Both Hopkins and Kovalev are taking pay cuts to fight each other. LOVE IT!!!!!

I was thinking the same thing. I think it's bad luck to line up another fight when you already have one coming up. Ortiz-Lopez, Judah-Baldomir and Trinidad-Hopkins come to mind as well.

 

Damn BHop just made me eat my words.

Props to him.

 

You're not alone. Up until today I saw post after post claiming that there's no way Hopkins would fight this guy. I told you ****ers Hopkins don't duck. :good

 

****er had to quote me before i got my edit in eh?

And i never disrespected Hopkins, i just thought he'd avoid krusher due to how dangerous he was and would pursue super pimp since it's a more lucrative fight.

 

man what a fight.. b hop a boss idc who pulls it off its to hard to pick.

i can see alot happening.

 

Oh, no doubt.

 

Huge props for both fighters for making this happen, and for Hopkins in particular. Wow!!

And also, I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel a tinge of smug satisfaction that things shook out like this for Stevenson.

 

Workrate is BHops Achilles heel, set a pace and throw many murderous punches, don't let the old man breath for a second.

 

I'm waiting for the mind games bhop gonna pull.

 

Let him. Kovalev has an iron psyche.

 

Yea for sure. Kovalev's a real killer.... that was a bad joke but can you imagine if he wins and fights Adonis the fight should be billed as the Killer vs the Super Pimp.

 

This what separates ATG boxing immortals from skilled fighters with good marketing.

 

This is great news for boxing. I applaud both men.

 

Hopkins is one of the biggest G's in boxing's history which is full of G's
