Comments Thread For: Kovalev Ready To Fight Dirty if Hopkins Gets Dirty

[stovepipe]

Kovalev is -275, I think that is a great bet to make, not to take anything away from Hopkins, as I believe it is possible that he could win, but in my book it is unlikely. Hopkins has become such a phenom, such an incredible story, the odds are not reflecting reality. I think Hops should be about +500 at best, not +200 which is what I am seeing.

This is a fight where EVERYTHING has to go right for Hopkins all the time, in every round. The chances of him taking out are Kov exist, but they are limited. And the chances of BHop absolutely bewildering Kov for 12 rounds exist, but are limited as well.

Kov landing a fight changing punch exist for 36 minutes, should it go that far. Plus, Kov is not underestimated Hops and has the perfect trainer for this particular fight, in former Hops opponent and trainer JD Jackson.

This isn't to say that Kov can't get popped and dropped by the old man, but as a bettor playing the odds, Kov to win looks very very solid at -275.

So you're saying Kovalev has a punchers chance? I agree. It's the only chance he has or guess what? He loses.

Hopkins is already in his head then...

I think that they said that they are going to use instant replay in this fight.

Yeah I heard that too

He won't need to and it won't matter. I am a huge Hopkins fan but lets be real here. Hopkins has fought nobody of note in years. Last passable guy he fought was Chad and he faked an injury in one fight and clearly lost the other. Cloud gets beat by everyone A level, and even in the Jones rematch he looked lackluster. Pascal is **** and managed to drop B Hop multiple times. Since then its been nobody of note. If the Crusher loses this one it says more about the state of the division than it does about Hopkins. People see a light skinned puncher and keep claiming its Pavlik all over again. A lot of you are in for a shock come fight night. That was years ago and Hopkins is 50. All the craft in the world can't change that.

Let's just see what happens when/if BHop gets dropped in deep waters. Like others have said... I doubt he can avoid the Kov bombs for the entire 12 rounds.

Yes I'm prepared for yet another boring BHop UD filled with punch n grab and fouls. But there's always that chance.....
