Hopkins will make this look easy. B-Hop by 10th round TKO

I was wrong about the TKO,but this was a easy night for Hopkins as i expected. It came down to matchups and i think Bernard saw this as a easy chance to gain respect and glory again. The boxing media was on the Kelly Pavlik bandwagon. I thought B-Hop would win this fight easy because i thought Pavlik was much slower than Calzaghe and more of a guy who had power but came straight at you, basically plodding forward. This style is taylor made for Hopkins. Now a guy like Chad Dawson who has exceptional speed, great counterpuncher and boxing ability, i seriously doubt Hopkins would take him on. It was all about the matchup and Hopkins saw this as a easy matchup for him to get his respect back.

i Can't See Pavlik Losing Tbh. Oh Snap!!!

I can't see Pavlik losing tbh.

popkins and pavlik will be a trilogy..mark my words.. pavlik really doesnt have anyone else out there

Im gonna agree, i think Hopkins will win this, felt from day one he would and the closer the fight the more i felt this and i like the prediction.

moby > milk dud I would agree with that, but many others would disagree with it. That said there are striking similarities between the two's respective styles.

I think Pavlik is taylor made for Hopkins. Not exactly Tito Trinidad style, but i see similarities and i dont think Kelly will have the ability to make adjustments like Hopkins can. Expect Hopkins to box and use a lot of side to side movement and nail Kelly with consistent straight right hands throught the fight and eventually stop him in the 10th round. I actually think this is a easier fight for Hopkins than Calazghe was because Joe had exceptional hand speed and was very active. I dont think Pavlik holds the speed advantage over Hopkins. If anything its about even. Hopkins will use a lot of side to side and in and out movement and land straight right hands throught this fight. you want 5k on this then?

Pavlik is "Tarver lite". This should be easy as hell for 'Nard. moby > milk dud

It has been a good while since he has gotten a KO. I doubt that he can KO a guy who isn't a blown up welterweight. Trinidad wasn't a blown up Welterweight. He fit perfectly at 160 and detonated William Joppy (32-1-1), a damn good career Middleweight in his own right, and a guy Hopkins himself couldn't put the finish on in their fight. Oscar was blown up, Winky was blown up. Trinidad and Tarver weren't, and they're the perfect analogies for this fight with Pavlik.

Sorry guys, I'm not taking any more bets on this fight. I'm a point whore and I'm still awaiting the bill for another custom sig banner by Hyperion.

On paper it's a huge mismatch in my eyes. If Hopkins loses I'll show Pavlik the respect he deserves. But he won't. put your points where your mou th is. 100k?

woah you are putting it all on the line with that bringer. I'll be paying homage to this thread if you are correct. On paper it's a huge mismatch in my eyes. If Hopkins loses I'll show Pavlik the respect he deserves. But he won't.
