B Hop interview(very good read)

[El Gamo]

Whilst B Hop is awesome at shutting fighters styles down,I don't think he has what it takes to beat Kelly at this stage of his career. Sure,he'll be wiley,sure,he'll use his head,his old Philly tricks etc but Kelly throws alot and he throws hard. And if you don't have something to keep him off with,sooner or later,you're going to get hit and hurt.

And yeah,obviously B Hop must be jealous,he struggled and looked average v Taylor for 2 fights(I thought he won the first but results are results,it wasn't a robbery),whereas Kelly just KTFO JT out.

Hopkins does such a good job of keeping his chin tucked that it is next to impossible to knock him out. He's so crafty and so good at knowing just how far he can bend the rules and get away with it that I could see him mugging Pavlik and taking a decision. It'd be an ugly fight, but it would not shock me. I could also see Pavlik winning just by being busier, but I don't see him (or really anyone else) KOing Hopkins.

yEAH sure,I don't think Kelly would knock him out but work rate and he would land at some point=win.
