    I really hope so! :yep

    This guy has mastered the act of holding, grabbing and fouling to push his opponents out of their comfort zones.

    I have that feeling, i like both fighters though so the result doesn't really concern me.

    hops was so negative against calzaghe.

    but calzaghe does have that speed and awkwardness to his style that makes ya wary to commit.

    pavlik is more straight ahead and that may make hops a little more eager to counter.

    pavlik on pts. :bbb

    I think Pavlik will make a good showing.....He'll throw his jab with authority and should also throw some good body shots from the onset....Nard will make it interesting but I think Pavlik will land more and throw more punches in bunches....People underestimate Pavlik's handspeed....and it's not little pitty pats....

    To answer the poll's question

    B-Hops mind is one of the main reasons why he is still so sucessful.....

    hopkins walks the line we wish all fighters would. Don't mistake confidence and balls with stupidity.

    styles make fights. I think B-hop stands better chance to beat Pavilk than He had against Calslappy

    Pavlik may win, but it's doubtful it will be easy.

    Hopkins is good at covering up, but he is taking this fight out of pure greed, and that's all.

    pavlik can't fight inside. hopkins knows it. thats why he took the fight. he knows he can beat him. me on the other hand, thinks hopkins is too old at this stage of his career.
