Comments Thread For: Majeski: Hopkins Won't Perform as Well With Pascal

[LeadUppercut]

He won't be able to perform well at this advanced age. Like he wasn't supposed to perform at the same advanced age he was at virtually 6 months ago? Hopkins is gonna take Pascal to school, if anything, Hopkins will be more effective early on because he knows Pascal's style and tricks now. Pascal has seen about 0.02% of what Hopkins can offer.

I agree man, Hopkins has had a real good look at Pascal by now, and will have him figured out. The better fighter will make the better adjustments. Unless Nard got old in the last few months, he makes history and wins a decision.

ya you make no sense and must not know much about being in the ring...

remember seeing pascal run and exert energy going backwards??

thats because of hopkins angles which made pascal react, when u react u

use more energy

secondly that body work, body work takes out stamina, bhop was landing

body shots, left hooks which were detrimental to pascal and had HIM

RUNNING FROM THEM

never have i seen a champion RUN WHEN GETTING HIT

dont believe me?

go watch the replay, i have 15 times......

his body work wasn't that effective, he was landing a lot on the cob protector, and he's no puncher

what exactly doesn't make sense in my post anyway ?

I believe Pascal started backpedalling when his stamina started to decrease because he spent a lot of energy in the early rounds, and also when he realized Hopkins wasn't going anywhere, he probably broke down mentally, hence all the running and negativity in the ring

Hopkins didn't do anything special or spectacular, he stood his ground from the beginning, and he chased Pascal when Pascal gased

all I'm saying is that Hopkins won't do so well if Pascal stands his ground more and has better stamina

we'll see tomorrow night...

Hopkins has been a champ how many times? He has been boxing for how long? How long has Pascal been fighting for again? I'd say that Hopkins has world's more adaptability and experience than Pascal has. You know how they say boxing is 90% mental and 10% physical? BHOP is already in Pascal's head man, Pascal is so shook, he is accusing old man Popkins of steroid usage. Pascal is weak minded, plus he has the weight of the world on his shoulders and tons to prove. If he loses to a 46 year old man,what happens next? I'm telling you, Pascal is going to get overly aggressive and sloppy trying to prove a point and Hopkins will break him down round by round.

to answer your question, Hopkins has been champion only twice, but he reigned for a long time

and the highlighted part, this is what happened in the first fight actually

if Pascal has learnt from it like he said he has, he should have a different gameplan so we don't see the same scenario unfold again

do you agree to say that Hopkins can't do better aside of the KDs or you believe he can do even better ?

[GodInFleshSuit]

Yeah...keep betting against BHOP, history shows thats not a good idea. De Ja Vu like always. Hopkins is gonna school the **** outta that young punk!

Before the first fight, Hopkins said he was glad to be an underdog, because that's when he performs best. Problem is, this time around most people see him winning.

but you assume that pascal can improve his stamina the fact is he gases in all his fights

he got two knock downs and won the first 4 rounds so he had a 6 point edge and he let that slip because he got beat down for the next 8 rounds!!!!

and hopkins aint a puncher, he had calzaghe down and calzaghes legs were rock he seriously buzzed pavlik at least 3 times!!! and lets talk about pascal and the body shots

hopkins landed a left hook to the body which had him running and sucking it up!!

hopkins can fight better dont get knocked down twice LOL he would of been a clear winner without those knock downs and i think hopkins can hurt pascal to the body similar to the first fight

and look at hopkins he was the aggressor as well pascal ran from him!!! watch the fight again pascal was in reverse mode after round 4!!! WHY because he exerted himself look at the punch stats he hardly threw that many punches in the first round barely averaging more than 30 punches around

hopkins was outthrowing him and outlanding him on the stats!!

if hopkins is hopkins he will win a decision and a possible possible late stopage

All things happen for a reason.

Me-thinks that maybe you under-estimate Hopkins

Hopkins is a jedi master, it all depends on how much he has left.

We would not even be discussing this 5-6 years ago.

I'm not underestimating Hopkins at all, I was the first to say Pascal did a big mistake by calling out Hopkins first time around, it was too big a risk

if he does come out and manage to be even more dominant than he was last time, power to him, but right now, I just don't see it
