Comments Thread For: Gradovich Backs Kovalev To End Bernard Hopkins' Run

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

IBF featherweight champion Evgeny Gradovich is backing his good friend, WBO light heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev, to power past WBA/IBF champion Bernard Hopkins in their November 8th unification from the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. Gradovich and Kovalev, although under different promotional firms, share the same manager in Egis Klimas.

They have the same coach probably they are friends and he also comes from Russia --> His opinion is quiet irrelevant. What else he would say?
But he seems confident,maybe he just knowsfrom Hopkins that he is awkward and 49 years old.

The big question is... will the ref allow Hopkins to grab and hold all night? If so, expect yet another boring BHop UD win. It would be great though if Kov pulled a Dawson and flung BHop halfway across the ring to start things off. HA

Yeah sorry I missed the word, I thought about Klimas, this guy: http://boxrec.com/list_humans.php?hu...99&cat=manager. He isn't coach though.

Hopefully there will be a fair referee, but I doubt it.

I shudder at the thought of Jack Reiss or Laurence Cole working the fight. Or Steve Smoger, whose behavior in the Hopkins-Murat was a disgrace.

Hopkins will be holding a lot, clamping Kovalev's arm. For sure he'll attempt to cut Kovalev with a deliberate head butt, as he did to Dawson, Cloud, Wright and others.
