How can Hopkins win a decision in front of 15K Pascal fans?

As stated in another thread, this matchup is likely to most closely resemble Hopkins' battles with Jermaine Taylor. Two closely contested fights. In front of a packed house cheering everytime Pascal picks his nose, I don't see how Hopkins can expect to win outside of a minimum 10 round domination or stoppage(not going to happen). Those messy Pascall flurries whether landing or not, will win rounds. Close rounds are in the bank for Pascal.. I believe Hopkins will win this, but not by enough of a margin to actually earn the official victory. This fight will be close on the cards and likely resulting in a rematch on American soil. How does everyone see this playing out?
