    Exactly, that's why Hopkins he didn't try this earlier. Only in 12th round. He knew he would get KOed so he fought to survive hoping for a miracle.

    Kovalev beat hopkins at his own game.
    There where so many saying that kovalev could only win by knockout but he would never outbox Hopkins.
    But hopkins was schooled, never thought i will write that but it's true.
    Even on the inside, and kova as applying smart pressure and at times landing straight right rights flush to the head and body at will.
    And the few times hopkins tryed to counter he got countered by Kovalev.
    It was a boxing clinic, superb perfomance by kovalev.
    Bring on ward next

    Why Kovalev took the Regular WBA belt ?
    He is the Super Champion . They should have given him the Super belt :huh

    Hopkins workrate is always low against fighters willing to throw leather, its been that way since his middleweight days.
    Hopkins was throwing in single digits the first half of both fights with Jermaine Taylor and that was eons ago.

    What are you talking about. Bhop had him right where he wanted. 2 more rounds and Frankinstein would of gassed out.

    Kovalev would destroy ward

    Ward has atg skills but kov is his worst nightmare

    Kov can hit you clean and wards chin has zero chance against that
