Jean Pascal vs. Bernard Hopkins rematch on HBO May 21st

[Pavlik]

age will catch up on bhop, Pascal might just outwork him in explosive spurts.

i think pascale will make the mistake of coming out a lil to strong, and hopkins will capitalize

[chinchekked]

I hope that BHop whips him but I believe that it will be a close decision. I think that Pascal will shoot out early and try to take him out early but Hopkins is too smart to not see this coming. I am sure that Pascal's camp has him prepared to pressure Bernard and make him fight at a faster pace while not gassing himself out. I am curious to see how the fighters adjust their stratagies in this fight.

In he first half of the fight Pascal could win by KO but he runs out of gas after that so I have it like this, unless he misses his chance for a KO in the early half, Hopkins is going to kick his ass unless Father Time shows up and says to Hopkins, no mas.

i don't know how you figure that, both KD's in the first fight aren't any indication to this, first one wasn't even a real knockdown, and the second one was a flash knockdown and Hopkins wasn't hurt in the slightest, if anything i think B-Hop hurt Pascal more than the other way around especially in the later rounds

Want to know how Pascal would throw Hopkins off completely. If he came out using his jab and trying to counter what Hopkins does instead, making Hopkins lead and trying to counter him and digging to the body whenever he tries to hold. Hopkins SAYS he's gonna come out all guns blazing, but he's smarter then that. Hopkins is hoping to wind Pascal up and survive the early onslaught and hoping that he tires late so he can take the decision. If Pascal comes out and makes the first few rounds close by boxing Hopkins or using his jab and then starting to come on in the middle rounds, it asks more of Hopkins to have to take the fight from him. Do the opposite of what he did the last fight, box early and come on late instead of coming on early and HAVING to try to box late cause you're gassed.

Thats an original idea, but I think Pascal is one of these guys, like Jermain Taylor and Antonio Tarver, who ALWAYS gas in the later rounds. They are full of nervous energy and tire themselves down the stretch damn near every time.

I had the last fight a draw and I was shocked that Pascal didn't press the action to try to fatigue Hopkins. But I guess that is who he is.

I guess I'll bet with Father Time and guess Pascal by decision, but I have no conviction I'm right, just a belief Hopkins has to stop at some point...right?
