Enjoyed that. Good balanced breakdown.
Hopkins will make history by becoming the first fighter with 3 aliases
3. Alien 2. Exectuioner and when he beat Jouvin Mercado @ SMW- on a four hour notice he was called the (terror).
Good article - so many Hopkins v Kov threads which one to sticky?
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Here we go Hopkins! Here we go!
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
thing I think helps him is he's at the point of his career that he can't really lose, even if he loses Hopkins is almost 50, so it's a win win regardless, so he doesn't have that extra pressure on him that the younger guys do, making him more confident in the ring, add in his experience and craftiness and that's what makes B-Hop a bad ass
People say Cleverly would have won if he had boxed against Kovalev.
TBH, I don't think it would have made much of a difference, since Kovalev is so good at cutting off the ring.
What people don't realize is that Cleverly WAS boxing him in the early parts of Round 1, working behind the jab. It's just that Kovalev, for the most part, was winning then too. The punch stats in Round 1 showed that Kovalev was outlanding Cleverly
