December 18th with be the last fight of Hopkins' legendary career

I like Pascal - but don't see him winning this fight.

BHop will use the young boy's aggression against him win another fight - they say he shouldn't win. My money's on the old man.

 

I agree with this. Pascal surprised me a lot in beating Dawson but lets not forget that carl Froch handled him rather easily. Hopkins has a chance in this one,

 

I am starting to think that Hopkins will not be KOed. Sure, the referee might decide to put him out of his misery, but it won't be a KO. Moreover, I think it's quite likely that Hopkins can make most rounds competitive and give Pascal a hard, ugly, close fight that goes to the cards. The referee will be more important than the judges, though.

Pascal SD/close UD 40%
Pascal wide UD 15%
Pascal TKO 10%
Pascal by DQ 10%
Pascal by KO 5%
Hopkins SD/close UD 15%

draw?

 

Shave 1.5% from Pascal SD/close

 

Good article :good
Hopkins will school him!

 

Hopkins knows he cannot go the distance, and I can't help remembering what he said following the Pavlik fight that he would no longer fight a "safe" fight against opponents but instead, go for the KO.

What would be the results if Hopkins won this fight by KO?
I know that it's been awhile (DeLaHoya) since HOP has won by KO, and he didn't try hard to KO Jones, but what if he executes as he said he would this time around? Hopkins certainly still has enough power to KO opponents, it's just the safe style he fights, nit sitting down on his punches that inhibits him from doing so.
What if?

 

He picked foreman over cotto. I dont always agree with him but its always nice to hear him break fights down and analyze it.
