Dude is going to shock you.
I think Hopkins might last more than a round before getting KTFO
i remember being as convinced pavlik would knock him out
No chance.
No way, either way.
It is a 12 rounder no doubt.
I'm tipping B-Hop to win as Kovalev isn't fast enough to trouble him. Sure he has power but Hopkins has seen it all before, I don't see just power troubling him.
THE ALIEN WILL ATOMIZE HIM IN 2 Minutes 45 seconds of the opening round.Quote:

I see you've already traded punches with Golovkin eh ;D
Datz a bold decision...I also think Hopkinz got diz 1 to shock every1, Hopkinz late stoppage!
Hopkins is not stopping anyone.Quote:

Looking for Hop to come out and literally not stop moving for the first two rounds. He will not let Kov set his feet to punch and will use feints to break up Kovs rhythm. If Hop can pop the jab effectively this will only make him more comfortable and likely have him fight at a decent pace. Once he gets Kov thinking and gets his body/mind used to Kovs power, Hop will gradually increase his tricks/mind games and the pace of the fight. I look for Hop to get into top gear and really put his foot on the gas around the 9th round. If he feels or senses that Kov still has that big shot in him he will ease off and wait to close the show strong. If he feels Kov is wilting at all he will keep his foot on the gas to make a statement. One last thing: I look for Kov to suffer a knockdown similar to Tarver vs Hop n Kov in his last fight. Overconfident as the Krusher n walk into a big right that stuns him.
...or maybe Kovalev will kill his 2nd boxer in the ring.
Didn't you say somthing similar about maidana stopping floyd lolQuote:

I believe Krusher when he says he is prepared to get dirty.
When Hop fought Kelly---Pavlik's corner told him to hit low- and mid rounds Kelly threw a 'respectfully' soft blow to the family jewels- but that was it. Pavlik is a clean fighter.
If this gets dirty, then it has the makings of Hop-Echols II. That was a fun-foul fest.
Rabbit punches, elbows, low blows, body slams...
Side note: if Hopkins wants to claim to have ended a carreer- I think Echols was never the same after those two fights. He was a solid puncher & decent brawler.
Both fights IMO were competitive; alot of punches, but the 2nd one was a prison fight without the shenk.
If that occurs, the 3rd man will be seen & heard way more than we want.
Hop vs Kovalev Double-DQ;D
I suppose if Kov destroys Hopkins Hopkins was just shot and Kov picking easy fights instead of fighting the main man Stevenson?Quote:

The greys can't get hit with shots.
