    Well catching him enough to stop him is a going to be the tricky part, hopkins has recupartive alien powers, and tricks to save him. but long right hands will land to the body of the alien. you cant get out of the way of them so easy.

    If he's paid off the ref he might

    Think Froch Groves 1 but stopped on a partially landed jab

    I would not be surprised if Hopkins took Kovalev late into deep waters and outhustled him wearing him down for a late stoppage. I would also not be surprised if Hopkins won TKO from cuts, or even if he sparked Kovalev out of there fairly early.

    Kovalev is powerful, but he is still largely untested. And I think Hopkins has the outstanding footwork, ring IQ, and necessary hand speed and stamina to pull this off, one way or another.

    thats all well and dandy you saying that but bernard hasnt stopped a man in 10years and that was a blown up WW and it was a 1shot ko. The alien hasnt got the aggression and punch output to sustain a beating on anyone.

    Hopkins hasn't had a stoppage win since 2004.

    He ain't stopping **** but he will probably headbutt Kovalev then fake a low blow.

    This fight isn't going past 8 rounds unless Hopkins does quite a bit of running.

    So you think the unproven Kovalev gasses before it gets that far? The old man does have a way of tiring out guys far younger than him, so it wouldn't shock me.

    Kovalov's thin skin could carry this fight for Hopkins

    The cuts idea is viable--he does cut--and if this goes further he has problems
