    Seen it a few times. Kovalev was not hurt at all. Eyes didn't bounce. Looking straight but could not plant feet because left was stepped on. Off balance shot. Nothing to see.

    That said, he has enough holes that BHOP could explode. Its a fight
    He got stepped on and hit while he was off Balance due to getting stepped on


    Nothing more. Would of happened to anybody

      Guys, his foot was stepped on. They showed it in the replay. Pay attention.

        I didn't see the holes B-Hop could exploit, but I saw some Stevenson could.

        Kovalev was wide open to the left hand, he repeatedly got caught with it and only really took control of the fight when Caparello stopped throwing it.

          Kovalev Stevenson is a genuine 50/50 fight.

          It's who lands first and whose chin is worst. Kovalev takes a round to warm up, but Stevenson may have lesser chin, but certainly better d.

          50/50

            I did notice that when Bhop was talking Kovolev would not look at him, nor when Bhop kept trying to look at him Kovolov wouldn't make eye contact. I'm not making this up. Somebody go check it out. Not saying he scared but I think he was caught off guard.

              Kovalev was mentally there. He just took Caparello Lightly in round 1.

                I think kovolev pressed the fight to look good and got a bit sloppy but still dominated...

                I think kovolev is gonna walk down Bernard and stop him midway thru the fight.. I don't like Bernard's chances at all vs kovolev

                  Repeatedly? I'll have to watch again because I didn't see Caparello landing repeatedly.

                    Even that's a bit of a stretch. Someone posted the gif- Caparello stepped on his foot then punched him after he was off balance from the foot step


                    It happens

                      The knockdown wasn't even a knockdown....He stepped on his foot and the momentum pushed him off balance for ****s sake....Which happens alot when Orthodox fights Southpaws.......

                      I think Hopkins may win but Stfu with that ****....The only people who think he wasn't "Mentally there" are the ******ed fanboys that think that Kovalev is an invincible God or something....
