    I Hate To Say This............

    Being Canadian and all................but I'm rooting for Bernard to beat Pascal tomorrow night. Normally, I'd root for the fellow countryman, but Bernard is on the brink of creating some serious history. As a fan of boxing, I really want to see him pull off this upset. He deserves it. Bernard's is a sheer story of rags-to-riches. He's overcome a lot in his life, and has been nothing short of a complete professional as a boxer throughout his career. (Strictly in terms of craft, and workmanship. He's far from a diplomat, I will admit.) I hope he can pull off one more miraculous fight (like against Tarver and Pavlik) and give us fans one more spectacular performance to remember him by. That being said, I do think Pascal should take this one. But here's to Bernard for even taking a fight of this caliber at his advanced age! He is a true professional!

        Oh but I am biased: In favor of Bernard!

        Just kidding. Really, I don't care who wins the fight. But that being said, I favor Bernard slightly just for having the balls to take such a tough fight at his age!

          It's gonna be tough for both of them.

          Home Cooking vs Legendary Name.

          Both have their advantages, but which one will prevail?

                For the health of boxing, Pascal should win and go on to fight in great fights in front of a packed arena in Canada and millions of boxing fans against Dawson and Cloud, but for the health of my pockets and B-Hop's legacy, he should win.

                He has a good shot at it against an opponent he should be able to handle, but crazier things have happened.

                  I would love to see Hopkins get the win also. It would simply further cement his HOF legacy and status. But as stated above when the older generation of fighters win it isnt necessarily the best thing for the sport.
