I think Pascal will have too much for Hopkins at this stage. I expect a close, and probably rather foul filled, spoiling fight and Pascal will struggle to look good against B Hop.

But I think he will be able to outwork him down the stretch and win a close decision.

I'm sure Hopkins will do a decent enough job negating Pascal's offense to be able to convince himself that he won the fight.

I reckon scores of 116-112, 115-113 and 114-114, so a majority decision for Pascal. Obviously those scores may well see some point deductions also.
