    On another note. Remember when everyone was saying B-Hop would avoid this fight like the plague?

    Anyone that predicts Kovalev KO's B-Hop, and it happens, you can't really rub it in anyone's face. You guys didn't even think he'd take the fight in the first place.
    agreeeeeeeeed go kovalev though!

      This "robotic brain" here is just seeing robotic brains everywhere... and his prediction above looked more like a prophecy, augury or divination...

        Hopkins is a real man. Like he said, he never "ran away from the fire".

          I don't know who should be more embarrassed, he for making a wrong prediction, or you for being such a desperate man that you'd dig that hard to spite some stranger on an internet forum.

            ... calling people names, it means you lost -- but you knew that.

              "lost"? lol, I wasn't even the guy you quoted. If you need some more of those chestnuts though, try "sticks and stones" next time, it's slightly newer material.

                Embarrassed for this? Did you ever hear me explain how Roy Jones was going to shock the world with a late round TKO of Joe Calzaghe? This, my friend, isn't embarrassing

                I completely underestimated Kovalev who I had admittedly not really watched prior to the fight. I just assumed he was the latest out-of-depth sloth Hopkins had chosen to continue his should've-been-buried career. I was glad when Kovalev won, admitted my error after and also came away very impressed with his skillset.

                    How many other posts from 2-3 years back do you have bookmarked just in case someone disagrees with you in a completely different thread at any point in the future?

                      Naw, you missed what I was saying. He thought he was embarrassing you when he actually looked the fool himself digging up ancient posts and trying to mock people over a prediction. I'm the first person to say, "I was wrong" when I predict incorrectly and I don't think there's any shame in it. It's just a game.
