    Forget about it. He doesn't have that mental drive because basically he has nobody behind him but Hopkins and GBP themselves and you could have seen that in the Shumenov-Kovacs fight. He was hired or asked to sign up to display his best effort but first he was studied. This is not the case of an old Hopkins business partner pushing hard for a young buck like Jermain Taylor to win. Under the freezing lights of the big stage, Beibut will not feel surely how to get off at this level.

    What kind of boxing fan just wants to see a boxer get knocked out? Strange.

    Hopkins will be eating his words if he fights Kovalev
    I'd love to see the pre-fight presser because I think Bernard
    will come on scared. He will be serious as hell.

    i think by doing nothing it just showed he wasnt falling for any pre planned tactics. had he done what you said, everyone including hopkins would say he was in his head or under his skin

    The EE fighters don't do that tough guy bull **** act. They show up and they fight, that's it.

    then again, you gotta hype the fight for $$$$
