Yes he goes down in the fight, twice and before that was 1994 according to the commentary. It wasn't a heavy knockdown it was behind the head the shot that landed for the first

[ruthless rocco]

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.

Hopkins-Kovalev: The John David Jackson Factor - Boxing News

[Spicoli]

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.
