Comments Thread For: Hopkins: I Won't Get a Scratch on Me From Kovalev!

[White_Knight]

Translation:
EPO and PEDS have me fighting way past my prime.
I'm going to hug Kovalev harder then Big Dunn and the Floyd ball-washers hug Floyd's balls and as soon as Kovalev gets free, I will throw myself on the floor and call foul at every chance.

There is nothing abnormal about being world champion at age 50.

I can't get excited about this. Hopkins will probably try and get Kovalev thrown out.

Would that surprise. a single soul here?

He is a phenom but he's not for me.

the only con kovalev has is his trainer john Jackson , that guy sucks as a trainer .

I'm taking the advice in your signature, that's why I have nothing to say about your idiotic comment

Perfect. Go forth and multiply.

That's right, you caught me. Damn.
My photos are on this site and if i look like a butthurt out of shape middle aged man, then then i don't know what to say.

Jokes on you kiddo. Try again.

Pure speculation on your part.

But since we're speculating...Kathy Duva said that it's the commission's job to regulate drug testing and basically washed her hands of it. Makes me wonder how natural Kovalev's KO streak really is?

Absolutely pure speculation. Until they prove otherwise, they are all guilty.
Guilty until proven innocent i say, with the advance of designer PED's and the archaic drug testing methods employed by the commission.

Hopkins is so right smh. This dude Kovalev is just ordinary and I suspect the old man is going to expose it for the world to see.

It is not fair to say Kovalev is ordinary. He punches crisply, almost like shadow boxing, and digs in at the end of the shot - rather than the forceful swing the majority of boxers employ. He puts his shots together very well and has walked through everybody up to world level.

However Hopkins is old school. He moves constantly, judges distance immaculately, and gets you thinking before popping you with a lead right and smothering any potential counter. Yes, he fouls. Yes, he ain't "pretty" to watch, but from a 'sweet science' perspective, watching BHop fight is like watching a genius at work. Everything is calculated and planned. Kovalev has seen nothing like it - he's just not that experienced. That's not a knock of Kovalev, but he'll get in there and have to figure out how to pin Bernard down whilst eating solid shots.

Hopkins learnt his trade fighting the likes of Glen Johnson and Roy Jones Jr. Kovalev grew up on Cleverly and Agnew. If he loses, he'll just be a bit of a victim of the lack of depth in modern boxing. He is, however, an excellent fighter.
