    I can't help but find this fight interesting, probably because I can't make my mind up on the outcome. Who wins and how?

    I'm thinking Pascal on points in a damn ugly fight.

    Don't really see how Hopkins can win this, especially in Canada. It'll be a messy fight but Pascal should get a comfortable decision 117-111 something like that.

    That's a good article mate. Pascal definitely seems to know what it's about and it's refreshing to see someone so honest and respectful at the top of the game.

    Hopkins on points. B Hop will spoil effectively and pick up the rounds for as long as his energy lasts. Luckily for him I don't think Pascal's stamina is that great. Unluckily for him the fight is in Canada so he will have to win 7 rounds clearly IMO.

    I am not even close to being confident about this though.

    Going for b hop. Close one, but think he has one big one in him left. Pascal tries to go to war, but b hop negates him coming in and on the inside. I just don't see jp beating at distance with a masterful boxing display. If jp lands enough bombs to let him be effective up close then who knows, I'm just not sure

    i think pascal will be looking to do a job on him, whether he can or not i dont know but i definately pick pascal to win........i think! Hopkins seems to have some voodoo about him.

    The closer I get to this fight, the more I think that Bhop will lose big. Pascal is a smart guy in the ring and he'll know he has to fight at a fast pace and be as active as he can which he can do.

    Bhops age as finally truly caught up with him I think, I predict its going to be a sad fight to watch. Hopefully I'm 100% wrong, Pascal is a cool guy and a good champ but it'd be great to have another epic Bhop moment to remember. :thumbsup
