IF Roach doesn't corner/coach Bhop against Pavlik, will you switch your pick?

    Honestly my pick is Pavlik, but I'm not confident as of now. In truth I don't want this fight to happen.

    No because what can Roach really teach Hopkins at this stage ?

    Hmm.... I know he didn't seem to listen to Roach in the corner, but did he during training?

    Don't know ..Considering Hopkins has been doing this for yrs I wonder if its more of a favor on Roach's part ..

    The corner has nothing to do with what's gonna happen to B-Hop. Pavlik will make him look old instantly !!

    B-Hop just need's someone to give him water, wipe him down and attend to his cut's if needed.

    Other than that, At this stage Hopkins prob don't need a cheif corner anymore.

    I have a feeling that Pavlik is in for a bad night.
    B-Hop's experience is gonna shine BIG that night.

    I'm slightly leaning towards Pavlik right now, due to activity, but if I were to pick Hopkins, it would not be based on Roach being his trainer.

    There is still the 'coach' aspect.

    I agree, the corner does not make any difference. Even if Hopkins should never be underestimated, this will be a tough night, fighting such a young strong fighter at this stage of his career.

    1. Please get rid of that ***goty avatar, that ruined my breakfast.

    2. Pavlik destroyed Hopkins' dad.

    3. Old Man River will age overnight in this fight. And the end will be as ugly for Bernard, as Bernard's ****ing face is when he puts on his fright wig, to dress up like Aunt Esther for Halloween.
