    maybe even forces the judges into a DRAW. Pretty certain there is little chance he wins a decision in Canada and I don't see him knocking Pascal out. I wish there was a points prop on 5dimes but there isn't. That tells me something. The books feel this will be a razor thin close fight too.

    Might take a stab at the Hopkins WIN or DRAW prop.

    When has BHop ever been dominated in a fight, of course it will be close, it'll be ugly, it's going to be slow, it's going to be a Bernard Hopkins fight, which obviously favors Bernard Hopkins. I believe Hopkins can win, he "shouldn't" win, but I feel like it's a strong possibility.

    I got a problem with making up my mind, i can get 4.25 odds on b-hop decision and my original tought is pascal ud im starting to switcha bit.
    Problem is this, hopkins doesnt ahve the stamina and actibity to win rounds convincingly. he has 1 minute per round stamina after a few rounds so it may get close but all close rounds wont go to him, he is old and the judges and ref are a problem, ref from canada will not allow b-hops dirty tricks that much, candadian jduge and the corrupt belgium guy will score close rounds to pascal. So how does hopkins win convincingly when you look at his last 2 fights and know how he fights and what pascal brings?

    There won't be a draw. B-Hop is winning this fight.

    very valuble points.....i dont think hopkins has the work rate either, i think its going to be an ugly fight, but i think pascal will win by ud, but who knows, if hopkins is real slow and takes too many punches, he might get stopped with a tko in the later rounds(like 10...)...but i dont see hopkins getting ko, pascall ud seems very likely imo

    LOL. I bet $1 to win $17 that this fight ends in a draw. If there was a fight where this could happen, i would say this is about as good as any.

    :good

    Couldn't agree more. I can see Hopkins winning the fight and the judges coming up with a bailout DRAW as the fight is in Canada. Just watch.

    Considering either the DRAW at +2600, Hopking WIN or DRAW at +170 or Hopkins +6.5 points at -140. Thoughts?

    He has never been dominated but each year he gets older and older...the is sure to show up at some point can can spell domination...

    Once he tires of course...

    Hopkins will not win in Canada unless he A. Dominated, or B. Gets a KO.

    He hasnt doninated any young light heavyweight EVER

    He hasnt had a KO since Oscar many years ago.

    Factor in his dirty tactics that could get him point deductions, and Hopkins has very little chance of walking away with a decision, even if he wins one or two more rounds.
