    Hopkins will probably be a hefty favorite.

    However, anyone got the feeling this is going to be one of those where the guy who got the "robbery" wins in more emphatic style in the rematch?

    I'm not expecting Pascal to win a landslide, but I think he will make it clear this time, I just get that feeling from rewatching the Hopkins/Taylor fights, and also at his age theres the risk of hopkins not really showing up

    i'd be surprised if hopkins is favourite mainly for the reason your suggesting pascal will win the rematch which i agree with :good

    Don't know about him being hefty favourite at all. I got 3/1 on him winning on points in the 1st and went in big so was obviously gutted about the result!" But i remember fury being a decent favourite in the rematch against mcdermott even though he was robbed in the 1st fight. I don't think bookies look to much into previous performances just the results in rematches

    B-Hop will not be a hefty favourite.

    This.

    There is no way that B-Hop is a hefty favourite, I don't even think he will be the favourite.

    I'd have Pascal as the favourite, but not by much.

    see what the odds are

    i wouldnt be surprised if pascal wins, his work rate was appalling and what cost him the win, surely he'll be able to up it just a bit which would get the job done

    well aware its easier said than done vs b-hop but he only needs to do just a bit more i reckon

    It's a difficult one to call in my opinion and I expect the odds to be really close come fight night.

    Hopkins should have got the nod from the first night but I think you have to bear in mind that Pascal was awful then. Surely he can't be any worse this time? How about another draw??

    Hopkins has a knack for making people look awful. And I expect him to do so again.

    He deserves the distinction of being the oldest ever world champ.

    I'm going with Hopkins by decision. I could see a SD being a possibility. And a UD in favor of Hopkins. Not sold on Pascal. I expect the odds to be decent for Hopkins, and Pascal will be favorite.

    Hopkins in rematches usually applies a gameplan (excluding taylor). Pascal did drop him twice and hurt him when he wanted to. Value definitly in backing Pascal especially in Canda.
