What if Pascal knocks out Hopkins ?

[HattonTheHammer]

i`ll eat my own shit if hopkins gets knocked out

hops greatest performances have come on the biggest stage of all, his worse have been fights that have never warranted much attention

he wont make the mistake over those first 4rounds and i predict we will see an absolute master class that sees hopkins taking a comfortable decision

Unless they let Pascal bring a baseball bat in the ring, Hopkins won't get knocked out, he's too crafty, got too good of a defense, and a solid chin.

But if Hopkins should get knocked out?

I wouldn't be surprised.

It happens to every fighter that carries on for too long at some point.

i say he gets a lot of credit, because hopkins hasn't exactly looked his age, far from over the hill, pascale gets lots of appropriate props for such a feat, but i doubt it happens, hopkins reminds me of yoga, tricky old man, he looks old as shit, but once u put them gloves on, he moves better than some guys in there 20s

I would be more shocked than when Jones got KO'd. We had never seen Jones hit very hard because he was so damned hard to hit and he had just had to shed a lot of muscle too and looked the worst he had ever looked in his career in the first fight vs Tarver just a few months prior.

We have seen Hopkins hit a good few times now and we know he has a solid chin. He is fighting at a very comfortable weight for him right now and has not shed any muscle like Jones did. It could be that he gets old at once, he's certainly more than old enough for that time to come, I just don't see it. If anyone gets KO'd in this fight IMO it would be Pascal. Realistically I see Hopkins UD.

Watch jones vs toney again, there is a part where toney turns al the way around and lands a flush wide right hand....and jones shakes it off...he has taken good ones, but tarver was there at the right time, you can easily tell by jones body, and the way he threw punches, he was no longer the same man.

Sorry I know. I should have actually said Jones was very rarely hit very hard. My mistake. I don't actually think Jones was chinny before the HW experiment.
