Comments Thread For: Sergey Kovalev Expects To Learn Plenty From Hopkins

[Joe Beamish]

If Kovalev wants to mimic Marciano's effectiveness against Moore, he'll have to be active and relentless. No pausing and letting up. Be hitting.

Then maybe he beats Hopkins. Stand around and think and wait? Kovalev is toast.

Absolutely. Relentless is the right word. And be mentally tough. It may be a Marciano v Walcott but Kovalev doesn't have a 13th round to knock him out.

Sergey Kovalev is a once in a generation talent. I do not believe we will ever see another LHW that possesses the skill-set to match the once in a millennia devastating bone crushing power that he has. Sergey Kovalev's come around only once every 2014 years and the next one we see might not be til the year 3000 and that's being severely optimistic.

And we can only hope that the 'alien' is still not boxing when that day arrives...

get ready for fake injuries and phantom low blows from hopkins.

its gonna be worse than his calzaghe act.

Will Kovalev be getting points for flailing his arms wildly at the air as well?

[I Love Jesus!]

either Hop will do what you say or get brutally KO'd within 4. Kovalev has a lazer killer right hand, long and deadly, it arrives with atomic force, it will shake Hop to the marrow of his bones, and if he stands that, he will again prove he is a great champion.

When I think of the fight I think of Marciano vs MOORE. Kovalev will do to Hop if he is truly a great, what Marciano did to Moore, albeit it may not be easy,,,,,,,unless of course Kovalev is truly great. We shall see !

Not likely since Hopkins has never even been hurt and hes been in with the best punchers in boxing. Kovalev has good power to but he's not he man

All I have to say is Kovalev had better win this fight. He's younger, bigger, stronger, and has enough experience and skill to deal with Hopkins. I admire Hopkins' accomplishments, but the time has come for him to stop boxing.

Really? He's never been past 8 rounds
