Pavlik vs Hopkins...Only Ten Rounds

[Jody Lane]

Those 2 rounds are going to make a big difference for Pavlik; guy is going to be in it tough the whole fight and those last 2 rounds should be where he can use his youth to his advantage stamina wise.

This is not going to be an easy fight for Pavlik, and a 10 round fight would not have helped in any way{unless he somehow ko'd Hop in that time, which I don't see happening}; glad that's not the case. He needed those 2 rounds in his rematch with Taylor and he'll need them in this one.

Those last two are critical. That could mean the diffrence between a loss dicision for Pav or a a loss by knockout for Hopkins.

i can't see hopkins winning sorry

10 rounds?

What's next. They going to throw in hand rails?

If its a 10 rounder B'Hop might throw more punches knowing that he wont have to go 12 rounds which mite make it a better fight.Just a theory anyway.

The answer we were looking for is headgear, the next step is headgear.

It doesn't matter if it is 4 rounds Pavlik will get him out of there.Too much size,power,speed and his defense at this point is just as good as B-Hop.

Where is he getting the speed at? I mean old Hop will be quicker, especially early.

and detachable ropes so Hop doesn't have to struggle climbing over them.
