how did he not go down lol

By:
That was like a rocky move at the end Hopkins getting smashed around the ring
|

By:
Bellew and Clev should note what real heart is.
Both caved in early after taking a fraction of the punches Bhop was hit with tonight |

Ref really should've stopped that in the final seconds. Stayed up all night to lose a big bet like that. ffs

By:
Fair play to Hopkins he is made of granite
|
|
By:
tbf the ref probably wanted him to keep his record of never being KO'd
|
|
By:
And to think Bellew/Cleverley is ppv
 British public complete mugs |

By:
He stayed on his feet simply because I had my biggest bet of the year on Kovalev inside 12. 9/10 refs would of stopped that before final bell. Sick.

really enjoyable fight, thought Kovalev boxed tremendous and brave stuff from Hopkins.

By:
Enjoyable fight? It was a pedestrian paced one sided beating against an opponent mimicking a turtle/goat.
Suppose its fitting Hopkins goes out boring audiences to death with his inactivity...that is his legacy. A guy who literally stole money from the boxing public time and time again. Not hard to see how he effortless slips into the promotion business, he'll be able to con his way to even more undeserved compensation behind the curtains. |

each to their own mate, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Was nice to see different aspects to Kovalev's game and whilst it was a whitewash there were a couple of moments when you thought Bernard might get into the fight. For all your guff about Bhop stealing money from the boxing public I thought it was fascinating to watch him hang in there and try to eek out openings as best he could when clearly physically overmatched. Perhaps you prefer seeing the likes of our Nath fold up when clipped on the arms a few times?

Couple of moments you thought Bernard was back in the fight? C'mon lol, what when he actually threw and landed a punch? Those moments were breathtaking, especially given his amazing ko percentage over the last decade+ had me wondering if Kovalev could stand up to them...End Sarcasm.
I'm amazed the support Hopkins gets for being "crafty". He's a serial cheater who offered nothing to boxing except lackluster main events and a bad attitude. |

You're entitled to your opinion, you did however misquote me there to suit your agenda. I'm generally a glass half full kind of person, you seem to be one of the many internet whingers who only see the negative in everything. Fill your boots by all means but if you can't see anything at all to admire from last night then it's your loss imo.

Please spare me the all high and mighty stuff. As you say you have your opinion and I have mine. To suggest its my loss I can't see anything in that performance of Hopkins is to suggest you hold a superior opinion to mine.
And to categorize me as an internet whinger and someone who sees the negative in everything based on my ultra negative (based in fact) opinion of Bernard Hopkins is a little much. |

I suppose you were still on the milk when Hopkins was stopping pretty much everybody he fought Horangi. You know that time when a fighter is in his prime. Getting old happens to everybody. I prefer to celebrate the fact that he remained competitive at the top level long into his boxing dotage.

Just back, that is the hardest puncher I've seen live. You can hear them THUD. Hopkins really isnt my cup of tea, minus the boring though effective style he's a racist sh it.Fair play to him in the 12th though went out on his shield.
Anyway brilliant work by Kovalev and perhaps now the yanks will admit the lad can also box. Great gameplan by Jackson so frustrating when people head hunt when their opposition is on the ropes, hit the body it cant move. He broke him down bit by bit outboxed he showed a variety of skills was patient and can bang, can see why Stevenson avoided him |
