    Hopkins looked at the dawson pascal fight and saw that pascals biggest shot was his right hand.
    Hopkins will be looking to neutralizing that right hand and turn pascal into a one punch fighter, the question is "how well will pascal jab and left hook bernard?"
    pascal leads straight in leaving himself vulnerable to counter punches, and so long as hopkins stays on the inside i doubt pascal will be able to land on Hopkins

    ^thats basically hopkins gameplan, but im not he will be able to pull that off.

    It's so hard to go against Hopkins in this one, even though he's so old. If Pascal can set a high workrate for the whole fight, he might win it with that alone, even if he's getting outboxed.

    The cynic in me wonders how come Dawson was champ for so long and Hopkins (to my knowledge) never looked for that fight, but now goes for Pascal.

    Then Pascal wasn't a big draw yet... Now he's the #1 LHW, WBC, IBO and Ring champion and he's the guy that beat Dawson. Prestige, money, and B-:hop probably sees it as one last big payday with a decent chance to win.

    Pascal's best shot is by far the left hook.

    He's got a great right hand. I'd say (I've seen all of Pascal's fight) that his right hand is pretty leathal.

    **** it. Hopkins by decision, exploiting Pascal's lesser defense, getting the better of him on the inside, and winning the battle of right hands. Guarantee we will see Hopkins go to the floor though - not on a knockdown, but after a borderline low-blow or rabbit punch. ****'s gonna be real ugly.

    The real Jean-Pascal never loses. The Jean-Pascal you might see who's not the real Jean-Pascal can lose though. So it depends which Jean-Pascal shows up that night. I hope for Jean-Pascal that it's the real Jean-Pascal who shows up that night, else Jean-Pascal is going to get a real wooping, if that's a real word...
