Bernard Hopkins will beat Kelly Pavlik

[steaway]

I Am Very Excited About This Fight. I Like Pavlik And Bhop Is My All Time Favorite Fighter.

No he won't.

i'm going with pavlik

If pavlik was a throw one shot at a time hoping to end a fight kind of guy hop would have a good chance to win. Thing is though pavlik has a great workrate and most of his punches have mean intentions behind them, and bhop these days doesn't do much especially as the fight wears on. Hop's crafty and he's going to make pavlik miss some and probably block a lot of shots but enough are going to get through to hurt hop a few times, I don't think hop gets stoped he'll find a way to stay on his feet but in the later half of the fight won't be that competitive and pavliks going to win it something like 8 rounds 4 .

I am gonna chuck my money on B hop for this one, I think he has taken this fight because he sees something very beatable in Pavlik he needs to step up the work rate and after losing so close to Joe I think he will

To me, this fight smacks of the old boxing cliche where the aged, once great fighter hangs on for too long and gets stopped in his last fight by a younger fighter he once would've handled.

[Pugilistic]

Hopkins has the tools to beat Pavlik.

His stamina may be his downfall for him in this fight costing him a close decision loss.

Pavlik will not KO Hopkins.

Heh, yeah but you could've easily used that prior to any of Hopkins last 5, 6 fights? I mean everyone except Winky pretty well. I really don't know who to pick in this one. Just have such a hard time seeing Hopkins get really beat up though, I doubt that happens. I'd probably think Pavlik would handle him no problem at this stage, if only Hopkins hadn't taken the fight Now I just don't know. Maybe Pavlik is made for him, I could definetly see Hopkins using much better footwork and every trick in the book to win. Actually looking forward to this fight a little bit.
