I picked Pavlik by TKO against Hopkins. BAD BAD Call. I seriously underestimated the skill of a living legend like Hopkins, even if he is 43. I made the call because of how invincible Pavlik looked in his last fight and how gassed B-Hop was late in the fight with Calzaghe. It was shocking.
I picked Pavlik to Ko Hopkins!! What was I thinking!! Based on what I Previously saw of both Hopkins and Pavliks previous fights.
Cotto over Marg Bhop over Palvic is the latest wrong choice.. I hope i'm wrong on DLH over PAC I'll be happiest when I'm wrong on this occasion!
i picked bell to hammer adamek...thought tarver would outpoint dawson...picked miranda on pts over abraham in the rematch
I made a bad pick when I picked Jermaine Taylor to defeat Pavlik in rematch. I made a bad pick when I picked Pavlik to KO Hopkins. I ain't pickin' on Pavlik no more.
I picked Pavlik by points. I thought Bernard would start slow, letting Pavlik get a rhythm and dig to the body early: Pavlik's best body shot is a right straight, and Hopkins doesn't lower his left early, as he seems to wait untill he's gotten both the speed and timing of the other fighter down. I also believed Hopkins would gas late.
It would include Pavlik steamrolling over an underrated Hopkins, Margarito over Williams, Mosley over Cotto, Soto against Guzman, Kessler over Calzaghe, to cite a few. But most of the time, I tend to go for the safer picks: Margarito late TKO Cotto Margarito over Cintron II by TKO Pac over JMM II JMM over MAB UD JMM over Casamayor Calzaghe over Hopkins
