    Hopkins is a cheater, fouler, whiner and injury feigner. Personally I will rejoice once Kovalev takes this guy out once and for all

    The Judges or Ref can't save Kovalev from his extraterrestrial encounter with, The Aline.

    I'm not sure if he can, Hopkins is very crafty and knows how to use every dirty trick in the book. And he knows how to survive: if there is ever a nuclear war, the most likely person on earth to live through it would be B-Hop.

    Hopefully the ref will be from a neutral country. A ref like Laurence Cole, Jack Reiss or Hopkins' friend Steve Smoger will do all they can to help B-Hop.

    I think the ref will allow clinching and head-butting on Hopkins part.
    Kovalev will get cut, that's 100% certain.

    Its still not going to be enough for him to win. Kovalev's accuracy and power will be the difference here.

    If a bad ref like Laurence Cole or Jack Reiss is working, it could be ruled a TKO after a cut caused by a deliberate B-Hop head butt.

    Only if Hopkins is allowed to bring his cane in the ring and Geritol and Metimusual are not on the banned substance list.

    For sure. I think the edge in power and youth are also in Hopkins favor. Especially power, Hopkins has been detonating right hands on people lately.

    I was at all 3 fights A poll of press and ringsiders revealed at least 80 % had Hopkins winning all 3 fights. Those decisions were purely political
