I don't think the fight will be a blood bath, perhaps he is just taking upon himself to try and sell the fight. He does it fairly reguarly. If Bernard Hopkins pulls out the victory, like I believe he will, I wonder just how significantly his stock will rise. He is an under-appreciated fighter.
If Bhop brings his a game its gonna be a good fight. Lots of shoulder rolls and lots of right hand counters.
Yeah this would be the first time a fighter promises action and delivers a snooze fest. This will be like any other hopkins fight. Ugly with lots of holding and turning and moving. Pavlik having too much trouble landing and hopkins throwing too few punches for this to bea good fight.
Bernard Hopkins is lying. You know what's hilarious? After his fight with Winky, when Kellerman was interviewing him, Hopkins actually said "Boxing is BACK!" because of the "show" he put on against Winky. :nut
Sadly for some, Hopkins will throw roughly 20 punches per round and land half if he's lucky. The blood will be coming from his face after recieving so many jabs and right hands from Pavlik he'll probably be begging for a left by the 4th round
