I can't say I'm surprised Pascal is the big favorite in this bout, but 16/5 is a bit too much I think.
If I was a betting man, I definitely would! If we, the fans, can spot the obvious flaws in Pascal's performance against Dawson, I'm sure Hopkins and Nazim have too. They've taken this fight without bothering to think twice.
I think ima make a small bet on it. I just don think Hopkins will get a decision in Canada against a young up and coming possible star.
When did Hopkins ever lose a hand picked fight? He wanted this, not Pascal, he wasn't forced to do this. I think him and Nazim have figured out something, I mean hell.. why take the fight in Canada? They seem pretty damn confident. :think At +320 anyone who has followed the sport gotta like it.
I am mistaken, Pascal did want it. Pascal is young, hungry and strong.. he wants to fight anyone and everyone. But Hopkins taking the fight without question, and even in his opponents back yard, tells us something.
Hopkins is taking a gamble. He probably figures that Pascal size is better for him than Dawson's and who else is there for him to fight and make money? Even HBO didn't want this fight and not because of Pascal. So Hopkins is taking this fight to re-establish himself as a money-maker. But it's not an easy task and I don't think he'll win. For the simple fact that Pascal is stronger than him and won't stand in front of him.
Everytime Hopkins is supposed to lose he pulls one more good win out of his ass. Those are great odds.
there's no point betting the outright odds since there's no way in hell Hopkins is gonna stop Pascal. If you're gonna make a bet on Hopkins, no need to go outright.
great odds....but hes up against a hometown guy and i just dont know if hop can be active enough for the judges to justify him winning in a champs hometown...hes going to have be thoroughly dominate
