    Does Hopkins actually have a shot at Pascal?

    Seriously now, does he? I keep hearing how Hopkins is old and past it, his last fight he didn't look good but he still easily outboxed Roy even if he is over the hill... Or is Hopkins treading on thin ice at this current time? has age really got to him at this stage? Is he really that shot? Let's not forget he beat a LIVE Pavlik in 2008.

    I think Pascal will overcome the nitty gritty Hopkins will put out to win a UD.

    should be a good fight. its not wise to bet the house on pascal but hopkins will probably gas against pascal in the later rounds.

        He will make the fight ugly, will try anyway. Yes hes got a shot, I dont think he will win if Pascal fights a smart fight and uses his speed and movement. Think its finally retirement time for Hopkins.

          He's got a shot if he can keep his energy up and keep the fight ugly to smother Pascal. He has to move and pot shot. If he tries to make it an athletic fight and trade, he's done. He needs to keep the fight slow, sloppy and miserable, and wait for chances to counter so he doesn't have to punch often.

            Moby was never "live", he was a bolt upright, SLOW, European-style fighter that was a gift to Bore Hard.

            I predicted that Bore Hard would pick Moby apart and got to suck my own **** afterwards.

            Here? I'm not so sure. I think Bore Hard will make Pascal look bad in spurts, but his declining workrate will harm him.

              I looked @ Pascals NAtal chart, if hopkins can confuse him Pascal will fold like a cheap lawnchair.
