It will be really sad, indeed. To see Kovalev wildly missing. To see Kovalev being constantly anticipated. To see Kovalev being wildly outjabbed. To see Kovalev helplessly tied up in endless clinches and while being held being also punched to the side. To see Kovalev being hit low. To see Kovalev being stunned by the constant headbutts. To see Kovalev tired and cut by all the dirty tricks and the elbows. To see Kovalev being stopped on cuts or looking lost in losing a wide decision.
Actually, WISDOM is what says Hopkins will win. Kovalev is totally unskilled, slow, predictable, and probably also weak chinned.
Hopkins is nearly 50 years old man, we're not talking about a 36 year old Hopkins who schooled Trinidad or even a 2008, 43 year old one who owned Pavlik. Each fight he loses a step, looked average vs Murat and slightly better vs Shumenov.
kovalev will stop bernard... the powers real. i think people are underestimating kovalev's power, he's not pavlik.
:deal my lust for krushing ko's outweighs my love for any fighter, and im a huge fan of kovalev and not a huge fan of hopkins.
Seriously doubt Hopkins will allow himself to get ktfo. If he senses he can't control Kovalev with holding and defensive tactics, he'll fake an injury and quit
Im going to the fight and this is what worries me the most that the fight will end on some bull****.I just want a clear winner.:bbbI will be rooting for kovalev though.
