Kovalev dropped Hopkins in round one and sent the 49 year old staggering around the ring in the final round,nearly stopping him.
Kovalev won every round on the judges cards and mine as well.
I scored the bout 120-106 for the Russian,who despite not being the lineal champion , is clearly the best 175 pound fighter in the world,
The bout was the first time ever that Kovalev went the 12 round distance after entering the bout never before going beyond the eighth round.
In the boxing challenge,the point difference remained the same as R,L,Malpica and I only gained one point for a 62-60 scorecard.
Each of us gained one for the Kovalev victory,but neither of us would gain another.
Both of us thought Luis Abregu would defeat Sadam Ali,but Ali controlled the welterweight fight and stopped Abregu in the ninth round.
Neither of us would get a point for the European bout between Felix Sturm and Robert Stieglitz as the 168 pound fight was fought to a 12 round draw....
I hope to be back later with the huge Ohio State win over Michigan State,if not I'll get a review up tomorrow....
