Comments Thread For: Kovalev: Hopkins Impressed, But Shumenov's Not Smart

[HEND]

LOL. You're saying that when Shumenov literally only trained himself for the B-Hop fight

I didn'tsay that Shumenov is smart either just alittle ironic when you hear that a guy like Kovalev call someone "not smart". C'mon now... He does well what he does but he has no plan B and I highly doubt that he can adopt if he struggles with someone but I think we will see on Saturday. Can't wait! I think B-Hop will win by decision, it will be convincing but not an easy time.

Think Pavlik then Kovaloss

Hop will school the slow inexperienced cement footed Russian.

Kovalev had a serious amateur pedigree consisting of almost 250 fights and cement footed? He is pretty fleet-footed for a LHW when he needs to be.

Think big difference between fighting a middleweight in 2008 and a brutal punching lightheavyweight in 2014.

You're an inexperienced fight fan if you think that b.s. Kov isn't just power. Any casual boxing fan could see that.

Though it wasn't my comment: Everybody lose their **** because "amateur pedigrees". Like every people who claim this follow amateur boxing.
Since this is professional boxing and I really doubt that most of the people who talk about "amateur pedigrees" all the time actually follow amateur boxing, I think it's smarter if you base youropinion on professional fights. Kovalev didn't seem to be that fast on his fights which I've seen so I don't give a flying fuck on his amateur pedigree, I make my opinion based on what I saw from him and he wasn't particularly fast so I won't call him fast cause his amateur record...

after his loss everyone wants to treat shumenov as if he was some cab driver he was a legit threat its easy after the fact to discount the guy and to call him not smart the guy is well educated and a wealthy business guy what has Kovalev achieved out of the ring.

Kovalev was pretty fast in the Sillakh fight.

Also, Kovalev CAN adjust. Again, look at the Sillakh fight.

Shumenov stood there following Hopkins around the ring, didnt really let his hands go was odd.

He ******ly/arrogantly trained without a coach leading up to the biggest fight and hardest opponent of his whole career. Also his success is actually inherited through a family business, not self-made.
