Hoppie came to last not engage and dance away for 12 rounds. Heck Hoppie could fight till he was 80 with that elusive style of not fighting. Hop plays fans a fools anyway especially the dimwits that buy into Hop BS. Hop has lost every big fight in his career.
He lost each time someone was close to his size and had some talent.
Hopkins is usually this humble AFTER a win, especially when he has disrespected his opponents many times before their bouts. This made his humility disingenuous and I was always critical of that. B-HOP has NEVER been this humble after a loss. He has never been the humble loser....until now. Time for him to retire.
Kovalev took his heart/soul hence retirement thoughts. The professor was schooled by the student. Step back, counter right hand over the jab. Lol!
Patience, distance, step back, were keys to victory.
BHop miscalculated thinking he was another one-dimensional victim.
Kovalev did what Chad did to the old Hop just manhandled the slow Hoppy and beat the crap out of the average old Hop. Hop has hand pick most of his opponents who he knows he could beat. Pascal-Cloud-Pavlik-Shumonov. Dawson embarrassed Hoppy and Kovalev did also. Hoppy is a good fighter but by no means great. Bitterness and hate fuel Hop but running for 12 rounds ain't fighting. Retire
Hopkins fooled a lot of people, huh. He should thank Roy Jones Jr. for moving up in weight and lending him the IBF Middleweight title.
