Pascal will win with work rate and youth similar to Taylor/Joe. This would be a major upset if Hopkins pulls this off, even bigger than his victory over Pavlik.

two to one for Pascal now, that's more of what I expected.
Pascal can't win. Even if he beats the boring old fart he won't get hardly any credit and if the boring old fart makes it ugly, which is a cert, the score will be close with the boring old fart convincing dozens he was robbed.
Well for what it's worth I have a coworker dropping $50 for me on Hopkins in Vegas. I'm banking on Hopkins spoiling at least 7 rounds for the win.Quote:

i think hopkins has finally bitten off too much for his own good. jean pascal is going to beat him handily by decision. hopkins is going to do alot of holding but pascal is too fast and young for the ancient hopkins.

Hopkins will make Pascal fight the way he wants him to fight and deviate from his own gameplan.
Pascal will not be knocking Hopkins out but if the Canadian gasses late on like he did against Dawson and Froch then I can see the old man giving him some shakey moments. The deciding factor for me is location. I can see Pascal taking a decision even if he doesnt deserve it. Hopkins will protest but nothing will be made of it because of the negative way he went about the fight. Holding and spoiling wont have got him any sympathy when teh decision goes against him.
Here's a funny Steve Morrow related video.Quote:

Pascal needs to be more active than Hopkins, i think he will, but will he be able to touch Hopkins enough to hurt him ? Pascal tends to be wide in is punches, Hopkins might be able to close the gap, hit a few punch and hold Pascal...
The refs in Quebec usually gives the fight to the busier fighter - I think it will be a very close Decision unless Pascal k.o him.
Holy fucking shit! They're charging $69.99 for the PPV here. What a joke. Who would pay that?
