    He humiliated hiim and probably gave his doctor something to think about with that last round.

    Kovalev didn't school Hopkins. He just served notice on his ass that he was too old and it's time to go. His skills didn't beat Hopkins, his energy did.

    No he didn't. Hopkins looked smoother, better balance, better skills. Kovalev fought like Frankenstein. He was just too young and too strong for 49 yr old Bhop.

    I said it for weeks. Hopkins is not going to take Kovalev to school. If anything there's a new dean at 175, and his name is not Hopkins.

    Total mis-match. Credit Hopkins for having the legs and durability to surivive, but we know once he felt Kovalev's power, he was thinking how not to get knocked out.

    Hopkings did look terribly battered fighting the frankensteinian monster Kovalev true.

    Best thing that happened for Kovalev in that fight, it changed B-Hop's mindset.
