I was wrong about Kovalev stopping the old man but I never saw the one dimensional Kovalev that Hop talked about either. Respect to them both. That was a text book example of designing a creative game plan and then sticking to it religiously. Nice to see Hopkins and Kovalev showing respect to each other after the final bell. I would not have been surprised to see the ref jump in and stop it in the final round if that were any other fighter.
I wanted the post fight interview, and I have to say Hopkins really earned my respect for what he said. It was a pure display of class.
