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

[Hulk]

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?

I picked Hopkins to win the first fight and while I'm tempted to do the same...I think Pascal will eek out a decision. I think he'll steal the early rounds with his explosive outbursts(whether they land is a different story) then Hopkins will come on but it'll be too late.

to El Terrible Morales,

If you look closely I said it would be Hopkins with the greater endurance. Experience and everything else will kick in after he weathers the storm or maybe he'll just avoid those early attacks by changing his game plan to sticking and moving so that the later rounds Mr. Pascal will be sucking wind just as I predicted in not so many words. I am sorry you saw it the other way next time I will explain things better. My bad.

Two Asians and two Europeans have been assigned by the WBC to work for the May 21 rematch between light heavyweight champion Jean Pascal and Bernard Hopkins at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Judges are Rey Danseco (Philippines), Anek Hontongkam (Thailand) and Guido Cavalleri (Italy). The third man in the ring will be 48-year old Ian John-Lewis (UK). The 46-year-old Hopkins aims to become the oldest man to ever win a championship in boxing while Pascal is looking to retain his belt plus win the vacant WBC Diamond belt.

Im concerned about the judges in this one. 2 of them are very inexperienced. Cavalleri is the only one who has credentials to judge a fight for a lineal championship.

The fight will be repeated on sky too.
