    I found that pretty hilarious myself. He asked him 3 or 4 questions as if Stevenson was already signed and going. Bhop had to put him in place each time. I'm pretty sure it's Kovalev next.

    Stevenson is with Haymon, it looks as if B-Hop has fallen on the De La Hoya side of the fence.

      I asked this earlier and asked my buddy who saw it more and he told me Hopkins said it's whoever signs contract first. That's not making it clear it's Kov

      I may be wrong cause I'm in Vegas still watching World Cup but that's what I heard.

      Go Argentina!!!

        That's what I think too. They're still doing cards together but I bet it's just short term until they set up else where.

          I really hope so. Let Aduckis's b*tch move blow right up in his face.

                This is true. Everytime Jim Gray tried to put Stevenson as the one getting the fight Hopkins would say it could be Kovalev and it was whoever signed the contract first.

                  Pretty sure that was Kathy Duva saying that and not Hopkins
