The guy is a bad ass. After losing his only fight in Dec 08, he fights FOUR TIMES in 09 three of those world title fights and went 4-0, 2ko's. He is balls out every fight. Fought through a seperated should for the whole Diaconu rematch, and popped it back into place in the corner between every round.
He just had the biggest win of his career and still has to rematch Dawson. Instead of waiting he is schedualed to fight the biggest name in the division 4months later in Hopkins. Then rematching Dawson.
Pacal is a WARRIOR.
Grandpa Hopkins will take his soul.
I love Grandaddy Hopkins as much as anyone and appriciate his accomplishments. But this young lion will proove too fast and too strong. I sadly see Hopkins corner stopping it between rounds before 10rounds are up.
He has a good style. I think he will beat Hopkins easy, if he fights the right game plan. Dont stand around and let Hopkins hold and play games, bust through that weak **** with his fast, hard, combos. He should win a solid UD.
