And most likely, accuse KOvalev of cheating to cause the injury and earning a DQ win. 3 ways BHOP doesnt lose this fight. DQ win, ala faking low blow, ref symathizes, and DQs Kovalev without warning. Copping out early, faking injury, calling foul, and getting the ref to say BHOP can't continue do to accidental foul, and calling it a NC. TKO win, by stepping on Sergey's foot, dropping him, then flurrying landing a punch or two, and getting a nationalistic stoppage, or headbutting/elbowing Kovalev, opening a cut, which the biased, nationalistic ref, calls a punch, and end the fight prematurely even though Kovalev is well up on the cards.
Bernard will quit on his stool around 7th round and shock everyone by giving Kovalev credit for being the better fighter!!!!!
Sad will be if Hopkins fakes an injury like he's done a couple times in his career and quits to avoid the beating that he feels is coming his way.
The only fighter Hopkins has ever given credit to was a fighter he laid out with a body shot, and thats only because Hopkins wanted in with GBP! Dont count on Hopkins giving anyone credit.
Its like Hopkins to fight a survival fight when he knows he cant outbox you. I'll give Hopkins more credit if he goes out on his shield trying to actually win the fight.
Donaire fought like a dumbass. He fought fire with fire and he paid for it big time. B-Hop is smarter than that.
Its very possible, Kovalev has'nt proven himself against anyone of note. Lets be real here, the LH division is weak.
This. I don't even understand what people see in Kovalev. It's enough to watch his tapes, to see he can only land on tomato cans.
If he doesn't pretend to be injured and quit and actually does get ko'd it won't as enjoyable as some might seem to think
It was sad when Joe Louis was layed out on the ropes at the hands of Marciano Hopkins is no Louis. Louis was captain America, full of class and was fighting to pay debts. Hopkins is an x convict, a racists, and a cheap foul artist in the ring. I hope kovalev punishes Hopkins legally and either forces Hopkins to quit or knocks him out. I want Hopkins heathy. No tradgies please. A fair interview would be great.
he is very good at timing and distance. Kovalev is the real deal, Not a hype job. He will beat bernard into retirement Watch the tapes again (with blindfold off)
it would be bad to see an old man get beaten up yes. though he deserves a kicking to get him retired. trouble is bern will try and last the distance eve if hes losing. fine line between bravado and stupidity. hopefully ko4clev has more sense than to showboat him like some of the classless cowardly idiots who faced aged legends.
To see a jerk like you booted out of this forum will be sweet karma to me. But anyway after Nard kicks Kovalevs ass you'll disappear anyway:rofl
