Hopkins: Kovalev ducked me for Cleverly

I thinkyou should do some research. Hopkins, whatever his inherent ability, is human. And human lungs past 35 fade, theres no turning them back to 25 or even 30 year old lungs again.

But fights still last 12 rounds.Game Set Match KO4Clev - eventually he will get to Bernado. Bernard is only happy fighting those who wont stretch his pace today.

 

Don't try to save face ***ot. I just bitched slapped you for your poor attempt at trolling.

 

You by your side should understand that Hopkins controls the fights mentally and then physically by having full control of the pace and subtly alter the tempo whenever he's willing to break his opponent's will. Just another very committed fighter can charge in justlikethat and break Bernard specially cause the old man is exceptionally sound technically and defensively and knows how to slow you down right from the get go. Even volume puncher Joe Calzaghe reduced his punch output dramatically early and won the fight based on stamina and experience at the end stretch. Bernard is a long distance runner and will never gas out.

 

"MUH LEGEND!":rofl
Pick up a book before they kick you out of the library, Shawntarius.
You need to practice your words, so you can go back and read the article I linked for you(because you're too dumb to use a search engine:hey).

BHop has a fight this weekend that no one cares about and he's playing the name game to generate some press.

So while Hopkins is in, if that is the direction Kovalev pursues, it gets a little complicated because HBO won’t do business with Golden Boy, his promoter. Though Showtime was ready to televise Hopkins against then-mandatory Karo Murat on July 13 -- before Murat dropped out because of an inability to get a visa -- the network, from what Hopkins said, is not interested in putting him on against Kovalev.

Go figure, because Hopkins-Kovalev is a much, much more interesting fight than Hopkins-Murat ever was.

“[Kovalev] is a good puncher and some people are excited about him,” Hopkins said. “He’s a better quality name than Karo Murat is.”

The reason for Showtime’s possible reluctance to put on Hopkins-Kovalev is because it is not heavily invested in the division and doesn’t have any future rights on Kovalev, so it wouldn’t want to build him up only to see him beat Hopkins and then go to HBO, which is doing a ton of business at light heavyweight and super middleweight.

So while Hopkins waits to see what will happen, he made a suggestion -- that Kovalev go fight Cleverly, and he would be happy to face new champ Adonis Stevenson, who drilled Chad Dawson in the first round June 8 to win the lineal title Hopkins used to hold (as well as an alphabet belt Hopkins used to own before losing to Dawson). Stevenson said he was interested in fighting Hopkins after beating Dawson.

“For me, it’s a no-brainer,” the 48-year-old Hopkins said. “Kovalev can go get Cleverly, I can probably get Adonis and we go head-to-head and give the fans the old light heavyweight battles they had in the late '70 and '80s, and then the winners can fight. It doesn’t seem complicated. OK, maybe I’m being a little sarcastic.”

 

See thread title. Then see this ESPN article linked above. Hopkins is trolling

 

You know you're not very smart. First of all you're the one that claimed Nard docked kovalev, that means the obligation to produce evidence was on you to support that claim not me stupid. If you were as intelligent as you claim to be you would have known that.

Secondly, the article you cited supported what I've said all along, which is that Kovalev was the one that docked Hopkins. Don't try to play smart with dummy.atsch
