Kovalev is the truth.


B-HoP I love you, you are a legend, but hang them up and walk out with your head held high.What a chin!!!

Kovalev, a monster, too bad we can't see him fight Maidana with a catchweight.

i thought you like chino, man, why you wanna get him killed?

now that you mention chino, when he fought floyd the first time it was floyd's choice to stay on the ropes, but in this fight it wasn't kovalev's choice to outbox hopkins? nah, he couldn't put a 50 years old out.

KOvalev punches like a mule, but he can also box very well.

great fight.

mad respect for hopkins, that last round was epic

[Bigg Rigg]

All I'm seeing is he's 50 though. Thought he was gonna school him???

[ИATAS]

Jesus, can't believe Hopkins survived that. 49 years old he should be dead.

Kovalev fought smart, obviously way more power, too much for Bhop to handle. But God damn it props to Hopkins for having the balls to even step in the ring with him and attempt something truly great. Unlike guys like Stevenson, and the Peter Quillin's of the world.

I think Kovalev gained a ton of experience, it's a real good victory for him.

[turnedup]

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.

Go to bed son...your drinks are messing with your judgement..Hopkins didn't come close to winning a single round..not even close

What????????

[cupocity303]

kovalev proved in the 12th that he could have stopped hopkins any time but he chose to outbox the supposedly master boxer.

amazing!!!

Maybe you should listen to Kovalev himself who acknowledged Hopkins defensive skills.

Just because he tried to finish him in the 12th (a traditional move since you don't have to worry about gassing out in the later rounds anymore) doesn't mean that he could have bum rushed him whenever he wanted to.

Kovalev is the man at 175 not Adonis.

[MPX309]

good win for kova, i really underestimated his skills, but is it safe to say that maybe his ko power is a little over rated now???/ i mean be hop got hit with big shots and walked away like he was never in a fight....just saying 270 people picked kova by ko in the master thread poll..

His poweer is not really overated, B Hop knows how to protect his chin, and take the flush impact off punches, Kov still hits like a front end loader

This guy is suppose to be the truth and he could'nt take the old man out. Ward makes this european hype job look. Like a complete amateur.

Ha. I knew it.... Funny thing is- he's not trolling

Easy work Kovalev. Hopkins has no chance. There's a reason his team ducked Kovalev last June.



Expect plenty of "prime Hopkins embarrasses Kovalev!!"

Kovalev purposely decided to box and not go for the KO.

And who's Ward?

kovalev was'nt boxing. He was going for the KO while swinging wild like a amateur.. You know exactly who is Andre Ward. Or does his skill really heart breaks your jealous ass.
