    -"Hopkins would have made more money fighting Stevenson by accepting our proposed offer than fighting Kovalev"

    -"Kovalev will earn a lot less than Hopkins for this fight"

    -"It's a bit difficult to understand"

    http://www.journaldequebec.com/2014/08/01/kovalev-hopkins-cest-fait




    ...which gives us Stevenson-Pascal as a possible fight for Sep 27th as a main event to Cloud-Beterbiev. :good

    Strange. Given your username I figured you were backing Hopkins.

    Some idiot was on here earlier claiming that Hopkins had no choice but to take this fight... Basically saying because he needs the payday. :verysad

    I saw that. It's unbelievable! Hopkins makes a total bad-ass arrangement to face his toughest possible opponent currently available, and people downplay the move. A lot of boxing fans are morons of the highest order.

    Apparently Hopkins schools him with an easy UD :nono
    No if im being honest on my assesment for this fight, hopkins wins the first 3-5 by smarts and countering smart.

    But from then on in, Kovalev really does show his youth power and size, and lets not forget pretty good skills, distancing and all. And i expect Sergey KRUSHER Kovalev to get the UD or tko in the 10-11th round. :good

    The idea that Bernard really needs the money is laughable as well. The mother****er still has the first nickel he ever earned. :yep

    I always root for my man BHop, but this could shape up to be a really tough fight for him. I can't wait. :happy

    BHop, Kovalev, Stevenson, Pascal, Beterbiev, comebacking Campillo, comebacking Dawson, possibly Dirrell who was 172 tonight.

    LHW is looking pretty good.

    Yep. Even if he loses, it could happen (remember the Danny Green fiasco with Roy).

    And on that note, how funny would it be if Kovalev gets stopped in 1 tomorrow, totally derailing this unexpected exciting news of a signing?

    :lol:

    And once again Hopkins defies the people who call him a coward. :D

    Will be a heck of a fight and i am damn sure that Kovalev will hurt Hopkins just like Pascal did.
