Casamayor has looked God awful in recent fights and against Katsidis was put clean out of the ring. He got completely schooled by Santa Cruz and looked shit even in winning the belt against Coralles three years back.
You can't even compare him to Hopkins, he was just done, like Morales.
Hopkins has never come close to being knocked out and more importantly boxes so carefully he doesn't get caught in a situation where its likely to happen.
My guess is Pavlik won't land a hard damaging shot on him all night but will win through workrate alone.
I expect Pavlik to be caught flush at least 3 or 4 times in this fight though and will likely have a couple shaky moments.
But Hopkins ain't getting knocked out by Pavlik, not even close. Hopkins is just one of those fighters who doesn't get knocked out. If he's hurt he'll spoil and hold. If Pavlik gets hurt on the other hand.........
