    Don't lie.

    I've never said Hopkins wouldn't fight Kovalev.

    I've said from the beginning Hopkins would be an extremely difficult opponent for Kovalev, because he's extremely crafty and knows how to use every dirty trick imaginable, and because the home officials will do all in their power to help Hopkins.

    Look I don't want to start digging your post history. As other posters on this thread have confirmed you did claim that Hopkins will duck Kovalev.

    Youre' changing the tune of your voice now that the fight is fast approaching.

    I'm just happy that the fight's going ahead, but yeah, I won't be surprised if Kovalev ends up getting cut from butts - he got cut against both Cleverly and Agnew and Hopkins won't have missed that.

    Thing is, however things go down the stretch, I firmly expect Kovalev to win the early rounds on workrate alone, so an early stoppage on an accidental butt is unlikely to benefit Hopkins - though cuts may serve to worry and frustrate Kovalev and throw him off his game.
