"Alien" Hopkins vs "Krusher" Kovalev Post fight Discussion thread

[King_]

yea its so funny i cant stop laughing when looking at masks....

Why you gotta be so mean ?






The mask stops at his chin. It looks like a halloween mask purchased at a dollar store

[BOXEO _]

Too bad the top fighters of today don't have this mentality.

The day has arrived!! War KOvalev!

watching B-Hop/Murat, can't imagine Kov doing worse than Murat did. I also can't imagine B-Hop taking as many chances against Kov.

When Sergey's right hand tilts him off balance and he finds himself standing square - his arse is touching canvas.

When he steps back to reset himself and finds himself standing square - his arse is touching canvas.

When he tries to unload and gets hit with counters - his arse is touching canvas.

His arse is gonna touch canvas so often, he might as well have just sewn some into his pants!

Stealth War Hopkins!!

Calling it now, Hopkins headbutts Kovalev (who cuts easily) and then clinches his way to victory in a snoozefest.

I am so hyped. I genuinely have no confidence in who will win this fight, and I love it. Best fight all year, and I hope it goes down without any of the bull**** that tends to ruin our time when we get excited around here.

War Kovalev, war Hopkins, war boxing!

I second this..

**** . . . . . I've become delirious on hyperbole!

After the fight people are gonna be like "Damn Hopkins aged overnight. This is not how he looked in his last few fights"


And then they will finally realize that Sergey Kovalev is 5000000x levels about Tavoris Cloud, Karo Murat and Beibut Shumenov.



Ah, who am I kidding. Hopkins will just "be too old" and a "prime Hopkins embarrasses Kovalev"

[The Big Dunn]

Can't wait for tonight. Let's hope this marks a shift in the sport and we get a much better end of 2014 and 2015 then we had so far.

It turns out that Kovalev is making a $500 K purse according to Dan Rafael:

Seems small, consider in this is for three world titles.

It sounded like a mind blowing purse when Klimas told him he's making 23,349,200 rubles!

Quips aside, that displays a level of confidence on where he believes his career will go after he fights Hopkins.
