Hopkins vs. Pascal Fight Thread

[amat]

Wow, seems people just aren't underestimating Hopkins anymore. I wish I could find the thread when Pavlik-Hopkins was made and nearly every single person here was against the fight even being made. I expected a reaction similar to that. If Pascal wants Bute, this is a really risky fight. That place will be great, Montreal is a great boxing city and that's all good I'll ever say about Canadians, especially French-Canadians. Yet if Hopkins shuts down the crowd early, it could really quiet that crowd and Pascal would really feel the pressure.

I think Hopkins takes it buuut his legs in the RJJ fight for the first time in his career imo, showed signs of maybe they were becoming a little less fresh as they had previously. He showed more signs of being an old man. Still, a couple of you hit the nail on the head when you said Pascal wasn't creative enough and that Spicoli can time the right better then anybody. I don't think Pascal has much of a jab or at least one that Hopkins can't completely nullify like he's been doing to better jabbers then Pascal for years. Just a bad fight, what are the odds? Maybe a good bet on Hopkins...Pascal a 2/1 favorite.
