I didn't see the countdown to Pavilk/hopkins how did Bernard look in training?

Totally agree:good
I wish B-Hop would win this fight. And if he does I wish he would retire and leave the sport after that. He will be greatly remembered as the LEGEND but knowing B-hop even if he wins he will stick around and wait for opportunity to fight Jones or God knows who else. Beat the Gost and retire Champ!!!:happy

 

lol, you're talking about avy's?????? Hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahaha..lol:rofl atsch :nono

 

lol...:rofl

 

Thanks for the link, man!:good:good:good

 

Anybody else think B-Hop can keep this close and maybe squeek out a win @ 43?

 

Is that what you really want to see? Time for Hop to hit the pasture & concentrate on promoting. This is the new era of Kelly Pavlik, who is just coming into his own.

 

I don't really care, i just want to see the fight but i expect Pavlik to be exposed badly in this fight even if he wins.

 

Great video, thanks. Pavlik is preparing for the Hopkins fight by....................playing darts with his friends in the social club :huh

He sounded drunk too.

 

Not even close. As usual you're talking out your ass with out regard to facts. Arum used to promote Marquez, has a good relationship with Raul, and refused to do anything to stand in the way of Raul's title shot. I guess he wasn't expecting Arthur's "sick bed" strategy.

 

They showed some clips of Hopkins throwing 5-6 punch combinations. Too bad he won't throw any of those in his fight with Pavlik as he will conserve his output with one punch at a time. OK, maybe once or twice in the fight.

 

At least Hopkins spoke of what he's doing in training and whenever they focused on him it was all about the fight and what he thinks of it. Hopkins is focused as usual, working his best and training 100%, they also showed a short footage of him with two of his team members watching Pavlik's fight and talking about his right hand.

What upset me is when they focused on Pavlik, there was nothing worth mentioning there. I mean they did show his family, his gym and stuff but never said anything about his training and how he looks at this fight. All they said is that Hopkins never fought anyone with his power and strength. The only half decent line I caught from his trainer was that they know Hopkins will look better early but as it goes to the 5th or 6th he will be ready to take some of Pavlik's punches and deal with his work-rate. Apart from that his trainer went on to show three children visiting the gym and labeled them the "future". Didn't get much from this countdown compared to the rest.

 

Why wouldn't he throw them?, Pavlik doesn't really have a great defense for Hopkins to be confused enough to back off nor does Pavlik have any serious speed.
