Kelly Pavlik vs. Bernard Hopkins on October 18 HBO PPV?

[ben41193]

Pavlik will earn the distinction of being the first man to stop b-hop

[MakeDamnSure]

Hopkins will get tired in the later rounds of too much holding.

[Sir_Joe]

I will actually be rooting for Hopkins although I hate him and really like Pavlik just because of the hype Pavlik would get off a victory.

I HATE the idea of this fight because I think Hopkins will likely win (ruining Calzaghe - Pavlik) or if Pavlik wins he will get majorly overhyped and Calzaghe's win over Hopkins would account to nothing.

I'm undecided I may actually bet on Hopkins but i'm not sure yet.

i cant wait for hopking racist comments!
" not another white boy will beat me!!"
only one out box the hell out him? lol

[MWMerlino]

This is going to be funny, Calzaghe fans cherish his split decision over B-Hop, what if Pavlik knocks him out? Is it possible that Joe's fans will try to simultaneously credit Joe for the win and still call Pavlik "hype"?

I think Sir_Joe's head might explode if that happens. Kudos to Pavlik for taking the best available fight and trying to stay active. Pavlik vs AA--2009!

[Sttuddahboy619]

At this stage of his career, I don't think a win against Hopkins does nothing for Pavlik!

[Bhopreign]

I said after the first Taylor/Pavlik fight that Hops was licking his chops to get at Kelly, lateral movement will get the best of Pavlik. Hop wins and will have his choice of Jones or Calzaghe then ride into the sunset.

either way ill be going to this. love goin to boardwalk hall then losing my **** at roullette. wish it was on the 27th of sept. though which was my bday. oh well still will be a great night and hopefully a good fight. i see pavlik winning by UD though. i just think by this time hopkins will be too old, cant see him being hungry enough.

I doubt either fighter will fight B-Hop again, B-Hop now is all risk little reward.
