BoxingScene Predictions: Kelly Pavlik vs. Bernard Hopkins

[Mr. David]

There's a reason they fight the fights. Same reason they go on and play the football games.

I never mind being wrong when I get to see a performance like that...I felt near humbled at ringside tonight, That's what great looks like. Honor to be there.

Hopkins the legend

This is crazy. Now I know why Hopkins stared the media down after the fight. He had everything to prove. And that was that a man pushing mid forties could still take a young champ to school. Mostly all of the predictions had Pavlik winning. Hopkins defied odds and proved that he is a legend and will go down as one of the greatest fighters ever.

By Rick Reeno - Later tonight at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, WBC/WBO middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik (34-0 30KOs) will rise to the agreed upon catch-weight of 170-pounds to face veteran Bernard Hopkins (48-5-1 32KOs). At age 43, Hopkins is 17-years older than the champion. Pavlik wants to put the executioner into retirement, and Hopkins wants to tame the young lion. [details]

So Anorak got this right whereas 8 to 1 of the BS staff ****ed up?

Wow.

[Abstraction]

Total count (I think),

Pavlik: 24
Hopkins: 3

Damn....8 to 1

Looking back at this thread and the article, everyone thought Pavlik was going to beat Hopkins, maybe even by stoppage.

Wow, had no idea it was THAT much

[REMOVED SHARK 99]

The relevancy of bumping this is astonishing.

[Larry the boss]

amazing when you look back on this

[Jloro]

lol what a gem

[FrankieClutch]

Wow. I remember picking Pavlik to be the first guy to KO Hopkins. Boy was I wrong

[ИATAS]

Legendary night.

It's too bad for Pavlik and Calzaghe that Calzaghe blatantly ducked Pavlik. Who knows how their careers would have turned out.
