Hopkins v. Kovalev in Atlantic City if Kovalev Wins this Weekend

[Master]

You are wrong, Hopkins will enhance his legacy if he fights a young, strong unbeaten fighter. No point wasting time for B Hop. No one wants to watch him fight mediocre fighters they want to see him fight dangerous, edge of you seats, fights.

And Kov will be getting the biggest payday of his career so far. Makes sense for both in my opinion.

Hopkins explains that he called Haymon's bluff by stepping up to face Kovalev. Pretty interesting piece. I guess I didn't know that Hopkins took Oscar's side in the Schaefer - Golden Boy feud.

hopkins also has 2 major belts at light heavyweight, kovalev would be mad not to take this fight.. If he beats hopkins he would have 3 major belts for a short time at least, he'd be able to make some great money off of that.

I really do think Kovalev is in danger of getting away from what got him to the dance, this whole new emphasis on crushing power and needing kos. They are making him sound like a wrestler when he is a very smart boxer and sets up his power very well.

He let himself walk in, hands down cocky and Caparello set a trap in corner and dropped him clean in the 1st round. That had Bernard Hopkins written all over.

I see BHop folding up into a punching bag all night except to stick out his tongue 6 or 8 times. Kov surprises everybody by going the distance and wins by decision. I think he's too smart to fall for BHop tricks and doesn't waste energy trying to knock him out.

Hopkins owes Oscar. Oscar knew Hopkins had been frustrated his whole career by promoters and bullshit politics. When he brought him into Golden Boy he let Hopkins call his own shots. Something Bernard always wanted to do but couldn't. If Hopkins wouldn't of joined Golden Boy he wouldn't be fighting today. The bullshit politics would of made him leave the sport a long time ago
