Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Expects Hopkins to Distract, Frustrate Kovalev

[jas]

The headbutts hopkins will be deliver to kovalev will be some of the greatest headbutts seen in the ring of all time. these headbutts will cut kovalev multiple times and proceed to watch a right hand clinic leading to a stoppage.

I read and hear everybody says kovalev is the much bigger guy, guys from hbo, trainers and people on this forum. Why?
Hopkins is slightly taller with longer reach

he is bigger, bernard's natural weight/walking around weight is lower than kovalevs.

Hopkins solidifies his ATG status tomorrow night

It's been solidified. Anything now is just icing on the cake.

Really hope Hopkins pulls this off...I have my doubts though. Kovalev is a beast.

?Hopkins are taller and have longer reach, his dam head is bigger.
how do you know kovalevs walking around weight?
By your logic manuel charr is bigger than wladimir klitschko because wladimirs "walking around weight" is lower then charrs

Because kova looked dehydrated at final presser and Hopkins weighed in 172.5 pounds last couple fights, lower than what kova did

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.

i like those closeups of hopkins face when he fakes
like he's crying from pain and imaginary fouling.

Hopkins is amazing ,he has some gonads fighting Kovalev its a even bigger task than Ali with Foreman
