Comments Thread For: Sillakh: Hopkins vs. Kovalev is a 50-50 Showdown

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Soon to be cruiserweight contender Ismayl Sillakh (21-2, 17KOs) is very familiar with WBO light heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev. Sillakh suffered a vicious second round knockout loss at the hands of Kovalev in November of 2013.

This coming November, Kovalev (25-0-1, 23KOs) will take part in a unification showdown with WBA/IBF champion Bernard Hopkins (55-6-2, 32KOs).

BoxingScene caught up with Sillakh, who in his younger days was a highly decorated amateur with a 302-16 record, to get his thoughts on the fight.
