Hopkins vs. Kovalev 2014 - Full Fight 

Lol Lampley was unbelievably biased

@@heybeh12 he was but he still made the fights enjoyable

@@Christopher._M Exactly. These commentators today suck

Honestly!!!!

Yep HBO was the best.

i agree. to be 49 and fight the best in the division and survive is tough. i have a channel that covers boxing. check it out if it's not too much trouble bro

Angel Ferrer did you you see the strongest mens ? there are most at age between 30 and 50

+Faruk Yes but you lose physical condition. You get tired

Daniel Vietnam Alameda yes you right but hopkins has a good tactic he always running away and then hitting like hit run hit run hit

+Faruk Yes you're right

Man i always said that shit i hate hearing sports from school guys. Thats what i call a expert in a field they never participated in its always better when you get the call from guys that walked the walk

Roy is horrible. Biased and blind.

@@jotunblod ??? did you listen to the kovalev vs ward commentary, it's not race right

Very EDUCATED feet.

I agree, you can't take that from Hopkins.. But damn it was boring. But I guess you can make the argument that if Kovalev really was a great boxer, he would have found a way to end Hopkins sooner. Guess Kovalev really is a brawler not a boxer.

Soul Assassin and again, hopkins gets a loss wh3n he won. joe pushed him out

pushed him out with his fist.

Fuck Joe he don't get no props for that

He got extra brain damage from this fight. So think twice!

Well he did beat an old man. It's not like Hopkins is in his prime. Doesn't mean Kov doesn't deserve respect for the win.

***** Does that apply to you?

Says the guy on the internet..

CxsG90 he still lasted 12 rounds and he's 50 years old that say a lot no matter how you feel about it

relationships God Sports life and success he could kick my ass and I'm 220 and 30 lol BHop has heart

Power Rodri De La Cruz it's fuckin impressive isn't it, he's gonna live to about a 100 years old.

lmao

LOL

Yeah he's looking behind his as if he's trying to convince himself he slipped on a wet spot!

@@shotgun517 Exactly !! But he had no excuse to make so he just took it.

Lmao right

This was a prime Kovalev ....his cardio was shot after this fight against the two andre ward fights. It's amazing a 49 year old made it 12 rounds. Hopkins got a few good punches in there...but he did not throw enough punches in bunches to put any pressure on kovalev.

Some 5-6 years befor Hopkins had a great chance to beat Kovalev ...

I look at this now.. Hopkins, truly pathetic! No comp, at all. Kolvalev, barely a scratch!

Yoooo😂😂😂😂

Hahahah

Savage! Lol hahah

Bruh I’m 💀 lol 😂

hahahahahaha

Yeah but he lost soooo

Yea but he took the change and challenge like a champ, actually this a moral win

​@@philchickenfingers1190not all victories get you a belt... not all victories are only about a belt.

​@@philchickenfingers1190 Bruh, he literally holds the record of being the oldest champion, if he lost 100 fights after he still would've been great.

@@castroabuful2468bruh, he got beat by another Yt boy. Cry about it

Conflicto stop hating if you don’t have a positive test STFU

Brandon WRUPTZ97 not just that but at the highest level

Sure man

I think it's down to Hopkins style, he doesn't waste energy

who won then u super human being

Malcolm X I watched the fight again Hopkins got robbed.........

At least someone on hear tells the truth, you can't beat the clock benn must be mad 55?? Crazy.

i have a channel that covers boxing. check it out if it's not too much trouble bro

Bezo The Rebel if its full fights ill sub

He doesn’t... but his trainers do

Riddick You sound bitter about my Man Canelo. Maybe because he’s Mexican making Millions

Me vale verga nadie te pregunto

LMAO WHEN YOURE A REAL FIGHTER YOU ANALYZE AND TRAIN FOR YOURSELF

Riddick that guy had to do what everyone tends to do, always have to be bringing racism to everything. What a shame lol.

Hell 39 he would have steam rolled Kov

😂 Yeah right Kovalev was and always would be a very bad matchup for Hopkins regardless of his age

Still got beat by a “white boy” something he said would never happen. What a openly racist fuck. Legend sure.. racist legend, absolutely. Fuck him…

@@creationlabsinc.189 yes, that’s what I’m saying too. So glad joe calzaghe and kov beat him. The racist deserved it

Controversy gets us talking, and it also sells. So Hopkins was just marketing the fight and he got all us to talk about that quote, and watch the fight as well. Racism is hard to prove

Manny Iguina Legendary gentleman? Please he's the dirtiest and saltiest champion in boxing history.

