Bernard Hopkins will beat Kelly Pavlik

[steaway]

I believe Hopkins will get a contraversial decision to go his way. It wouldn't hurt Pavlik's career but after when Bernard loses he comes back big

[CountryBoy]

Bernard is 43 years old, Throws one punch at a time and slows down considerably as the fight goes on. Pavlik will be Pavlik and stop Bernard late.

Bernard will try to pot shot and might get one or two or even three in, But then again if Bernard does not get fouled out from headbutt, elbows and holding....He will get knocked out, One thing you don't do with Pavlik is get tired and not throw back.

[Spicoli]

Pavlik will be one of the most naturally strong,sizable and engaging fighters Hopkins has met to date.Hopkins must take risk's and realize this is his sunset last hoorah fight,tomorrows are not guaranteed.Grey beard Hopkins can not just coast on past accomplishments,glory and try to time Kelly out over 12. Imo,Bernard can/could/should/might take Pavlik deep in many different ways but Hopkins must put hurt on him....early and follow up if he wants to win.

I Am Very Excited About This Fight. I Like Pavlik And Bhop Is My All Time Favorite Fighter.

[Youngblood]

No he won't.

[Scott22]

i'm going with pavlik

[armin]

If pavlik was a throw one shot at a time hoping to end a fight kind of guy hop would have a good chance to win. Thing is though pavlik has a great workrate and most of his punches have mean intentions behind them, and bhop these days doesn't do much especially as the fight wears on. Hop's crafty and he's going to make pavlik miss some and probably block a lot of shots but enough are going to get through to hurt hop a few times, I don't think hop gets stoped he'll find a way to stay on his feet but in the later half of the fight won't be that competitive and pavliks going to win it something like 8 rounds 4 .

I am gonna chuck my money on B hop for this one, I think he has taken this fight because he sees something very beatable in Pavlik he needs to step up the work rate and after losing so close to Joe I think he will

B Hop UD

[CFH]

To me, this fight smacks of the old boxing cliche where the aged, once great fighter hangs on for too long and gets stopped in his last fight by a younger fighter he once would've handled.

[Pugilistic]

Hopkins has the tools to beat Pavlik.

His stamina may be his downfall for him in this fight costing him a close decision loss.

Pavlik will not KO Hopkins.

[LeonardW12Hagler]

I agree he won't get the stoppage but I think Pavlik will win comfortably on points.

[donnydarkoIRL]

If there is a stoppage it will be a Hopkins retirement.

[SigmaMu]

And yet another crafty, cagey veteran I am not a big fan of Hopkins and I have not enjoyed him since his fight against Trinidad back in 2001 which I have to admit was one of his most exciting fights to date. However this is not the same fighter he was back then. If anyone can stop B-Hop, Kelly should be able to do it but will he? I don't know one way or the other but I am hoping Pavlik does his thang. How long can this dinosaur continue to fight some of the best fighters today at his age? What did Jack Loew say about the old dog? Let me put it to you this way, Kelly Pavlik has never been in the ring with anyone like Hopkins and I think it has been a long time since Hopkins has been in the ring with anyone such as Pavlik.

[Dark Lord Al]

Pavlik outworks Hopkins for late stoppage / points.

[JT Rock]

Pavlik outworks Hopkins for late stoppage / points.

Those are the only 2 outcomes I can see
