No. It's for the 8 round Intercontinental WBA Super Duper Mega Super 170 catch weight belt.

If it were an 8 round fight I'd be so damn confident in B-Hop winning.

More active and aggressive B-Hop?

Ofcourse! B-Hop would around and tag him.

Like I said in a different thread, I think Pavlik's plan to be aggressive early against B-Hop is a good strategy. Test out how much is left in the old masters tank. BUT, if Pavlik gets too happy, he just might eat a huge counter from Hop.
I'm not counting out Hopkins. I just think the young lion prevails.

lists Pavlik/Hopkins as being a 12 round fight.

but serious question .. how are fights like the above for example

and Trinidad/Jones and even the upcoming Dream Fight in December

all 3 are not championship fights of any kind .. yet all go 12 rounds

why?

is that some kind of bootleg "PPV deal" to make the fights feel more significant .. cuz I thought 12 rounds were reserved for only championship fights.

Because the powers that be, can. But I can tell you this, none mentioned gets KTFO in the 1st round. This is why I love boxing....

It's a sham when major fights are only scheduled for 12. i think they should bring back 15 for the really big ones. Then the PPV would be worth it even if it is bum boy Fatton.
