Comments Thread For: Kovalev Not Focused on KO, But Aims To 'Crush' Hopkins

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Big Bear City, CA - As current WBO Light Heavyweight World Champion Sergey "Krusher" Kovalev prepares for the fight of his life against Bernard "The Alien" Hopkins next month, he is on the precipice of a life-altering event as his wife, Natalya, is moments away from giving birth to their first child.

The Kovalevs are expecting their son any day now, with the official due date scheduled for October 17. Despite the stress and distractions that come with expectant-parenthood, the 31-year-old Kovalev assured everyone at his media day at Wolf Total Fitness in Big Bear City, Calif. yesterday that his focus is still fixated 100 percent on Hopkins, "I'm living for this fight. Only for this fight. I'm leaving for Florida when my [first] baby is due. I'll be in training camp in Florida because this is the most important thing in my life right now."

He sounds like he really really respects Hopkins and said that he's not scared to lose.

Kovalev is going to destroy Hopkins worse than Calzaghe did.

You need to go into this mean, Sergey. Don't play Hopkins's game.

Calzaghe destroyed Hopkins? It looked to me like he merely outpointed him. Easy on the hyperbole.

Calzaghe didn't destroy Hopkins. He arguably lost that fight, just ask daggum.

I've haven't been impressed with Hopkins as much as other people. His best wins came against smaller fighters who weren't real Middleweights. He lost to JT twice, and he refused to take random-blood testing against Pascal. He still hasn't been tested for a fight btw.

I'm sure Kovalev would have demanded random-blood testing if he thought B-Hop would have accepted and not ducked the fight...
