My BOLD PREDICTION: Hopkins Will Shock the World

[Fulcrum29]

Is insulting Miguel Cotto supposed to hurt me? see when im a fan of a fighter im a little different to you, i tend to NOT want to lick their balls.

Ah I see thank you for notifying me of that distinction.

As long as Pavlik uses his jab, Hopkins really has no chance. Hopkins could win, but he'd have to really take the fight to Pavlik and be willing to take punches and eat hard jabs all night, in other words, he'd have to NOT be Hopkins for the night. I think he will be Hopkins, and lose.

I wouldn't be surprised if Hopkins wins big with this fight. He lost his belt. And he's the type of fighter who'll bounce back from a defeat.

"The Ghost" has to be on his top game that night if he wants to shut down Hopkins.

It'll be a good fight regardless. However, i think that if Kelly overwhelms Hopkins, B-Hop will be doin a lot of grabbin and holding

Thank you, that made zero sense.

I wish he would. I'm a Pavlik fan but B-Hop is alegend and I'd love to see him go out on top.

My bold prediction?

That Hopkins will not shock the world by losing to a white boy again.

Although i agree that Hopkins will win i doubt it will be a ko. Hopkins will need to be active (which he really isnt at the moment), more active than Pavlik to put Pavlik out. and i doubt pavlik is the kind of fighter to go down on a quick early ko despite the taylor fight, so the only other option is a laboured grinding ko on a tired Pavlik. Again Hopkins doesnt seem to be active enough to pull that off, if he does im guessing Pavlik's rise in weight will have played a factor

Christ, Pavlik nearly got KO'd by Taylor. Hopkins put Calzaghe to the canvas, and Calzaghe has an amazing chin.

I don't know why this is such an unrealistic prediction, it's perfectly feasible.

I wouldn't be suprised is Hopkins puts Kelly to the canvas in the fight.

Remember Kelly is moving up a lot of weight...will he carry the speed and power? remember this is Bernard Hopkins were talking about...he makes any fighter look bad and is the master of making you fight his fight.

Taylor at this point hits Harder then Hops. Kel stuck his chin out at Taylor after being caught and got caught AGAIN..
Kel didnt even get layed out..he fell to his knees and got right back up..

Thinking he was almost KO'D is silly..

thinking Hopkins can KO Kelly is even more sillier..

Man..

this actually makes perfect sense..if you have any..
