Hopkins dominates Shumenov

Bernard Hopkins was masterful against Beibut Shumenov in winning a split decision and knocking him down once.  Hopkins is a legend and ageless wonder who is showing Floyd how to get it done by fighting and beating nothing but the best in his division.  He called out Adonis Stevenson next which is a huge fight between the top two light heavyweights in the world.

Kovalev needs step up

Sergei Kovalev now won't have Hopkins, Shumenov,  Stevenson, or Jean Pascal as options on HBO with the most recent move looking like Pascal.  The light heavyweight division has moved to Showtime.  Kovalev doesn't have a big name on his resume so this is a concern.  Kathy Duva needs to pull a rabbit out of the hat to keep this guy relevant.
