looking forward to tonights fight for one reason, whoevers win will please me, i cant really stand hopkins and would love to see pavlik Ko him, but on the other hand i am one of the few who believes that pavlik is greatly overated and hyped, no doubt Pavlik is great, but hes far from unbeatable, so whoever wins will please me:nut P.S prediction Hopkins UD
flux? i would look like a solid come forward fighter if i only fought my sister and her friends. Pavlik has not thought anyone of real significance, fair enough he beat jermaine but was nearly stopped in the first and lost the second fight IMO. not only that, pavlik has not fought anyone as awkward as hopkins, he is as sly as they come, just look at what happened to joe calzaghe, he is about as attacking a fighter out there is he not? people will realise tonight that joes performance was not that bad when they compare it to pavliks tonight. watch this space :nut
I also think Pavlik is overated on the back of 3 decent wins against 2 decent opponents but I still think he'll beat Hopkins.
I tell you what, I'm really starting to doubt the intelligence of all these boxing writers. We come out with all this tactical stuff etc but when one of those yank "experts" get asked who they think will win all they can say is that is Pavlik's youth will win the day and "Hopkins is 44 now". Clueless twats.
Damn right. You look at the match up closely and it's pretty much 100% certain that Hopkins wins on points. They don't seem to have a clue.
I went for Hopkins UD, but nowhere near as convincing as that. I have never been taken in by all the hypetrain for Pavlik - the general forum will be burning to the ground!
