Am I the only one semi-confident in picking Kovalev but also feels that it will go the full 12...? Wouldn't be surprised by Kovalev stopping him. I would be mildly surprised if Hopkins manages to pull this one off. I usually hesitate to jump on board a fighter who has only beaten two top 10 fighters (Cleverly, Campillo), but Kovalev has some skills to go along with his brute power. I think it's a bad matchup for Hopkins, but I've been wrong about him several times before. I see Hopkins shelling up too much and not countering with enough volume when he moves out to be able to win rounds. And he won't be able to trade in spots like he carefully did with Murat and Pascal.
something is fishy i been watching clips of hopkins and he is super super confident like he knows he will win
Hopkins is relying on cutting K then frustrating him as the cut worsens This could happen as the Euros are naive
Hopkins is going to beat Sergey. Hopkins is the best fighter Sergey has faced thus far, and at the age of 49. The Alien is going to out smart the crusher, and possibly crush him.
