Hopkins has never been stopped and is more durable and tougher than ward IMO.
Yes hopkins was not in his prime, but let's be honest he was getting absolutely battered in there, the only time kov looked like he made an effort to stop him was when he stuck his tongue out at the end, and then he nearly got stopped thereafter...
Kovalev IMO had a huge amount of respect for b bob and has said so, i think if he really wanted the stoppage he could of got it...
I don't think Kovalev is a MONSTER puncher, but he definitely hit's goddamn hard enough to KO or TKO Ward.
IMO i think there's going to be a huge shock in this fight, i don't think it will be close.
The problem is i dont know which way, i think there could be a brutal stoppage of ward OR Ward boxes his head off.
My initial thought was Kov mid - late TKO so ill stick with it
CANNOT WAIT
