Ohh man possibly the biggest fight of the year for me. This is really one for the books. MAN I'm hoping so much for Hopkins but I think Kovalev wins by dec. I think we'll see Hopkins gas this time around.

This is probably the 6th time, ever since Pavlik almost, where I have thought Hopkins could get KO'd or at least lose. Every time he proves me wrong, this one will be tough though.

If he wins it's one of the biggest things I have seen in my life of boxing, it will never be forgotten.

I see Bhop coming out circling and initiating a lot of clinches first 1-2 rounds. Then he'll start the jab-right-duck inside combo and the right hand lead-headbutt-inside clinching combo. He'll probably cause a cut on Kov within 3 rounds. If he sees that Kov is uncomfortablbe inside, he'll stay inside and start firing a few inside hooks and right hands before tying up or ducking/circling out. He might even put Kov down or wobble him.

BUT, by middle rounds, Kov will find his distance. He'll start to trap him on the ropes and start hurting Hop to the body. Hop will retire on his stool by 10-11 round.

Of course, it could turn out just like Hop vs Pavlik, but I doubt it.

Kovalev's gameplan is only good for a fast fighter

His jab will get countered

Hopkins will put on a clinic
