Comments Thread For: Photos: Hopkins, Kovalev Final Face To Face at Presser

[damned1974]

Aducknis has looked worse as a pro though, has a worse chin and stamina. Both have the style to crack each other, but Kovalev would be the favorite, which is why Aducknis flew home.

I agree with you on some points. Adonis knows the risk. ..but we do not know what kovalevs chin or stamina is like either....at least Sergey is willing to test it.

U can see that sergey likes Bernard.. I'm sure he's a fan of him.

Abbos Atoev

That guy beat Beterbiev in the amateurs.

Beterbiev didn't KO Kovalev, beat but not KO. Anyway there is no shame in that either.... Beterbiev is great too and is gonna be a fantastic pro.

Either way... the amateurs are the amateurs

Every fighter has lost at least once in the amateurs.

I just checked Atoev out at Wikipedia. They have his record in the major tournaments there. He KO'd Kovalev in the first round and was KO'd in the first himself, by a Jap in the world amateur championship. He beat Beterbiev once and lost to him twice, all on points.

The first pic is hilarious. Kov is smiling at Hopkins and Hopkins Looks like he thinks: "You dont fool me with your smiling, im sure in the ring you will try to smash me with your dangerous punching power but i guess i know how to handle that"
But can he really handle that? Tomorrow we will see.

If Hopkins wins he gets full credit from me.


If Hopkins wins he is a top 10 ATG across any division and the single best LHW ever.

That is ridiculous. It would be a fantastic win, but it by no way puts Bhop as the best LHW. pffft. He won't be as good as Archie Moore, Ezzard Charles, and Michael Spinks. Remember, we're talking about Bhop's run at LHW here, not his entire career.
