Comments Thread For: Kovalev: Only Strategy is To Kick Bernard Hopkins' Ass

[Elroy1]

Ill bet you 11 million points on hopkins, what do you say?

Do I even HAVE 11 million points to bet?

How does that work?

But yeah I'll put my word on the line and eat the crow if Hopkins wins of course.

I think it's a pretty sure bet. Then again, I have made some fumbles too, such as I thought Floyd would have struggled with Alvarez, that Floyd would have walloped Maidana, that PAc would never have been knocked out by MArquez, that Arreola would have brutalised Stiverne in the rematch.

But Kovalev is among the most dangerous fighters ever and Hopkins is well, aged for one.

BHop still takes a good punch and he never got KO'd.
Bhop by decision

Bhop has never fought an opponent as good, as powerful or as dangerous as Sergey Kovalev.

Fact!

a broner fan talking about hype jobs

Broner is not a hypejob. OMG, He lost a fight, he is immediately A hypejob, Wow. LOL. Broner has many skills. Kovalev has one skill. KO Power, that is it. He is just another Ruslan at 175.

Don't be ridiculous, Kova has no skills ey and just another Russian

Russians train hard, Americans don't
Russians are inherently tough, Americans are not.

Works both ways!

Truth is you can see the skills in both Broner AND Kovalev, Kova's are very offense oriented.

Trust me if he were merely just powerful, he wouldn't be where he is!

Thouasands of boxers are probably as powerful if not more than Kovalev but none of them could probably land it like he does.

Bhop is brave for taking this fight. Ive aways disliked him but I can't help and fee l some respect for the guy. At his age fighting Pascal, Cloud, Dawson and now Kovalev? it takes balls

Kovalev will destroy him....

Yeah, he has tremendous guts and has delivered great performance for his age.

But this is his check out.

any body who thinks popkins has a chance only has to review calzaghe vs popkins calsaghe with no power was able to slap popkins into submission if calzaghe had any power he would have KO'ed popkins

[Daddy T]

you guys are missing the point of what he is saying. He's basically saying he is going to fight his fight and do what he is good at, not fall into the trap of engaging in a chess match with hopkins, fighting at hopkins' pace etc.

kovalev's plan is to be Kovalev ... simply go in there, throw a lot of leather and *** his opponent up.

funny thing is ruslan would beat the crap out of broner too

broner was given 3 belts and they are looking to give him a 4 without facing any threat, the first time he got a threat he got beaten to a pulp, but of course you would say he wasn't, that it was a close fight. again, being a broner fan you have no room to talk about another guy being a hype job

Kovelev fights nothing like Ruslan. Kovalev is a boxer-puncher, not a slugger. His skills are often overlooked because of his power.

That being said, Provodnikov > Broner
