    His energy and activity level is ****ing amazing tonight.


    We havent seen him like this in years.



    If he would have been this active in the Taylor and Calzaghe fights, he never would have lost them.

    He's probably still pissed from the Calzaghe robbery.

    Great fight so far from B Hop but still a few rounds to go.

    if you disagree, why dont you explain yourself instead of using a stupid emoticon



    look up the punch stats for those fights and this fight after its done and see the difference in his output

    I don't even think it is that. It's what pavlik can't do or isn't doing. He does not have any speed. And he has to be set to throw his best punch which he depends on too much. In the countdown B-hops trainer said they were going to naturalize his best punch just like tito, his right hand. And that's exactly what he did with all the tricks in the book and that great moveemnt. RJJ beat B-Hop because he was faster, had greater natural abilities and could hit him from multiple angles, he had trouble with cal because hey he throws a lot of punches and is faster than b-hop, he had trouble with taylor because taylor has more speed and was more active. Activity and speed is whatbeats b-hop, Pavlik doesn't have these. Even if he somehow KO's him in these last rounds, a prime b-hop destroys him, utterly destroys him.

    Hopkins is an amazing fighter. He seems so close to being the type of fighter that goes beyong boxing but at the moment hes not. He is so close to becoming very popular because he is producing in a positive light. He doesnt drink, he doesnt smoke, he just dedicates himself to his sport and proves that with that type of devotion, anything his possible. Hes ana amazing fighter, win or lose this fight and he seems to be building quite the resume as of late.

    Hopkins was very slow to start in the first Taylor fight. Still started slow in the second. He started out fast in the begining of Calzaghe and did well but his output dropped soon afterwards. In the later round when he put together some combinations, he still landed really well against calzaghe but overall he just didnt throw enough.

    In this fight, he has been extremely active since round 1 and has maintained that throughout the fight. Something he didnt do in those other fights, and had he done that he would have won them.
