    Dawson-Hopkins II:

    "I took a lot of headbutts. He's going into the Hall of Fame. Like I said though, he's a dirty fighter. It's what we worked for, we knew he was going to headbutt. He hit me with like eight headbutts. I kept my composure, but it was obvious that he was doing it on purpose." - Chad Dawson in the post-fight interview with Max Kellerman


    Cloud-Hopkins (from Boxrec):

    "Cloud cut over left eye lid from accidental head butt in rd. 6 and cut over right eye lid from accidental head butt in rd. 12"


    Wright-Hopkins (from Boxrec):

    "Hopkins opened a gash over Wright's left eye with an accidental butt in the third round."

    I see Kovalev fans are overly confident lately. :lol: Weren't you guys laughing confidently that Hopkins would never dare face the "destructive force"?. You guys better pray that Hopkins can't use movement as he used to nor counter attack without running out of gas otherwise Kovalev is due to be schooled like all the rest.

    How favored was Hopkins facing Pascal twice in Canada?. Ironically, in the rematch they brought in a British referee knowing that he would be well experienced at blatantly and shamelessly corrupting fights. I don't see why they would favor a 50 year old over a young well-hyped fighter who's style is fan friendly and has a long future in the sport.

    Very likely.

    Hopkins has quite a bag of tricks. I wouldn't be surprised if he tries to get Kovalev DQed by faking a foul.

    When was the last time an American referee favored Hopkins?. Don't try to stir nonsense coming straight out of your worthless ass, ******.

    The referee in the Pascal rematch, who was "shockingly" British, was as corrupt as can be in favor of Pascal. The scumbag didn't even try to hide it.

    Steve Smoger actually punched Murat in the face.

    The ref in Dawson-Hopkins I should have DQed B-Hop for his bad acting when Hopkins faked it (or called it a Dawson RTD win since Hopkins basically quit).

    Spot on. But its not just with Kovalev, its with any fighter of color against a European, eastern European in particular. Its just hateful propaganda and excuse making in case his favorite fighters lose.
