Hopkins vs. Pascal Fight Thread

[killersheep]

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.

Pascal = -250 = 2/5
Hopkins = +190 = 19/10

If Pascal doesn't win this on points, I will fuck HTH in the ass

Pascal by comfortable UD. Hopkins will put up the usual smoke and mirrors but the judges wont be buying it.

Interested to see how Jean reacts to all the trash talk before the fight,common when you fight an American fighter. I knew Jean as an amateur when i was reffing amateur . A nice guy outside the ring made friends with everyone it seemed. He is a lifelong buddy and sparring mate of Froch. If he wins guarantee all the whining about judging and the ref. So, i hope its not close.
