I agree. But everything points to a showdown in Canada. I think he should just retire on a high note but it seldom ends like that. Someome will have to retire Bhop for him to finally call it quits.
B Hop will beat Stevenson and make it look easy. Stevenson only has a puncher's chance. Stevenson will fight at B Hop's pace, and he's not a smart fighter that can make adaptations. He's athletic, rangy, and a powerful puncher, but his boxing IQ is probably no better than Shumenov's. Bellow showed that Stevenson has trouble with movement, but that's all Bellow brought to the table. Hopkins will bring movement, experience, and a bag of tricks. I thought Hopkins was done. I was wrong.
He ain't got no choice. It's a collision course and I don't know what B Hop is thinking but if by some miracle he can pull that off, His legacy will be untouchable.
Yep. Before the end of the year BHOP will have 3 of 4 LHW belts in his hands and will have unified the LHW titles. That would make him the oldest person to have unified at LHW at 50 in the history of the sport. :yep Man I'v lost count. Exactly how many world records of boxing does BHOP own now, 5, 8, 10?
Stevenson is packing glass, ****** glass Bhop has never come close to being knocked out The old man will destroy this tin can easy
Way I see it, Stevenson is an inferior boxer to Pascal in every department except power. B-Hop could make this look easy. He could also get knocked out. It's a great matchup. Throwback to Moore vs. Durelle. Not to be missed.
Hopkins is calling him out. Telling him 'I'm coming to Canada'. He wants to unify all the titles. Steveson first, then Kovalev.. If this happens I will be unduly shocked. Think Al Haymon will let Stevenson fight Hopkins...or is Stevenson not under Haymon...I can't keep this sh!t straight.
Stevenson signed with haymon as advisor a while back. So All is advisor to both BHOP and Stevenson. Stevenson announced after his last fight that he was waiting to fight Hopkins in Quebec. Said that's what the fans wanted. Hopkins gave him a shout out last night and said he's on his way. Maybe Kovalev will be sitting at ringside cause he appears to be locked out.
The reason why Hopkins might beat Adonis and Sergey is because when fighters get in front of Hopkins they get intimidated by him and then frustrated when they can't hit him. Same thing happens with Ward with that jab that comes out of nowhere, Hopkins does the same thing with the right hand and that pisses fighters off. Shumenov was doing well in round 1 and 2 and then just got frustrated when he couldn't hit Hopkins and then he just mentally broke apart. Slow crafty clinchers like Hopkins and Ward are can **** most mentally weak fighters off.
No risk, no reward. If Hopkins was the type to end his career on a high note, he would have retired after upsetting Tito Trinidad and missed out on the best part of his career.
