How many of you chose Pavlik to beat Hopkins?

[inferno]

That was the most surprising outcome I've ever seen in a fight. I thought that Kelly would out work him and put him down but not finish him. Funny thing, Hopkins was praised for his complete domination, but others who dominated in similar fashion are criticized.

Be honest, I know what many of you guys thought. So the question that now arises is why will you not give him credit after choosing him to lose, and even get KOed?

I pick pav to beat hops, but i ain't mad about it.

I did.. To be honest I didn't think old Bhop could take Pavlik's punches. I lost mad loot that night too. All props to Bhop.

Except no one has dominated him like he dominated Pavlik.

I picked BHop, based on Pavlik being totally flatfooted and requireing his jab to be a rangefinder.


Thats way to easy a style for someone as smart as BHop not be be able to negate.

Edit.

Actually just looked at what i said. I said that pavlik couldn't handle anyone with lateral movement because he rely's on his jab so much.

I thougt Hopkins would be outworked. I give him credit for taking on and beating an unbeaten champion who others (read Calzaghe) seemed to avoid.
I was suprised with his workrate and how he made Pavlik look like a nobody. It was a great performance and im glad to have seen it. It put a smile on my face to see him execute it and stare down the journalists after the fight.

Why should Calzaghe, a light heavyweight, fight a middleweight??

I can't lie after seeing what Pavlik did to Edison and Taylor, I thought he was going to wipe the floor with B-Hop. I can remember clearly being in the Casino watching this fight in complete shock because Hopkins not only won he beat the hell out of Pavlik.

I had Pavlik winning by brutal KO so I was very wrong. Watching the fight as it progressed was just awesome. Watching that old dog schooling a pup was thrillingly awesome.
