Thread: Pavlik Vs Hopkins Poll

I believe Hopkins will come out and throw his one punch a time and hold tactic while leading with his head, This with doubt be a rough fight for both. Hopkins is an ATG, But he is weathered worn and his stamina has left him. He is not the same fighter he was a few years ago..Hell he's not the same as last year.

Pavlik is focused and will be well prepared for Hopkins and I honestly see him stopping Hopkins in the later part of this fight... So whatcha guys think?

Pavlik by stoppage. Asswhipping but Hopkins never falls fight is over by the 9th round. He goes out on his feet like raging bull.

i see pavlik knocking hopkins out cause he wants to make a statement against calzaghe. but i say around the 9 or tenth round we will see bhop begin to fade badly and then pavlik hands him that 2pc combo meal KFC style original recipe of course

I actually voted for Pavlik to stop Hopkins but I actually change my mind to winning a decision.

I think at this stage Pavlik is a deadly combination of busy and strong and Hopkins will be surprised. Hopkins will make it ugly for a few rounds before Kelly's workrate gets to him.

I'll be shocked if Hopkins gets knocked out...

Im pulling for Pavlik but i think the old man may sneak a dec.

as no one else seems to have gone for hopkins im going to go for him tko 11th round, this is not something i would put money on tho haha

Ive gone for Pavlk by decision but had it been at middleweight I would have gone by KO at this point in Bernards career.

I see Pavlik winning a close SD/UD over Hopkins.

Hopkins has a good chance though.

I'm going with Pavlik, he's young, he's strong, he's big....it won't be easy for him but he'll get a KO win.


Those crafty right hands of Hopkins are my only worry....he's sneaky and follows through with his head a la Evander Holyfield

Pavlik retires Hopkins.

Agreed. Close but I see it going to the cards. Hopkins is too good a spoiling and I think will avoid being caught cleanly. Will probably just have to survive the last few rounds though.
