That's because the fight only lasted TWO rounds. Fact remains, your hero with all of his alleged defense got DROPPED by a TOMATO KAN.
But there is a difference. Hopkins' skills are well beyond that of a TOMATO KAN. Kolalev, OTOH, wouldn't even qualify to be on Joe Louis' Bum...
Was his "underrated defense" on display when he pulled straight back from that TOMATO KAN right before getting knocked down in his last fight?...
Well, Vitali got KO'd twice - while in his prime - so my point still stands. Holmes > either Klitschko
There is nothing impressive about knocking over TOMATO KANs...
Kovalev's only real advantages in this fight are in punching power and age. Everything else is either an advantage for the Ole Man, a question...
If Pavlik were a natural light heavyweight then I'd pick him over Kovalev in a heartbeat...
That's a stupid question. We've only seen Pavlik @ LHW once and that was against Hopkins @ a catchweight. I think the question just goes to...
Holmes never got knocked out THREE times during his prime while fighting in that "weak" era...
At 160? Yes.
Triangle theories don't work in boxing BUT styles make fights. Stylistically, the Ole Man is ALL wrong for the TOMATO KAN Krusher...
I got 500 in vCash on the Ole Man. What you wanna do?
You think Hopkins is going to trade with Kovalev? LOL... The ole man is going to set traps for the TOMATO KAN Krusher, make him miss then...
The point is Hopkins has already beaten guys who are more accomplished than Kovalev...
Kovalev isn't an elite fighter...
