Let's put in this way - Hopkins hasn't pressured anyone in years yet was able to make Pascal stop fighting after the 4th round. Cloud brings a whole 'nother level of pressure.
Not that much but if I have to root for one fighter in this fight, its Pascal all the way. Pascal is a local fighter and I think its important to support him to regain a title.
Question of popularity, maybe if Pascal learn to STFU he can make even more money. But the guy is not the most likable face around....
This should be a body building contest, both to muscle bound imo. I think Cloud takes it though, close points.
This is bad management on Pascal's managers. He needs some tune up fights and not get thrown right up with the elite.
That would be another good promotion in Montreal but not to be expected as a blockbuster. JP has gained popularity but not that much and I am afraid to say that based on his two fights with Hopkins, he is to be overpowered and busted up by my man Tarvoris. Speed kills and that may go for fast-mover, flashy skilled Pascal but Cloud hits you to rip your head off. This will be something like JP losing to the stronger Carl Froch.
