Enzo Calzaghe on Hopkins vs Pavlik.

[southakron314]

Gary must not hold himslef in a high regard obviously .

I can see where Enzo is coming from though when he says Hopkins has different plans. Pav looked pretty straight forward vs Taylor the 2nd time and Joe who has a brilliant boxing brain and workrate barely got past Hop. I think Nard may steal the fight with Pav by a bout a round or two just on experience.

I cannot see it. I see his only ticket to winning is by knockout early or cutting Pavlik up, which he can do. If he does not, Pavlik will get into the fight, throw his usual million punches and simply outwork him. How much Pavlik lands will not matter. If you got a guy that is 4X as busy and who fights full three minute rounds, it will be hard to out point him.

Joe throws alot more punches than Pav . He even landed over 100 more on Hopkins according to the stats yet still alot of people thought Hopkins won

Maybe arm punches and slaps. Pavlik throws about 80 - 110 a round. Real punches from all different angles.

Pavliks punches dont come from angles he does what he does very well but he has no footwork and because of that will struggle to find a solution to Hopkins holding.

You dont need awesome footwork when you are pushing a guy back. You want to plant your feet and swing.
