kovalev beat darnell boone via split decision

So what! He stopped him in 2 in a rematch exceedingly easy. That's like saying Hopkins loss to Clinton Mitchell means something. Come on Mang! Can you do better than that?

[Pish Flaps]

Hopkins will win every round.

It's funny when a fan boy like this ^^^^ thinks an overrated senior citizen beats a strong skilled fighter like Kova. SMDH

Everyone is gonna watch this fight holding their breath every time Kovalev lets his hands go to see whether Hopkins gets knocked the **** out. I know I am.

It's not gonna happen though. Hopkins has too many tricks in the toolbelt.

I don't really think Kovalev is a one-punch KO guy, most of his knock-out wins come from an accumulation of heavy blows.

Will he be able to hit Hopkins multiple times like that? I'm sceptical.

Who do you think Hopkins has beaten that was more skillful than Kovalev? I don't see it. Kovalev is nearly impossible to contain. Campillo, who can fight, folded. Sillakh, who is quite skilled, was abused. Cleverly, a robust young kid, was owned. And I think Cleverly and Sillakh could give Hopkins all kinds of problems. Kovalev's jab alone is a serious weapon to the body, head and thrown straight off the wrong foot. He won't be standing there like a nitwit like Shumenov did. He will be probing and firing. This will be Nard's Waterloo.

You can't compare those guys to Hopkins.

Um...I thought that John David Jackson and Bernard were...friends ? He worked with Naz in Hop's camp. Its part of the reason I had su****ions about how hard Kovalev would come at Hop. HBO 24/7 show last night, Jackson was commenting on Hop, and those were not the kind words of a friend .

He said he's been in Hop's training sessions, and he is indeed an old man, and he wants Kovalev to knock him the F out. Was there a falling out that I wasn't aware of? I expected, you know, Hop is a legend, best man win, blah, blah. Jackson continued, hitting the nail on the head, that Hopkins' opponents get lulled to sleep in boring posing contests. He seems to want Kovalev to do more punching than posing.

Still think the fight will be a stinker, but Jackson and Kovalev seem to have the right mindset.

Jackson is probably still bitter from when B-hop whooped him.

Sure you can. But your reply doesn't apply to my retort. I simply asked previously, who has Hopkins beaten that has more or better skills than Kovalev?

Hopkins is gonna get ruined on November 8th.

The gig is up.
