I don't think there is enough proof to be sure of that. Even though Kovalev isn't the biggest puncher ever, I think it is safe to say that nobody...
I am not sure if Spinks would have gotten him out of there, since Spinks didn't always go for the kill and against him Hops would be perhaps even...
Barring a one-punch KO yes, Jones and big, possibly by stoppage. Kovalev's chance of winning would be about 10%, which is more than most lt heavy...
All true. Adonis' game is based mainly to his left cross, if you can remove that you beat him and Hopkins might still find a way to do it. The key...
This also speaks volumes about how much you actually watched the fight you are commenting
Kovalev has done narrowly more, as he has beaten the #1 rated contender (by The Ring) and a top-5ish contender, whereas GGG has beaten two guys...
what was that?
Hopkins vs Stevenson would be interesting though. I'd actually like to see Hops fight him early next year and then retire, leaving the division...
I agree Kovalev could have pushed it harder, as he would have had a good chance of stopping Hopkins that way. I believe he still didn't trust...
Back to the waiting line for Silent and JoM. Kovalev won every round and fought just the way you are supposed to fight Hopkins. Hopkins might...
I actually thought you were kidding :lol: But yes, it seems to be working normally.
There might be something in this. In fact even though this sounds simple it could well be the best explanation. David Tua had poor footwork so he...
he is pretty basic but I wouldn't call him very slow, in fact not slow at all. He is no speedster, but for a lt heavy he isn't slow. I would be...
To me, this is the most interesting bout of the year Everything speaks for Kovalev. He is big enough, so Hopkins can’t manhandle him. He punches...
Double DQ for loading gloves
ABout the 10th round, I agree Hopkins won it, even though apart from a couple of lead rights he mostly wrestled it away. He also won the 11th and...
IMO it was a clear win for Calzaghe. Not a dominating performance in the sense that the rounds were reasonably close, but Hopkins concentrated on...
Or perhaps, not everybody on this forum is the same person. I answered this because I said the thing you quoted and I dare you to find when and...
Do you work for travel agency of Finland these days?
In fact it was a right foot trap
I am fearing the same. Kovalev is just the type of guy that Hopkins can still out-stink with his great bag of stinky tricks. Hopefully Kovalev is...
I have seen Sukhotsky twice, in his losing effort against Brähmer and in defeating Eduard Gutknecht. He is a solid all-round type of a fighter,...
I pick Murray over Cotto but Quillin over Murray. Murray is a solid all-around fighter who can punch a little, has a nice if not spectacular...
I take the Donny position here It is true that Cotto is having a greater career than you would think at first. He has never been the best fighter...
I agree, but Murray still is among the best that division can offer and thus it is a legit fight (unlike Rubio). After that, GGG has to start...
GGG is going to fight Martin Murray next, in February. A good match-up in these circumstances, as Murray is a legit top-5 guy and almost (and...
No, but I do believe that the fact that Bute was nine points behind when the round started had a lot to do with why he attacked so hard and in pro...
True that. With the new amateur pillows and with the rules system of 04 (where only straight punches scored points and any amount of running and...
Great responses all around. I agree that it is mostly some kind of a mental block. It can depend on fear (of getting hit) or something else, as...
In the first round the red guy seemed to get the better of it, pushing the blue guy back. Early in the second, the blue guy got a warning from...
