    You just called the best or 2nd best amateur of all time a face first brawler.

    If that's not ban worthy, IDK what is.

    In fact, reported.

      Rooting for Hopkins but he isn't winning this, not even sure he survives this.

          I'm 99% certain he'll cut Sergey with a head butt, like he did to Dawson and Cloud. Dawson had a big gash, but managed to survive the distance.

          Hopkins has never lost a one-sided fight. I'm sure he won't get stopped, although he may get outworked.

          The ref Steve Smoger helped B-Hop against Murat, and whether it's his pal Smoger or someone else, the ref will be on his side. And unless it's domination, Hopkins will receive the win on the cards. It may go to the cards because of a bad cut on Kovalev after an "accidental" head butt.

          Hopkins will use head games more than usual this time - for example, he'll complain about Kovalev's gloves just before the fight.

          I'm rooting for Kovalev, but I'm predicting a close decision win for Hopkins.

          Once Hopkins feels Kovalevs power, he'll be in survival mode. Seeing as to how we are talking about Bernard Freakin' Hopkins here, that's saying a lot.

          JDJ said they're going to work the body early and often. There's absolutely no way a near 50 year old man, even if its the legend himself, will be able to withstand the punishment he is going to receive on November 8th.

          I don't expect him to shell up like Agnew, but once he feels Kovalevs power I think B-Hop will be on his bike and it's not going to work against Kovalev. The timing, precision and accuracy on top of the crippling power and 100 of these punches a round will be too much for Hopkins.


          If Hopkins manages to survive past 8 or so, it'll be interesting to see how Kovalev's stamina is. That's his one big (and only, IMO) question mark at this point.


          If Hopkins beats Kovalev, he truly is an alien.


          Kovalev doesn't need a KO. He's going to be scoring points early and often. But I think he scores a mid-to-late round stoppage.



          WARRRR Krusher!!

          WARRR Hopkins!!!!

            Although I did say I wish the judge who scored Novikov-Vargas 118-111 a couple weeks ago would go to hell.

              I like both fighters but I would like to see Hopkins make his mark as a legend.

                  Don't think so. He said the same thing last week.

                    That would be great, but it's not going to happen.

                    Kovalev can beat any man born of woman.

                    But Hopkins is not a man. He's an alien from the Epsilon Eridani star system.