Hopkins doesn't like white boys,.....I can tell you that.

MrMarco855 kovalev doesn't exactly count as a white boy that much. I know people think that he comes from a good wealthy family like calzaghe, but he doesn't. This guy was a bad ass criminal. He was in a gang and did stuff like bhop did. So don't exactly put him in that white boy born with a silver spoon bracket. Like hatton or calzaghe. Hattons parents had money and he decided to box. He was OK but not elite.

I don't look at it that way. Kovalev is white, that's what I see. Bernard made the racist rant, he used the expression white boy. I'm sure Hopkins considers Kovalev a white guy. Hopkins was addressing Calzaghe when he made the remark, and I think he would consider Calzaghe, Kovalev and Joe Smith to be white boys. What do those 3 white boys have in common? They all beat Hopkins ass. Frankly, I was shocked to hear Bernard make that comment. he's the oldest fossil in the sport, yet he uses an idiotic, hateful insult for all the young guys to see. after using a racist comment, he goes off pon joe smith with some self-serving bullshit. I've never seen anyone act like that. the fat that this was his 2nd 'attack' tells me that Bernard may need some help. I've been watching some of his interviews and he goes off in one direction or the other every time. if he's not being racist., he's insulting Smith while putting himself on a throne. He has so much pride that it's embarrassing. can you imagine any of the great fighters other than Bernard, saying shit like he do. he's up there yelling, I'm special'. That's not only a sinful ego talking, but an ignorant statement as well. He's not 'special' unless a large majority of fans said that if a poll was taken. He can say it loud and often, but that means that he believes it and nobody else. there are those that agree I'm sure, but it's a shameful thing to tell everyone how special he is. I've never seen anyone with all the issues that Bernard has. After the Floyd/Pacquiao fight, he quickly made a statement, calling Pacquiao a liar re: his shoulder injury. He also said that Pacquiao tried to make an excuse for losing, so Bernard berated him for not taking the loss liker a man. The problem is that Bernard lied about every detail. He either lied about everything or didn't check it out before talking. All of Floyd's fans have said the same thing because Floyd said it after the fight. Floyd lied and his fans repeat everything he says. I challenge any fan of Floyd; go to the after -fight interview between Pacquiao and Max Kellerman. Max asked him a dumb question about why he lost. This is what Pacquiao said; I think I won the fight. Max said,......how did you win the fight? Pac said,...... he didn't do anything. Max asked why Pac didn't have his usual offensive output. That was Pacquiao's statement, mentioned about his shoulder. Floyd is a liar.

Calzaghe fight was close. We all know if Joe Smith Jr fought bhop in his prime or even four five years ago, he wouldn't be able to tie bhops shoes. So fuck that comment. Maybe kovalev can win against bhop prime for prime.

Canelo is going only for the belt and then back to 160 again like he did with fielding he only looking for the easy belt

Yup ^

@@renesamano8789 easy belt?? U crazy!! Canelo is fighting on Kovalevs territory!! No business at that weight that's Kovalevs weight!! Shoot even Andre Ward wouldn't give Kovalev another fight Ward couldn't even knock him out(likeitsthateasy!) Easy belt nothing is easy in Boxing it's the toughest sport next too...!!

@@renesamano8789 if you think kovalev is a easy win for a middle weight fighter your a idiot

You're just a Canelo big fanboy. Old alcoholic Kovalev vs Prime Canelo was not an even fight.

TheBlkzenki lol

these might be compression socks!

No he looked cute, we like him down at the pink flamingo.

TheBlkzenki it looks like he has lgbt rainbow gloves

Black socks at least, but white ones! Lol

Is Roy high? Cause I am and it sounded like the tone of the HBO interpreters but the guy was speaking English. I thought the same thing

@@LowEndMarauder Roy is a dumb SOB, he's making an attempt to be funny and it makes him sound like the country bumpkin he is!

@Megalodon Unlocked andre ward, and a 30 year old hopkins

Loll i dont know know of any white boy that can beat any of us blacks from the carribean... ive been whooping yall asses for over 30 years straight street fight ko all.. idk i guess its cuz majority of us eat from the earth

COASTA LOECSTA kovalev lost to ward in the second fight and the first fight is a 50/50 split depending on who you ask.

@@aaroniquedemeritte5218 what part of tbe Caribbean..

