I'm usually pretty good at this when it comes to B-Hop, I predicted the Calzaghe fight to a tea, other than the official verdict.
What will happen outside of whether flash knockdowns occur, or a surprise knockout (which I don't think will happen) happens, is something along the lines of the Hopkins-Winky fight. Not one of B-Hop's most dominant fights but not the ugliest either.
It will be competitive, Hopkins will dictate the pace pawing with his jab while on the move, sticking Pascal with the occasional right, coming in with his head and initiating the clinch to prevent Pascal from unleashing fast Combos. This will continue rinse and repeat for most rounds with Pascal having some success here and there, throwing the occasional shoe-shine flurry to try and rile up his base of fans to steal the rounds. Between rounds 9 to 12, things will get a bit uglier as B-Hop might possibly lose steam and will start holding more often, this will be Pascal's winning rounds.
At the end, nobody is gonna know for certain who won while waiting for the official decision. It will be a could- go- either- way type scenerio, and hopefully from my perspective:
Hopkins by Split Decision 115-113 hopkins, 116-112 Pascal, 115-113 Hopkins.
Aftermath on NSB: Posters will start creating a gazillion threads talking about how Pascal got robbed. "BOOO, the judges suck" and I will be laughing my butt off. War B-Hop.
