Bernard Hopkins will beat Kelly Pavlik

[USA LOVES THE KLITSCHKOS]

Hopkins will not win but he will make it as ugly as he can.

[Wayne]

There are too many variables to say that the fight will definitely be one way or the other. Hopkins is old, but still has a bit of the pepper. Pavlik is probably the hardest puncher he's ever faced, but his defense can get porous and Bernard can make any fight ugly. And that's the part that makes this fight most difficult to score. Hopkins' defense is still very good and he will find himself on the inside as often as he likes where headbutts will come into play. Pavlik has shown a tendency to get careless and a well-timed punch can put him on the canvas. If Hopkins could let his hands go more often than not and still be defensive-minded I would give it to him, even at this age. But he's more than likely going to be highly economical and score with a few really good punches and cruise to a decision loss.
