Freddie Roach Fears For Hopkins Life In The Pavlik Fight

[Taeth]

I might add that both Winky and Calzaghe put a lot of Pressure on Bernard, and the important fact is they couldn't land solid shots. If these two accurate guys with great timing, really good speed can't land on Hopkins, why would somebody assume that Pavlik can? I think Pavlik is very similar to Trinidad in many ways in that he can box, and he has power, but I believe that movement like Hopkins will really trouble him.

Pavlik can do to him what Jermaine Taylor did. Outwork him. Pavlik also hits harder than Calzaghe or Wright, and over time, that will take a toll on Hopkins arms and shoulders. That will give Pavlik a chance to land a big one in the late rounds. Also, Pavlik won't gas like Taylor. I'm fairly sure Hopkins fans will see this fight for Bernard, but I suspect the judges will see it for Kelly.

Bernard said himself

"Bernard Hopkins won't retire, until he gets beaten in the way people want to see Bernard Hopkins get beat"

I guess he means he's not leaving till he gets knocked out.

I'm pretty sure Pavlik is going to retire him.
