Hopkins v kovalev

[aria]

What are you guys saying about the fight tonight?
Kovalev knows he's got to keep the pace fast, he's so heavy handed though, he will hurt Hopkins right away and change the way he fights.

Hard to ever bet against BHop...he is saavy enough to know EXACTLY how to hold and fight the smart fight. I think that's what he'll do to Kovalev. Just never let him get set, and get any punches off. I just think Kovalev is just good enough to fight through it though. Dangerous fight for Hopkins, and one I think he'll lose.

I'm a Hopkins fan...but his fights have been HORRIBLE to watch as of late. I'll watch this one though, as I think it'll be one of his last (because even if he loses he'll be back).

Good pressure by Kovalev in Rd.1. Did knock Hopkins down...wasn't a hurt, but was legitamite.

[Culley22]

Hopkins is done. He just hasn't gotten the message yet...but it's coming. Hopkins looks his age finally. He can't take these punches. He's done. He'll lose decisively! Maybe by vicious KO.

Hopkins needs to retire. His age has finally caught up to him. Kovalev dominated the fight. The whole Alien thing is annoying as well.

[Culley22]

He clowned around in the last round, but I think he was seriously hurt and in danger. He NEVER fired back and took a lot of clean shots. He didn't go down, but he wasn't "there" in that final minute and a half. I think he should retire too. But we all know he won't.
