Pavlik by KO. Hopkins retires at the shame of losing to another white boy
I see you got 5k on ya prdeiction already.....do you care to put another 5 on that?
I hate Bhop, yet for some reason I see Bhop possibly winning this. I think his defense is just too sophisticated and he has too many tricks up his sleeve for a one dimensional (yes i know everyones sick of hearing that) puncher like Pavlik. He's not gonna be getting nailed by 1-2's all day like most of Pavlik's opponents, thats for sure.
I think Bhop's counter ability is gonna slow down Pav's workrate somewhat. Whereas Calzaghe was happy with just throwing ugly, slappy punches just for workrate and scoring sake, Pavlik won't throw a punch if he's not gonna sit down on it. I see that possibly working against him. Then again, if Bhop throws 4 punches a round like he usually does (which is why I hate him), all the clean punches in the world won't save him from the judges scorecards.
