Soon be time for Prof Hopkins to school another young upstart. Kovolev about to be taken to the woodshed for a good old fashioned ass whuppin
Kovalev definitely has youth and power on his side. But I'm not sure he has the footwork, smarts, or hand speed. It will take a combination of those 3 things to set up his power shots. And I also question how effective Kovalev will be if drawn into the later portions of a fight. We'll see, indeed. But the key to this fight is distance and footwork. Whoever uses his feet better to obtain favorable position most often wins. If Kovalev wins that battle, then he may very well stop the old man. But I like Hopkins in this one, and I think feet and positioning will primarily be what wins him this fight. :smoke
