On Saturday, November 8, 2014, Bernard Hopkins (55-6-2, 32 KOs) takes on Sergey Kovalev (25-0-1, 23 KOs) in a highly-anticipated Light Heavyweight bout.
The fight, dubbed “Alien vs. Krusher“, is a 12-round unification bout for the IBF, WBA and WBO world titles and is presented by Golden Boy Promotions and Main Events.
At 49 years of age, Hopkins is taking on the most feared puncher in his division and possibly all of boxing. The storylines are endless, and if Hopkins is able to defeat the undefeated Krusher, he will add to an already storied legacy.
Just a few months ago, it seemed as though Kovalev was on the outside looking in with matchups against Hopkins and WBC Light Heavyweight Champion, Adonis Stevenson, seeming unattainable because of network and promotional beefs.
But now, Kovalev has a chance to show that he is the best Light Heavyweight in the world and possibly be the first man to knock out the all-time great, Hopkins.
Before Saturday nights matchup goes down, Round By Round Boxing‘s Sr. Analyst, Gabe Rivas, and Sr. Writer, Lou Catalano, go head to head and break down two keys to victory for each man.
Let us know who you think will win, Alien vs. Krusher!
