Did Bernard Finally Go "Over-The-Hill" With The Hopkins-Pascal Saga?

[texasboi15]

Just re-watched Hopkins vs Pascal 2.

Magnificant performance by the legend Bernard Hopkins.

The push-ups before the 7th round was an epic and timeless moment.

But was it Bernard's last hoorah?

Upon closer observation as I was watching the fight for the 2nd time, I noticed a few subtle signs of slowing down from Bernard for the first time.

Pascal in these 2 fights hit Bernard as clean and hard as i have ever seen him hit before.

During the 4th round of the 2nd fight, Pascal caught Hopkins with a counter shot that prompted Kellerman and Steward to agree that it was the hardest shot Bernard has ever taken his whole career!

Again in the final round, Pascal connected with a shot that wobbled Bernard but was unable to capitalize on it much to the dismay of Kellerman and Steward who felt Pascal "let Hopkins off the hook."

The HBO analysts (and myself) agree Hopkins has never been that hurt before in his entire career.

Factor in the 2nd knockdown of the 1st fight and the question arises:

Nah that was the Jones rematch

Dude he's been showing signs as far back as his fight with Carl Daniels. Of course he's going over the hill, but I still think he has 1 or 2 more great fights left. I'm putting points (and cash) on my man to continue spanking boxing's next generation.

[Larry the boss]

Hopkins is using more mentality than physicality these days

[BoxingGenius27]

I think so.

Call me crazy, but I've predicted Dawson to stop Hopkins.

Pascal knocked Hopkins down 2-3 times and had him extremely hurt during their 2nd fight in the 12th round. Had Pascal pressed the attack, it would've been over.

You're crazy. Let's bet some points brotherman.

Haha I'm low on points, I don't know if I can match you that department. But let me know how to bet points on here and I will gladly oblige.

You designate a number, any number of points you're willing to gamble. We put it in our sigs, something along the lines of

" 500 billion points that Dawson >>> Hopkins with Spiegelo "

And when Hopkins spanks Dawson all you gotta do is delete the signature so that nobody knows you doubted BHop making history once again, and then send me the points through vbplaza. And likewise if Hopkins loses I'll make good and pay you. I always follow through. And if you believe firmly enough that Dawson will KO BHop, I'll give you 4 to 1 odds. So if you bet all 500k and he does indeed pull it off, you receive 2mill on fight night (or shortly after as I will need a couple days to cry in my basement).

How convenient for Hopkins to suddenly become shot as he lines up to be defeated by BCD.
