He should have tried moving his arms instead of his feet the whole fight then.

kovalev wasnt in range........

The crowd was a pro Hopkins for sure but there were a ton of Krusher fans there as well. I'd say 70/30 in favor of Hopkins.

To answer your other question, the place was absolutely packed. It looked like they were close to capacity or more than 95% of tickets sold.

Here's a picture...

Looks packed apart from one section behind that thing hanging down in the middle (I clicked to enlarge).

I suspect with time Hopkins going 12 rounds with Kovalev is going to look fairly impressive, kind of like Ouma going 10 with Golovkin except Hopkins was 49 and didn't get stopped.

My tweets to bhop before fight:

Your first tweet is exactly what happened in the knockdown. Kovalev jabbed, baited, and landed the right.

Nice... At least some people here prove that they know boxing (even if they are playing dums on this board). I also sent Kovalev some messages, but not on Twitter, of course... At least my messages weren't contradicted by the actual fight...
