    I couldn't believe when they announced it on TV that the Hopkins camp had objected to Kovalev punching the wall to "harden his gloves"... I was like: "no way...he don't need to do all that, he's a puncher...and he's working with an 18 year advantage."

    But then they actually showed Kovalev doing knuckle push-ups on his gloves...then punching his gloves together to make them harder...I'm thinking "this is one fked up mfker...he has NO confidence in his punching power that he has to do ALL THAT to fight a 49 year old man." Right there, I lost respect for Kovalev...what a complete dirtbag.

    Right away, it reminded me of the Tito fight when hopkins and his camp had made tito's dad re-do his wraps because tito was trying to cheat.

    Dude, you have an 18 year advantage... at LEAST a 6 lb advantage if you believe HBO ( I think Kovalev was a lot more than that)...and you're the puncher. and you STILL have to doctor your gloves to fight this guy?

    But as we saw, he wasn't able to put hopkins away despite landing a lotta clean punches that have KO'd other guys...so maybe he has a point. Maybe punching the wall before the fight so he can harden his gloves is the only way he can generate his vaunted punching power.


    Now we know where Kovalev gets his so-called power from... I hope every one of his future opponents were watching this and will do the exact same thing when they fight him.

    Hopkins is so terrible, he couldnt beat a white plodding european stiff bum like kovalev. u saw floyd giving away 15-20lbs to canelo and maidana and he still did the job. Hopkins is crap!

    I guess then that Kovalev must be an amazing boxer then considering he totally schooled Hopkins with out needing to make the most of his much vaunted power...

    LOL I don't see how that's legal. That's just a different way of breaking the glove in. Hitting the pads, banging the gloves together all do the same damn thing. Bhop was just being paranoid.

    ROFLMAO you clown Floyd got his punk ass kicked by Maidana when they had an honest referee Tony Weekes. So Punky hired Kenny Bayless to do the protectors job a la Joe Cortez. The tag team won

    Kovalev is one of the most insecure guys around...if i was him, 18 years younger, significantly bigger and heavier and known as a big puncher the LAST thing on my mind would have been to make my gloves hard like concrete...wtf? you gotta really make your gloves knuckle-hard for an old man, huh? I mean, dude is all over the deck doing knuckle push ups, punching the hell out of his gloves for at least a good half hour to make sure they're good and hard. and after all that he STILL couldn't do any real damage to hops except for a flash kd in the first round. This dude is one of the most overrated frauds in the sport. I know pascal and stevenson are just licking their chops at the thought of beating the **** outta him.

    No one is insecure as your racist ass you twat. Hopkins is shite and he was beaten by a better man, a man you will never know how to be mr welfare. Your a little spastic.
