As far as predictions. We can only take Hopkins at his word. ANd he has promised two things for this fight: He is "gonna be in Pascal's ass." And Pascal "could die in this fight." Not necessarily in that order. He is "gonna be in Pascal's ass." This one qualifies as a pre-dick-tion.
Hopkins should be the favorite for a lot of reasons. But something makes me feel that Pascal will pull out a victory. I don't think either fighter will get stopped, but Pascal, being the front runner that he is could very well score some early knock downs and build up an insurmountable point lead.
Hopkins by UD on all three. hope its a just decision either way. but pascal will never be and isnt better than bhop(even an old bhop)