He meant in his prime

He got his ass beat tho

He was back then, but not since the Chilemba fight, which was a preview of what was to come in the Ward fights and since then when he hasn't been the same. It's why boxing needs to start making fights when both guys are prime, otherwise we get skewed results and there is even less clarity than before as to who the best was in their primes.

Against a 50 year old lol

@@amadeuschavez. "ill never let a white boy beat me"

@@amadeuschavez. stil beat him and had him running the whole fight. Now cry 12 year old casual

@@philchickenfingers1190 You seem upset, I must’ve hurt your feelings lmao

Ward merked him twice.

@@Kal-El207 *beat him only once due to bad stoppage

Doing that lost him every round by a very large margin

@@bananaslol1 There just wasn't much he could do, realistically.

yep, too bad for Thurman. He got the worst of the two

tony stewart you're so sure lol well see

tony stewart 😂😂😂

have the excuses already been delivered?

kolędy polskie

Hopkins best defense is his reputation for ramming his head into the opponents face. Every opponent has to guard against that dirty shit first and foremost. That's exactly why Kovalev fought very cautiously and didn't knock Hopkins out. Clearly Kovalev could have knocked Bernard out one minute into the first round. He played it safe and smart, because he refused to be another Hopkins victim of head hockey. When Kovalev finally got busy in the last round, Hopkins was within a punch of going nite- nite. The commentators should be embarrassed of their horrible act. They praised Hopkins because they said he was taking the shots,.....then for the last rounds they constantly criticized kovalev for trying to knock the hell out of Hopkins. I'm going to replay to count the number of times they said kovalev wasn't being smart and was playing into Hopkins strategy. Roy jones insisted Hopkins will surely knock him out because he was giving Hopkins the chance to do that. With 10 seconds left in the fight, jones said Hopkins id going to knock him out. How about this; leave kovalev alone and let him fight the way he feels. He beat the hell out of hopkins all night, then was critisized 100 times by the commentators. Why don't they convene before the fight, write a script for each round and give that to kovalev? This was the most nauseating sucking up since malignaggi hugged broner's balls after getting spanked..........

i agree this is what ruiz has to do to win rematch vs aj, because on the inside he will kill aj

Thats amazing

Hopkins was old ass fuck already. Should have not been there anymore.

49 year old Hopkins lol

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

True

No doubt he never shuts the fuck up and thinks he's so smart.

Yes correct

Dr Bin Laden He never did.Age did

Rocky Vasquez excuses

Dr Bin Laden he ment American white boy.

andre ward

@@johndoe-pl9ok Andre Ward is Irish.

Shwagatha He didn't lose. The guy is 49, 50. a real beast

Darald Sibley II ... Lol he also lost to Joe Calzaghe who retired undefeated . So he's lost to two white boys

AR15cuz BlackGunsMATTER who? Never heard of em

Darald Sibley II ... You've seriously never heard of Joe Calzaghe ? He retired undefeated with 46 victories . Unfortunately he was from Wales and couldn't get many American fighters to fight him . He beat Roy Jones in his last fight . One of the best fights ever was the boxing clinic he put on Jeff "Left Hook" Lacy for 12 rounds when Lacy was an undefeated champion . He opened up both eyes and Lacy's nose in the fight and hit him 1006 times in the fight . Yes , 1006 TIMES ! If I remember correctly , he had 32 knockouts and also beat Chris Eubank earlier in his career and was as fast if not faster than Roy Jones . His punch out put could not be matched and had quite the chin . He for real looked like a skinny nerd but could throw hands better than anybody . And I'm an American saying this . O he also beat up on Kessler for 12 rounds . He had hand problems like Floyd the second half of his career so his KO's went down , but his output , again couldn't be matched . His last fight was against Roy Jones Jr. in 2008 I think when they were both in their late 30's . If you want to see some amazing offensive skill , watch the fights with Jones , Lacy , and Kessler and even the one with Eubank . The Hopkins fight with Calzaghe was boring , as Hopkins held on for dear life the whole entire fight . His two best was against Jones and Lacy if I had to pick two .

AR15cuz BlackGunsMATTER hes an absloute casual, calzaghe is a top 5 fighter of his era

Fight Fan fighting some old chap, I would

michael choy not when he commentates Pac-Man fights he gets ahead of himself lol

Agree

*Krushed

Exactly what I was thinking but I think if SK would have connected of a few right hand power shots Conelo would have gone on the floor.He missed every time.But that great Jab was working through muscle memory.And he need about Two more months or body rest to take on someone of Conelos greatness

He sucks no matter what!!

I luv Canelo, but that was some funny shit 💀
