In what round will Pavlik stop Hopkins ?

I think Kelly prepares for what BHOP brings. His team led by Jack Loew are still hungry and have something to prove. With Kelly young and a champion, his hunger is still there. It may be ugly, but Kelly trains hard to improve his stamina and not get discouraged by BHOP. He wins most likely by UD or if he starts to break the old man down for whatever reason, TKO 10-12.

 

I think Kelly takes a decision in the end but if anyone gets knocked out here it'd be him not B-Hop.

 

Round NEVER.

 

it goes the 12.

 

Since when has Hopkins showed his age ? Hopkins by UD !! Hopkins is not Lockett ! DO YOU REALIZE THAT ?????

 

He won't stop Hopkins, I'll be more worried about Pavlik being stopped late than Hopkins.

 

The first few rounds there may be a bit of back and forth. By round 5 or 6 Pavlik will find his range, and make it virtually impossible for BHop to clinch or use his rough house tactics on the inside. By round 8 Kelly will find a home for the right hand and start bouncing Bernard around the ring like a little kid bouncing one of those red rubber balls around a playground. Pavlik will stop Hopkins in round 10 or 11. I just hope Pavlik has enough trash talker in him to look right at the camera during the post fight interview and say "Hey Joe, that's how ya beat Hopkins!"

 

Yeah, I jut cant see Hopkins being stopped. If he had to clinch the whole fight, he would find a way to do so.

 

Scar - you know I respect your opinion, but just remember, KP was suppose to lose to Miranda, and he sure as hell wasn't suppose to beat Taylor.

 

Yep. I've stated before, the ONLY reason Joe suddenly hinted he might fight on at 168 is that he is praying Bhop beats Pavlik. Then he can say he doesn't need to prove he can beat him. If Pavlik wins decisively, look for Joe to keep to his one fight and out retirement plan. Pavlik/Calzaghe isn't going to happen.
