Comments Thread For: Hopkins: I Will Leave Canada With Jean Pascal's Belts

[Iceta Lives]

I don't see Hopkins winning this fight unless he stops Pascal even though I think Pascal is average as far as quality as a fighter goes. This is really unusual for Hopkins willing to fight outside of the country. Only time he has that I know of is when he fought Mercado.

I dont think this will be an easy fight for either. Hopkins can no longer pull a "Tito" win on this one. Maybe a Pavlik but if he look like the one in the 2nd Roy Jones fight, it will be a long night for him. Win or lose, I'll be rooting on my man B-hop.

B-Hop will just close in on Pascal and make it an inside fight, make it a dirty fight and win by KO!

yep I see this happening often. Honestly physically Hopkins hasn't looked very good in his last 2 fights. Looked great against Pavlik but he looked almost soft against Andrade and Roy. He needs Shilestone back in his corner and should look for a Tarver or Pavlik like performance on this one to win. This will be a tough fight for him.

Bernard really does need to feel spurned, like the world is picking against him to get that fire in his belly. He will need this cause Pascal is fast, with decent punch and is willing to mix it up. Man I hate to see Bernard go out on low note so I'll be rooting for the ol man.

I cant believe they are making this fight. Pascals teams shouldnt underestimate Hopkins and if Hopkins loses people will claim hes shot and old. So other than a siezable payday its a no win situation for Pascal and a risky one. That being said Dawson was supposedly the 2nd coming and Pascal beat him handily so maybe he should be confident vs Hopkins.
