I made this thread last night when it was 1st announced, look be4 starting threads, that is all

 

Boxrec?

 

I'll go against the grain here and predict a Hopkins late T/KO. A strong counterpuncher is one of Pavlik's achilles heels, and Pavlik has never dealt with any fighters as awkward as Hopkins. I think the fight will be ugly as sin, but Hopkins will consistently land the more effective punches, and his upright style will leave him prone to being nailed on the chin. The 175 pound version of Hopkins is probably the hardest puncher Pavlik has ever faced, and he's certainly the most accurate puncher he's ever faced. Eventually the accumulation will add up.

 

I find it amusing, but everyone has a different list. No?

 

Of course, but Hopkins' days of pound for pound are past, and Kelly hasn't done enough yet in my book. He's certainly not top three as boxrec are claiming!

 

oh no...

 

Beat Taylor twice who beat Bhop twice. Kind of a linear title.....

 

Hopkins and Pavlik. They are both in the ring magazine p4p top ten.

We all may ***** and moan about this fight, but the main reason they do it is for $$$$$ - Hopkins is a big name that the American public knows well, This is to build up Pavlik's name so that he can be a potential big money maker one day..... ITS A BUSINESS - which does make things annoying at times.

 

pavlic will UD


he will win on workrate

 

I think Hopkins looked solid against Calzaghe. I don't think Pavlik is ready for someone as wily as B-Hop.

That said, I hope Kelly knocks his ****ing head off.
