We just saw how underwhelming Tavoris Cloud was last night against a journeyman gatekeeper. And back to the topic of the thread I really do think that Hopkins is gonna make Pascal look bad and put a Tito like schooling on him. And once he does it, people will cry that Hopkins chose him instead of Dawson because of styles when in reality it's because HBO wouldn't put up any money for a Dawson-Hopkins fight.
And the only thing in Pascal's favor is this fight being in Canada. But I think Hopkins will put up a great performance tonight and stop Pascal and make his corner throw in the towel like in the Tito fight. Same circumstances almost too, with Pascal being a title holder like Trinidad was but people will discredit the win saying Pascal isn't a natural 175 lber. Lol.
I'm not even as big of a Hopkins fan as I used to be, but I still recognize that he's able to pull good performances out of the wind.
