    Hopkins is 50 years old fool. Let see what some of your favorite boxers are doing at 50.:hi:

    High on the head is not the chin or jaw where one is most vulnerable.
    High on the head is where you have the most protection.
    George Chuvalo said once that he could take punches high on the head all day long. And very seldom did he get hit square on the chin.
    Hopkins did not take one flush shot on the chin during the 12th round.
    Now Kovalev over rated is another issue.

    So his power is overrated due to the fact you think he didn't hurt Bernard in that round, but then you're saying he didn't actually land a clean shot on the chin? Do you not see how you're contradicting yourself there?

    No. He is over rated because he couldn't land a clean shot and missed so many shots.

    That shows another facet of Bhops legendary status. age 50 taking full on shoits, in the final round from the hardest p4p puncher in boxing today - and still not being put to sleep.

    this is just magnificent stuff, lesser people would have been flattened by kovalev jabs.

    You're the only dummy here *******. Hopkins is 50 and a legend what he's done in the sport is historic no one else in the history of boxing has done it at his age. Don't get mad at me because your favorite fighters won't do the same.

    i dont like hopkins, but he went out with his boots on. hes the one that went out looking for the ass beating, and when it came, he took it like a boss. he then passed the torch like a man, no excuses.

    Yeah but Hopkins literally hadn't won a single 15-second-span of the whole fight up until that point. If it wasn't Bernard Hopkins, the ref would have probably pulled the plug rounds earlier citing a lack of interest in fighting. He was protecting himself just fine, really fine actually, but if this fight were in the 1930's it would have ended with Hopkins being DQ'd (fights back then were called off all the time when it looked like one fighter was "laying down" or "not trying").
