I was gonna say the same thing. Darn it, why did De la hoya have to open his mouth

Also expect him to excessively clinch, head butt, lead in with his head, act like he is hurt, try to pull out of the fight, try to get Kovalev DQd...

This dirty sissy will try all of his tricks.

I think he will quit in his corner and blame a shoulder or something. He ain't really an old school fighter like he claims he is.

Probably.

If Bernard can't fight within the rules of boxing, he shouldn't be fighting any more.

There is certainly a part of me that says I hear ya Oscar and have seen it

but

Kovalev is a different fighter than the past dudes.

Kovalev has a lazer right hand , straight, fast, and LONG, he is not in there smothering his shots.

No amount of talk will convince anyone , so the TRUTH will come from the RING !

That's how you expect the fight to go?

Sissy?

So you're saying there's no way Hopkins wins this fight without doing all that sht you said?

No chance Hopkins simply outclasses Kovalev?

No chance Hop gives this chump a fcking complete boxing lesson?!

Hopkins solidifies his ATG status tomorrow night
