Hopkins - Kovalev Alien/Krusher HBO/Box Nation thread

[east end bob]

anybody who thinks froch would get stopped doesnt know anything about boxing...B hop tonight didnt get stopped .. why the fuck would froch get stopped...when has froch been hurt ever apart from understaming the ginger chelsea rent boy groves? and he still got up and beat him !!! yeah JT knocked him down years ago but he got KTFO after that

Froch has been hurt plenty of times, against Kessler, Pascal, Taylor, Ward, Dirrell, just off the top of my head. Maybe not badly, but he feels shots, and relies on being able to stand up to them. I think Kovalev has a different kind of power than any of those guys. I'm not even saying Froch would get stopped, but I don't think that's a foolish prediction given that he's never fought at 175 either and is getting up there. Most guys aren't Hopkins, Froch has been in some wars and has always been a big super middle, there is no reason to think he can beat Kovalev.

its a boxing fight you will get punched...if he was hurt he would have got KTFO or lost ?? he might have got hit but not hurt !!! we wont know anyway cos he wont move up to see if he could...but he should !!!

on a side note i am gutted B hop just got outboxed and battered

Carl is a great crowd pleasing fighter. I love watching his fights. But Kovalev? I don't think so. Leave him well alone Carl.
