    Hopkins knows every trick in the book. I'm 99% certain he'll cut Sergey with a head butt, like he did to Dawson and Cloud. Dawson had a big gash, but managed to survive the distance.

    The ref Steve Smoger helped B-Hop against Murat, and whether it's his pal Smoger or someone else, the ref will be on his side. It may go to the cards because of a bad cut on Kovalev after an "accidental" head butt.

    Hopkins will use head games more than usual this time - for example, he'll complain about Kovalev's gloves just before the fight.

    Hopkins has never lost a one-sided fight. I'm sure he won't get stopped, although he may get outworked. And unless it's domination, Hopkins will receive the win on the cards.

    I'm rooting for Kovalev, but I'm predicting a close decision win for Hopkins.

    Kovalev can beat any man born of woman.

    But Hopkins is not a man. He's an alien from the Epsilon Eridani star system.

    Kinda torn. Mainly I want to see a good fight, but if I'm rooting for one of them it'd be Kovalev. OTOH Bhops is a living legend and a victory over Kovalev at his age would be something special - if he can pull it off I would, once more, be in awe.

    I've got lots of respect for Hopkins. He's 50 years old and still being the World Champion. His last couple of fights were boring, but it always surprises me how Hopkins can 'kill' a fights and turn it his way.
    Kovalev's fights are exciting to watch, he's very entertaining.

    From a boxing fan side of view, I hope that Kovalev wins, because he is the future, but if Hopkins wins I'm OK with it. If you're 50 years and you can still defeat the top dog, you're a boxing god.

    I'll be rooting for Hopkins to pull off another remarkable win against the odds.

    But if Kovalev wins I won't be unhappy. I'm a Kovalev fan as well.
