Did a whole rbr thread on this last night ;D. He really dropped the hammer on him.
Sorry my man. I didn't get a chance to watch the fight until today. What did you think of Kovalev? Big future?Quote:

Very solid arsenal of combo punching and doesn't fall in love with one but resets and stays focused. Hell of a finisher. Called out Hopkins lastnight "because I want to touch him in the ring" ;D Have to love that.Quote:

I'd like to see Hopkins-Kovalev...but I doubt it happens :-\ Kovalev is one of those high risk, low reward type of fighters.
On a side note, Sergey's old amateur rival Matvey Korbov fought on the Garcia-Lopez undercard, stopping the very durable Ossie Duran in 3.

IBF Ordered Hopkins to fight Kovalev if he wants to keep his belt. I wonder if he'll do it.
Just caught his response...he accepts it and "looks forward to it".Quote:

I read Kovalev-Cleverly is close. I think that's a great match-up too.
Solid yeh, winner vs Hopkins maybe? If Cleverly I can see Hopkins traveling for it. But Not sold on Cleverly, not even in supposed second coming of Calzaghe. Defense too leaky and not exactly pitching bricks demanding respect against Kovalev. Hope they happen!Quote:
