Bernard Hopkins knows how this fight will play out.

"Around the fifth or sixth round, that's when the shift happens," he said. "That's when Oscar's going to make Pacquiao change his style, change his thinking. Fighters have to settle in. Oscar's gonna take a couple rounds to settle in. The first few rounds are gonna be speed, speed, speed. They're gonna try to establish who's gonna be the offense and who's going to be the defense. But I'm telling you, Oscar's hyped up for this fight, and like I told him in Big Bear on Saturday: 'Your legacy rides on this fight.'"
