Fight Credential
Hopkins-Kovalev
By Brian Campbell
ESPN.com
In a true contrast of styles, age and background, Bernard Hopkins (55-6-2, 32 KOs) puts his pair of light heavyweight titles on the line in a unification bout against Sergey Kovalev (25-0-1, 23 KOs). Just two months shy of turning 50, Hopkins will look to disarm the hard-punching Russian, who is 13-0-1 with 13 KOs since 2011. Kovalev has destroyed nearly every opponent put in front of him. Already the oldest boxer to win and defend a world title, Hopkins looks to add one more victory against a dangerous and favored opponent.
