  • Hopkins was down in the first from a short punch to the head, while his head was briefly turned to the right away from Kovalev. After that, the best Hopkins could muster was pushing Kovalev to the canvas and then raising his hands, ruled no knockdown. Hopkins got on his bicycle for most of the bout. Kovalev won every round on the volume of punches thrown and landed even though Hopkins had the edge of punches thrown by percentage. Hopkins appeared the best physical condition of his career, and the best condition of any fighter fighting at 49 years old. Kovalev appeared not to take any chances until round 12, when he battered Hopkins around a bit. Quality televised show by HBO. Scoring unofficially during the telecast, HBO commentator Harold Lederman gave Kovalev every round. Kovalev had a small mouse under his left eye on bout's conclusion. Hopkins was unhurt.
  • B-Hop succeeded in taking Kovalev into deep waters past round seven for the first time in Kovalev's career. To Kovalev's chagrin, Hopkins legs were still good, and though Kovalev repeatedly tried to cut off the ring on Bernard, Kovalev lacked the ability to get a 49 year old man out of there, raising big questions. The wolf chased the speedy rabbit all night. Bout result not likely to affect either man's career. The HBO televised bout was fought quietly.
  • Holding was minimal during all 12 rounds. However, Kovalev was warned several times for hitting Hopkins behind the head by referee David Fields.
