hopkins is gonna ko pascal this weekend...

Hopkins won't KO Pascal, in fact I don't think he will even try. He just isn't that kind of fighter anymore. I think he will dominate most of the fight like he did last time, but this time around he won't have any trouble getting a UD because he isn't getting knocked down. Hell I scored the first round of the first fight a 10-9 even if with the knock down because Hopkins was clearly winning the round. Dan Rafael agrees...

yeah just like berto was gonna school ortiz right? you did say that before the fight right? even when a poster said it was going to be close fight you called him out on it and said it was gonna be a beatdown....:wave:

I think it will be another very close fight The last time Hopkins KO'ed anyone it was 7 years ago against a Jr MW, that isn't happening.

Seriously doubt that hops is gonna ko pascal. If hops doesnt get knocked down this time he should deserve a decision victory, but u never know whats gonna happen in canada... still getting praged??

most recently? 2 saturdays ago lol... I believed everything mosley said and I was ready for a war. After the fight I was like **** mosley. you thought it would be competitive??did you miss mosleys last 2 fights? hopkins>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>mosley

This is a very hard fight for me to gauge. In the first fight, Pascal had no template to go by and he fought very brave in the early rounds (even knocking Hopkins down). When Hopkins started taking him to deep waters in that fight, Pascal mentally started guessing himself right there on the spot. So which Pascal do we get this go round? Does he put out his own fire and go with a cautious gameplan from the get go and handcuff his only chance of winning (i.e. fighting more like he did in the early rounds of the first fight)? Does he convince himself that the outcome of the first fight was attributed to what he didn't do versus what Hopkins did do, and fight brave the entire fight? Too many questions and too many scenarios with this one. My gut feeling is that Hopkins has gassed Pascal up to the point he might over shoot his mark and go out there overly aggressive to prove a point, and Hopkins will pick him apart. Another gut feeling is that Pascal uses his physical gifts over Hopkins and fight to a very boring cautious decision. So confused and excited!:boxing:

most recently? 2 saturdays ago lol... I believed everything mosley said and I was ready for a war. Trust me,that fight & this 1 are not the same.That fight was never supposed to be competitive,this 1 is supposed to.Mosley & arum & Pacman's whole team needed to sell that fight because the majority of fight fans knew it was a bull$hit matchup.U can't be that gullible bro.

If he wins this week,that enhances my belief that he's the greatest active fighter. never stay red pimp..reset your karma

Maybe, but i learned my lesson already- never take a fighter's word about what they're gonna do or how they're gonna fight when the night comes. The night of the fight is the only thing that matters- not the talk leading up to it. So,when were U fooled & learned ur lesson??

I highly doubt that this will be the best fight of his career. Hopkins has always performed his best when he's an underdog, and he isn't that now. He'll probably win, he should win, but we'll see.

If he wins this week,that enhances my belief that he's the greatest active fighter.
