Hopkins will beat Pavlik

This is a fight where Pavlik could look sensational or like a total novice, more likely the latter.

 

Agreed but its still looks good for him for taking the challenge ..As long as Pavlik doesn't lose like a Lacy he will be fine .

 

Well knowing Hopkins fans: even if hopkins loses, you all will still say he won...

Pavlik has two high of a workrate for Hopkins....

 

Sorry but that workrate will get nullified by Hopkins stragedy ..Anyone who's ever out worked Hopkins had speed on their side with Pavlik this is simply not the case ..

 

Beat, no.

Maybe run around the ring, throw 10 punches a round, put the entire crowd to ****ing sleep. Win a bull**** fight if it happens. If not, then ***** nonstop about the scoring.

 

its possible and hopkins do have a great chance of beating pavlik up to this point..

 

Yep. Pavlik won't rush in with his head down begging to get decked on the way in.

 

Yeah, I've noticed Pavlik leaves his hands down by his waist most of the fight....:-(

Pavlik has sound fundamentals and has been working on improving his defense.
Why does it bother so many people that it works for him? No Flash = No Good? :huh

 

I also think there's an excellent chance Hopkins wins this fight.

One of the 'adjustments' Calzaghe made against Hopkins was to shorten up his punches. Palvik is already 'ajusted' when it comes to that. I just watched the fight again last night. So, Pavlik has an edge that it took Calzaghe 3 rounds to find. Jsimps has also said that his camp is aware that he still occasionally leaves an arm out after a punch and they are working on that. In the meantime, is Hopkins working on his punch resistance? :-(
