I typically always side with my EE folks, and I will be in this one too, but if B-Hop genuinely outboxes Kovalev, I'll be glad to have witnessed history. May the best man win.

Ha! If that happens hopefully Andre Hopkins Jr Ward goes up in weight. Ward used to be a light heavyweight champ as an amateur, seems like it would be a natural weight for him.
