last rd. Fought the whole fight throwing10 punches a rd. Had he really fought the entire fight, he gets put to sleep!

he gave him the rag doll treatment !!!

Yup! Lol

Damn my old head lost tonight. Kovalev fought smart, it is what it is.

It's a quality win for Kovalev no doubt. B-Hop is a warrior.

Lol exactly ppl are acting like he went to war for 12 rds.

[NChristo]

u notice how kovolov said hopkins stevenson fight is already set? and bernard acts like he has something in future interesting

He didn't say that at all, he said its of his opinion that Hopkins would beat Stevenson and the Hopkins can still do something in the division. Nothing about a fight being set at all and if there was why would Kovalev know ?.
