Is this a first for Hopkins having a 24/7?
I can't recall seeing one. Kovalevs wife is a babe :cool:Quote:

I think this will come down to whether Kovalev's power is that special and whether John David Jackson can neutralize Hopkins' strengths. Kovalev has been knocking guys out left and right with not even fully extended punches. If his power is truly that incredible, Hopkins might wilt. I doubt it though. I'm going with BHOP.Quote:

Has b hop ever been put down?

No drug testing before this Hopkins fight. Seems to be the norm for him...
Just watched it. I can't help but like kovalev. I think that he is the real deal and think that this is the end of bhop. Kovalev is such a beast. Bhop will only be able to take his punches so many times even if they aren't landing cleanly.
Watched it Saturday and have to say I have a new appreciation for Hopkins state of preparation for fights. The whole alien thing is as numb as it gets but at this stage he can come in wearing a bonnet and Wood clogs and you'd be a fool not to take him serious. Likewise I don't think Kovalev is in awe or whistling past the graveyard in false confidence like many of Hopkins opponents have.
I think that's going to be a big factor. Kovalev doesn't seem overconfident. He knows what he needs to do to win.Quote:
