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

[The Hammer]

We have all seen Hopkins cheat in one way or another and because its Hopkins its called "tricks or old school fighting" but other guys get labeled cheats for the same things, its nonsense and fan boy stuff really but that's just how it is.

True, there's that double standard.

Dawson did pick him up and body slam him. Out of pure frustration also. Who knows if Hopkins was really injured or not but this sounds like Kovalev is setting up excuses. It's not like Hopkins has ever bitten or attempted to kick anyone in the ring. He doesn't throw intentional rabbit punches and he doesn't try to hold and hit. He doesn't do anything that warrants preemptive complaints.

Kovalev will just walk through him. No need for dirty tactics. He will come to the ring, touch gloves and then put Grandpa to sleep. It's that simple. The racist will go to sleep.

There is a huge difference between dirty and sneaky all world class boxers have sneaky tricks. He can watch as much tape as he wants the bottom line in this fight is these are two different levels of boxing. Bhop will outclass outsmart and outwork kovalev. Kovalev is slow he has no footwork no skill and he is anout to be completely out of his league. He will be frustrated by the sixth round and completely out of gas by the 8th. This is absolutely unfamiliar territory for him. He is a mirror image of pavlik and come nov 8th this will be pavlik bhop part 2. This is boxing and there are level!#bhop

Fully expect once Hopkin's realizes he's in for a hard battle he'll begin to use the same old dirty tricks as usual, crying foul whenever he can.

Yeah, we'll know right away how much a threat Hopkins thinks Kovalev is. He fights very dirty when he thinks someone can beat him.
