Hopkins Predicts a Blood Bath

And he'll ***** about the decision to Kellerman after the fight. 100% guaranteed. Pavlik's output won't completely overshadow the regular flush and clean rights that Hopkins lands. But it won't be enough but Hopkins will think that it was enough.

 

It's not necessarily a matter of how many. It's more a matter of flush hard right hands which will land with some regularity all set up by Pavliks quick and stiff jab. Trust me by round 4 Hopkins will have felt Pavliks power and felt it several times. The difference will be how well will Pavlik adapt to Hopkins after Hopkins changes his tactics once being stung. I think he adapts well, may take a round or two but Pavlik dominates this relatively easy. Pavlik just beat a better and faster fighter in Jermain Taylor, it would be silly to pretend otherwise

 

B-Hop has predicted knockouts, wars and blablabla in all of his fights since Taylor I. He talks a good game but he doesn't have the stamina anymore to even dream of fighting in a true war.. For starters he would need to throw at least 60 punches per round and not punches while holding or clinching his opponent...

 

id be very surprised if hopkins eats many pavlik jabs and right hands..calzaghe enjoyed more success when he shortened his punches even then he landed very few flush shots on hopkins..pavliks a range fighter and wont have the mid to long range or inside game to land too many flush shots...i expect bernard to just walk him side to side stop him setting on his shots lots of head movement to stop him establishing his jab and just pick him off when he can whether it'll be enough to win the decision i dont know

 

More like we're going to be subjected to a 'bore bath' with Hopkins hug and hold style for 12 rounds.

You forgot to mention that while he is bitching to kellerman he will mention the fact that he is 41 years old at least 5 times as if being old gives you a handicap in the scoring.

 

Pavlik won't allow it.....which is usually the case in a hopkins fight, the opponent allows it to happen

 

I've been trying to make this point. Watch the Cal/Hop again. Joe met Bhop half way which allowed for the clinches.

 

Hopkins is shot and not worth the 50 bucks it will cost to see him foul his opponent. Last fight he was looking for a way out if Kelly starts landing look for Hopkins to try foul himself out of the fight. This fight is a insult to the sport.

 

Definitely not a bloodbath.. I think Hopkins might be a little too much for Pavlik, but I think Hopkins will definitely respect Pavliks power.. I don't know if this is a good move for him or not.. Is it for the money or his chase for Calzaghe..?

 

Hopkins will do everything he can to stop a fight breaking out.

 

This might be true. :yep

. . . . because if the old man get's hit with one solid punch and he can't run anymore . . . I can see him swimming in his own blood. :deal

 

I'm glad to see Hopkins has lots of confidence. But thats what you should expect out of him

 

Since Hopkins has never been cut as a pro, you'd have to think he's saying he's going to bust up Pavlik....

 

He does, but he better bring it this fight. The Hopkins that foguth Joe isn't gonna cut it
