Comments Thread For: Haye: I Would Be Surprised if Kovalev KO's Hopkins

[Accountoffline]

B-Hop is ATG but this is not a good fight for him, if he gets hurt, it will be seriously hurt and I hope they have a good ref.

By far the most dangerous opponent Hopkins will face since Pavlik, more dangerous than Pavlik. But Hopkins has a good reputation of making upsets happen and making history in the ring. That Kovalev power tho. Tough fight to call.

haye himself would be KO'ed if he ever stepped into the ring with kovalev

The storybook ending would be for Hopkins to come off the mat and win a UD, then retire.
I'm pulling BHop, but even in his prime he would have a hard time with Kovalev.

Pavlik was a middleweight who moved up 2 divisions to fight BHop and BHop was 6 years younger then than he is now.

pretty crazy to think how much can happen in a boxers career in 6 years, for some its their whole career and for B-Hop thats just a segment of his.

dudes been a professional years before I was born, it's a special treat to watch someone like him fight broadcasted live

I have a funny feeling Hopkins will frustrate Kovalev and make him look ordinary. Kovalev is a great offensive fighter, but not proven to be a great fighter overall. B-Hop will cause Kovalev's punch output to drop astronomically. Missing and being countered tends to do that.

I wont be surprised if Kovalev KO Hopkins because if you get caught by a power puncher like Kovalev you will go down. Kovalev defense is underrated and his a good boxer too with power on both hands. Hopkins is a great defensive boxer if he can beat Kovalev once again I might believe that he really is an alien. lol!

I think you're on to something.

i predict a lot of clinching, holding and headbutt on this one.
