Comments Thread For: Jean Pascal Talks Roy Jones, Hopkins, Heavyweight Run

[ADP02]

That's a huge call bro.

I got Nard by ugly soul-stealing UD, in a performance more closely aligned to the Pavlik fight than the Jones debacle.

The only question here, is how much Hopkins has left in the tank.

Pascal does not fight like Pavlik.

In fact, in a way, Pascal did to Dawson what Hopkins did to Pavlik. So this shows that the young Pascal can listen to his corner and implement the game plan.

Pascal should win by UD.

Pascal does not fight like Pavlik.

They are nothing alike, almost polar opposites.

It is obvious what kind of tactics Bernard may have to resort to in order to counter Pascal's speed. I don't think that this will be a very pretty fight.

I was more meaning the mental edge that Hopkins will have.

The edge that he had against Pavlik, but did not have against an even shot Roy Jones.

He will be more confident, and exploit Pascal's inexperience, just like he did with the one-dimensional Pavlik. Pavlik could not adjust, but Pascal has better movement and more options than Pavlik did, so we shall see.

In fact, in a way, Pascal did to Dawson what Hopkins did to Pavlik. So this shows that the young Pascal can listen to his corner and implement the game plan.

But can he adjust if the gameplan doesn't work, or if Nard adjusts and starts feeding off it? Especially under pressure, when Hopkins takes him down to the basement?

This could be the kind of fight where Pascal wakes up the next morning and still has no idea how or why he lost.

And when he looks back on his career in hindsight, it may occur to him that getting up at 5am was never as easy after the Hopkins fight

We will see how much Hopkins has left, because that is the determining factor in this fight. We would not even be discussing this a few years ago.

Bhop needs to win by stoppage. or Canada is going to pull a Bute- Andrade incident again
