Slightly annoyed over that as I had £25 on Lebedev KO. But more annoying I spent thelast 3 rounds frantically searching the web to put a cover bet on Huck points but couldn't find one doing in play betting!
Despite landing some decent right hands Huck fought poorly. Looked unwilling to engage and why the **** was he often circling to his right against a southpaw?:huh
just put a tenner on hopkins points at 11/4, and a tenner on pascal, KO, TKO or DQ 4/1 bet pascal wins points now :yep
I want to watch the Pas/Hops Undercard. Peter Quillin won by 1st round KO he threw Chocolates out to the crowd at the end This content is protected
How did Hopkins look against Jones? I never saw the fight but was he looking old? A fresh guy like Pascal might just have too much for him.
Yep he was pretty **** against Jones. I still don't think he'll get stopped but I see where people might be coming from. If Pascal had work-rate on top of his speed and okay(wouldn't exactly say devastating) power it would be more likely. But Hopkins is going to be wily enough, defensively sound enough, to see off bursts. It's going to be a cagey type of fight too, not an intense one I don't think.
I think Pascal wins easily but I don't see Hopkins getting stopped. He's still too smart for that and as TFFP says Pascal is neither active nor a big enough puncher to do the job. Plus it would be a big mistake if Jean Pascal's main plan in the ring is to try and hurt Bernard Hopkins. People have been trying to do that for a decade now and if people like Tito, Pavlik and de la Hoya can't hurt him, then even at 45 I doubt Pascal can. So long as he boxes smart and uses his footwork as he has recently, he'll outpoint Hopkins to a wide decision where Bernard looks poor and shows little effort to turn the fight around after he gets clearly down on the scorecards.
