      Hopkins has seen something in Pascal that he knows he can exploit.

      Don't be suprised if he wins this one.

          Bhop by brutal one-sided beatdown. Pascal will have fun hitting air and gloves. Lets see if they try to rob Bhop on the score-cards in Canada. Or is this fight taking place in America?

            Pascal is very defensively vulnerable and Hopkins will know just when to move in between his wide shots and another factor is that Pascal isn't a high pressure guy like Joe C so he won't wear the old man out.

            They both most likely will be cautious picking shots and the only thing that Pascal has to trouble Hopkins is speed but he isn't nearly as skilled as Taylor was who threw a hard, straight ,and very accurate jab in doubles and triples.

              Another guy that doubts Hopkins that will eat crow after B-Hop makes Pascal look sloppy moving in angles around him and chopping him with short hooks and straight rights, all night long.

                I'm definitely buying this one.

                I think Pascal will seriously press the action and it will turn into an unexpectedly amazing fight.

                It has strange-outcome written all over it.

                  i am not questioning his courage...I'm questioning his wisdom.. unless he is ready to cash out of the game, this fight is all wrong for Bhop

                  Taylor? Both of you are thinking about and referring to the closer to prime Bhop.. This one, as I have been kindly reminded, is going on 46. Cash out fight.

                    ...as for doubting Hopkins, I actually picked him to win over a flatfooted, slow, one dimensional Pavlik.... But Pascal is an entirely different animal

                      People continue to misjudge Pascal as unskilled. I don't get why, the guy is one of the most dynamic in the sport.

                      He will make Poopkins feel his age.
