Comments Thread For: Manager: Kovalev Ready To Outbox, Not Chase Hopkins

[jas]

Darnell Boone said that of Kovalev, Ward, and Stevenson, he thought Kovalev was the best boxer. I'd take that as an indication that he's at least a decent boxer.

Darnell Boone also said that he thinks Hopkins will beat kovalev

Well thanks for not engaging in hyperbole.

Manager Egis Klimas says his fighter, WBO light heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev (25-0-1, 23KOs), is not going to spend the entire fight chasing after Bernard Hopkins, the IBF's champion, in order to score a knockout victory. They will clash on Saturday night in a three belt unification at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City.

The 49-year-old veteran is very crafty and often outthinks opponents who are perceived to be powerful punchers - like Jean Pascal, Felix Trinidad, Kelly Pavlik, Tavoris Cloud, Beibut Shumenov and Antonio Tarver.

They're fronting!!....don't believe this ****...Frankenstein has to make BHop fight 3 minute rounds....if he tries to box the old legend can fight his usual minute and half rounds and out point the less experienced Frankenstein very easily....so I know they fronting...throwing curve balls...that's how you know Execution Day is near....BHop has a few hotels and houses in the heads of Team Frankenstein ...he's definitely too deep in their heads...especially for a underdog but then again BHop is not your average underdog

I read between the lines and all I see is them cooking up excuses for when Hopkins takes Sergey to boxing school. Calling him a "dirty fighter" will be what they will scream from the mountaintops when Hopkins embarrasses him. Kovalev couldn't outbox Hopkins in a million years, and if he goes in desperate for a KO he's getting countered to death. Basically, there's no way kovalev wins this, Hopkins is a better fighter on every imaginable level. I expect a wipeout, a clinic , a landslide schooling , then I expect all the kovalev bandwagoners to jump off and call him "overhyped" or "too green" to keep hating on B Hop.

No, He's not.. He barely squeaked by Hopkins and then beat an old jones .. The other good wins are overrated Jeff lacy and Kessler ... That's not a HOF career by any means.

People are calling Hopkins a dirty fighter BEFORE the fight. If he fights dirty (again) people will call him out on it. Sorry if that doesn't seem reasonable to you.
