Best chance of a KO Saturday, Hopkins or Pascal?

[$Bullsfam$]

Yeah I gotta agree with the majority that Pascal has the better chance because he can hurt B-Hop behind the head or side because he don't take those shots well.

I'm laughing that Pascal wants claim PED's because B-Hop got up hahaha

Who has the better chance of KOing the other? Discuss

I said Pascal just because Hopkins is no longer a Knockout fighter, but it isn't going to happen. Hopkins has never really been hurt in a fight let alone close to being knocked out.

This fight will go the distance with Hopkins coming away with a Majority Decision.

I've never seen Pascal so passive as he was against Hopkins from round 4. Credit to Hopkins for coming back and taking control of the fight and dictate the pace of the fight. If Hop is able to do the same thing this time around then I can see him forcing a stoppage in the later rounds....an exhausting Pascal up against the ropes and can't defend himself anymore.

Pascal has some good power, but he needs to let his hands go more. The fearless version of Pascal who takes risks has a good shot at knocking out the old man...but only time will tell if Hop allows Pascal to fight the way he wants.

even though i'm rooting for bhop, if a ko was to happen, it'd be from pascal. bhop is the older fighter, who was knocked down in the first fight, and hasn't ko'ed anyone in a whileeee.....i don't think a KO will happen though.

pascal's tougher than he might appear


he's gone the distance w/ froch, dawson, diacanu (not a world beater, but a man willing to come forward who is durable and strong,) and hopkins


i'm of the believe that pascal would have remained at 168 had he not lost to froch as well



bernard's never been stopped obviously, and i don't think pascal's the guy to do it
crazy as it seems, bernard, at 46, can still take punches, even if he cant take them as well as he used to
and he knows how to hold and take breaks anyway because of his legs
so he will know how to weather a pascal storm


i will say this
bernard looks more and more stoppable every time he fights
and his body WILL give out on him if he continues to fight
he's 46 years old
i cant even wrap my head around that

hopkins has never stopped anybody at 175, but he did hurt pavlik at 170 and tarver and he dropped calzaghe
he's not really a finisher, though. if he hurts an opponent he puts the round in the bank and takes a break
but if he hurts pascal i believe he will at least try to get him out of there, if for nothing else bernard believes he was robbed in his last fight and would go for the stoppage because he'd feel like he had to

He didn't go the distance with Dawson, it ended in a technical decision.

As for knocking out Hopkins, it's not happening. Yes, Pascal knocked him down twice in the last fight, but they were flash knock downs that didn't hurt Bhop (not to mention the first one should not have been ruled a knocked down because it came from a rabbit punch). Bernard has never been close to getting knocked out let alone been hurt in a fight so needless to say Pascal won't be getting the KO win come Saturday.

They can both take a punch and they can both **** when they want to. I think it's pretty even. Whoever gets the cleanest connect could take it.

Pascal sucks, he can't KO Hopkins
picking Hopkins by UD
but if anyone gets a KO, it will be Hopkins
