The Official: Jean Pascal vs Bernard Hopkins {DISCUSSION THREAD}

[paulf]

He may get on a PPV undercard, or a BAD Undercard. He will not headline or be an undercard of WCB or headline BAD.

Dude, the whole reason GBP signed him is to build him up then use him as an opponent. He will be headlining as an opponent against Alvarez or Ortiz once he moves to 147.

sounds ok, i wasn't gonna bet on this fight because there is too much volatility imo.

Its not that I think Hopkins is actually good, its just that he knows how to STEAL fights he doesn't deserve.

Pascal should win though.

What's funny is, I see Pascal as a fighter that tries to steal fights.

Hopkins tries to control fights, look at his record and the actual fights, he wins 99% of the rounds. The only time he tries to steal a fight is when he's not able to control an opponent. When he isn't comfortable.

Pascal has a ton of talent, but after his last few fights, his tactics are predictable and stamina suspect. You better be pretty damn talented to defeat even this version of Hopkins being predictable and having suspect stamina.

If ****mm is as good a game planner as I think he is, Hopkins is gonna win easily. The key to Pascal is timing his rushes and counter punching or taking a step back to defend and jumping on him right after he's done, Hopkins has the ability to do that. Pascal has no idea how to fight on the inside either, so there's 2 different tactics where Hopkins can neutralize Pascal in the eyes of the judges.

Plenty of variables that can end up in the decision of the fight, but I don't see a KO. I can see another Tech. Dec. or .1% of the ref possibly trying to DQ Hopkins.

Nah, they got him, so he can draw crowds to his fights in the Barclay's Center in Brooklyn. GBP has a partnership or deal with the owners and will provide them with content for their new arena.
