I think kovolev will eventually walk down the old man and stop him, retire in the corner, or Hopkins will find a way out ala Dawson 1.
I think Hopkins will give away the early rds, looking to let kovolev burn some energy but by the 4th when Hopkins looks to get some offense going I think he gets clipped in exchanges, and he will start getting beaten up by the mid rounds and either stopped or he shells up and loses in points
As great as Hopkins is, fighting a prime, at his peak, bigger, younger, ko machine with skills like kovolev, I just don't see how Hopkins can keep him off for all 12 rds..
