Comments Thread For: Kovalev Explains Why Bernard Hopkins is a 'Dirty Fighter'

[Check_hooks]

The only way BHop stands a chance against Kovalev is if he makes it a dirty fight

I hope they have a lenient ref cuz I want to see if Kovalev can beat him using all the tricks in the book

Let me ask you guys something.

Wouldn't a win over Andre Ward launch Hopkins into G.O.A.T. status?

[beez721]

I thought he wasn't worried about Hopkins tactics. That was a lie.

can you blame him? hops uses every dirty trick in the book. don't blame kovalev for being concerned about it. hops will fake low blow or injury if kovalev hurts him. im glad kovalev recognizes this

same people saying kova wins by ko are worried about a 49 year olds dirty tactics

a 49 year old bullying a prime 31 year old..........................

sorry dude. faking injury or low blows when tired or hurt isn't exactly bullying. if hops wins this fight its not going to be by bullying the much bigger and better puncher. it will be with ring smarts and dirty tactics

[IronDanHamza]

I really hope he doesn't start faking injuries like he sometimes does.

Certainly hope he doesn't quit like he did against Dawson.

[Weltschmerz]

He fights like a deer?

[Weltschmerz]

yea , he flip-flops a lot

he is obviously been told what to say

GTFO you fanboy... Kovalev isn't told what to say by anybody.

[RawDawgHasSpokn]

I lost all respect for Popkins after the Dawson debacle. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if he found a way to pull this off.
