Just looking forward to hopefully see a good fight in favor of Pavlik.

I'm looking forward to the pre-fight b.s. from Hopkins mouth:

"I'll never let another white boy beat me"

it's an interesting matchup, to be sure. at the same time, my gut feeling is that it would be better for boxing, and perhaps also pavlik, to just stay in his class and (try to) clean up. why risk the damage of going up in weight, other than for the dough?

LOl
What is funny is that he hired two white boys to help him win this fight. Hopkins is trash and I hope the ghost really puts a hurting on him

Hopkins could take this.

He's cagey.
Kelly relies on volume punching when he can't KO the opponent and Hopkins specialises in tiring guys.

But IO hope Kelly takes it.

I hope Pavlik wins so Calzaghe gets to work him over but as the fight draws near i will probably get sold on Hopkins crap.

I'am looking forward to see how Pavlik handles the dirty tactics of B'hop.

**Poom** · 07-29-2008 11:30 AM

I reckon B hop is too experienced for Pavlik, I would guess hopkins would be a heavy underdog so good money to be made here i think

**Tins06** · 07-29-2008 11:36 AM

He's mad. B-Hop is such a cagey bastard, could be disastrous....It's also a shame to think the referee may have a bit outcome on the fight (Joe cortez-cunt)
