I actually think Hopkins is still capable of turning Pascal over. Only problem is he'll make it a horrible fight to watch in the process.
could this be the fight where hopkins turns into an oldman in the ring and get's KO'ed
I got a soft spot for hopkins. He shook my hand in vegas a few years back.
Pascal wins this for me comfortably.
This is going to be one hell of a borring fight imo. I think b hop has enough tricks in the bag to beat pascal tho. If pascal fights at the pace he fought dawson it will be perfect for hop and play right into his hands. Anyways not a fight I want to see and really hop should retire just because his skills definitely are diminishing and his workrate is crap.
I think people are taking too much away from Hopkins for the Roy Jones Jr fight not realizing that while a lot of what Roy may not be effective against guys with high outputs anymore, that he was still a wiley old fuck with a lot of tricky moves, and Bernard for a lot of it matched that trickery. It's something that most of these new guys can't replicate except maybe Andre Ward. It's totally different because of these other guys haven't learned the core principles to make them highly effective in any situation. I think its largely due to the amateur system in boxing, but also guys who are highly athletic are forgetting that it doesn't hurt to be creative and innovative. They tend to fall into the pragmatized aspect of the sport.
Hopkins by UD. Pascal is a rugged fighter. Dawson somehow exposed Pascal's weakness in last couple of rounds and Bhop will use that blueprint.
OK, if Hopkins can muster at least 3 4 minute breaks in the action then I actually think he is going to beat Pascal. Unreal, I wonder what the odds on this will be.
Key to beat Hopkins: Win the early rounds by throwing a lot of shots and avoid the grab or it'll be the freakiest acting show ever.

That's the way it is, not the way it ends
Not sure i want to watch this. Pascal is on a roll. Hopkins will do anything he can to spoil the fight.

P ascal is a moron for even taking this fight!!!! A fight with Bute could have been made for sure if they worked at it!!! A fight with Bute would have been BIG BIG money and possibly the biggest fight in the history of Canada!!!!
A loss to Hopkins will crush that fight...It can still happen but the money won't be there
Hopkins will use his patented fouling, spoiling, counter-butting style to take away Pascal's workrate and bore his way to a disputed decision. I'm not sure who will win, but I'm sure it will be boring and ugly and I will once against be praying for Hopkins retirement.

Hopkins by decision! Damn...and I was ready to see my main man Tavoris Cloud wreck the shit out of Pascal!
I think this is one fight to far for Hopkins I hope there is good odds on Pascal he will be to active for Hopkins with it in Canada as well looks good to me.
