After Loss To Hopkins will Kovalev become better boxer?

Where is your buddy, Rumsfeld:smoke?
That was one ass-kicking
He can take a great punch and I hope he's ok
he needs to hang them up- he may have some brain damage

 

What path will SweetSciMORON take now that he once again has proven he is a complete idiot?

 

Remind us again how grj was going to take lomachenko apart...get off the forum you racist *****.

 

The path to glory is the one that Kovelev choose.

 

:rofl
I doubt the will. He is a lost cause.

 

He definitely learned a lot from the old man that's for sure but he wasn't going to lose. I was pulling for Nard but in my heart I knew he was pushing the envelope.

 

Damn the thread creator seems ******ed.
Oh well. Maybe he will learn to be less stupid with these threads.

 

Another chump embarrassing himself with ridiculous thread.

 

Looks like you're buying-get a double for Hop

:smoke

 

Ha! Ha!

You're racism made you stupid again! :rofl

 

Hows the crow taste?

 

That's the 2nd time in a row you've been wrong.

 

bump....Where u at SweetSci???? Whats up?

 

There’s a lot to be said for how Kovalev confounds the technique-power dichotomy that seems apparent in how we view lots of fighters. Kovalev gets lots of stoppages, but as this fight demonstrates, it was obviously more than hasty to assume that it was his power alone that was responsible for those. Likewise, while I’m the first to lament the general lack of educated pressure in boxing today, that does not mean that anyone who applies pressure is simply not technical in their application of it.

Now I don’t think everyone who picked Hopkins ran afoul of this, as Hopkins’ own greatness and resume could justify favoring him in this fight. At the same time, portraying Kovalev as a crude boxer who relied on his power never made as much sense to me. Cloud-Campillo was a crude brawler against a slick brawler; Kovalev-Campillo was not, and the difference in the two fights was not simply Cloud possessing less power or Campillo being worse against Kovalev. Kovalev’s power made it easier for him to win fights quickly, but it was never the only tool in his possession, and indeed its overwhelming effectiveness up to this point was a result of his other capabilities, which were clearly on display tonight.

 

Hopkins was lucky to make it outta that 12th round
