Comments Thread For: Kovalev Dominates Hopkins, Unifies WBA/WBO/IBF Belts

[FightingWords]

Absolutely nothing but respect for Hopkins for taking this fight.




I told you guys he had absolutely no chance against Kovalev. I said once Hopkins feels KOvalevs power (like everyone else) he's simply going to survive.... and that's exactly what happened.

Great post! Finally a fair and mature comment. It's good to see that there's still people that give respect to both fighters. Especially a legend like Hopkins.. Good on you sir..

I said it here that people from the U.S.A. have absolutely no clue about the "Russian school of boxing".

I've seen guys criticized for beating top P4P fighters that were in their late 30s on this site. Mostly by the same b1tches that are acting like this dude just beat a primed Michael Spinks, by beating a 50yr old. Gotta love boxingscene.

hhaahahahahahahahahah

Admirable finish from Hopkins. Not a bad way to go out! I got a sense of pride from it all, I could hang onto that as Bhop final ring memory.

Nice systematic, patient performance from Sergei.

I felt Hop was wrong about Kovalev from the beginning, especially in the athleticism department.

I think this fight showed how quick to recover Kov is..even at 49, B-Hop is still angular as hell but one of Sergei's qualities is that he is always balanced and in position to get full power; and even with long arms, his punches are some of the shortest in the game


Respects to both

I wouldn't be surprised if Hopkins fought for another world title against Adonis Stevenson.
A Kovalev-Stevenson fight is very hard fight to make and they both fight for 2 different networks where as Hopkins is not pinned down to neither HBO or Showtime.

Impressive win by Kovalev. Nobody's beating him anytime soon. He will be champ for a long time. Impressive chin by Hopkins, he lost, but that was inspirational.

Disgusting from the ref letting 'nard take shots like that, that late in the fight from someone who's killed someone in the ring

Oh great, here we go with another one.

This isn't the equivalent of Flag football. He got roughed up a bit and used his defense and survived the onslaught unlike others who end up on the floor.

Man up and stop playing a Boxer's white knight.

Haven't seen the fight yet but gee, what a surprising result!

Hopkins should have just signed out. At 49 years of age trying to take on a champion slugger like Kovalev was brave.

But also idiocy!

I'm surprised it went the distance. I would of thought Kovalev could have ****** him out in the first half of the fight.

I scored it 7 rounds to 5 for Kovalev, but obviously a 10-8 round in the first.

I definitely thought Hopkins controlled about 4 or 5 of the rounds with his distance and making Kovalev miss. If Hopkins was a little more active then i'd have no problem scoring the fight either way.
