Jean Pascal vs. Bernard Hopkins

I think Hopkins matches up pretty well with Pascal. He seemed not to take Jones seriously, and Calzaghe was too busy for him at that point.

But Pascal poses a lot and has a poor defense. He also may not adapt well to what surely will be horrendous in-"fighting."

This is going to be a **** fight, but if I had to guess I'd say Hopkins beats him. Cheering for Pascal, though. Would enjoy seeing Hopkins KTFO and retired by a dude with a fruity accent.

 

Pascal on points.

All this BS about stretcher this and stretcher that is stupidity at its finest.

 

Pascal UD

I'm wondering why some guys here believe B-Hop making this a spoiler fest (what's probaby going to happen), will win him this fight.
If the fight is a hard to score stinker the verdict will very, very likely go to Pascal, because he fights at home and is the champion. And I can't believe Hopkins is going to get away with all his tricks over there... I expect a lot of warnings and even point deductions if B-Hop takes it too far.

The only way I can see Hopkins winning this is by;
A) Him having a "clear moment" (like demented people in retirement homes), and Pascal having a bad night of his own.
B) Knocking out / stopping Pascal, but the last time B-Hop did that was back in 2003 !!! (NO I'm not counting the ODLH bodyshot!).

 

Hopkins will have to work hard to get a decision in montreal. the city has showsn corruptness in the past. but overall i think it will be an exciting fight. i think b hop will win. dont know if the judges will agree though.

might even hit the fight up . mot sure yet. but bhop will suprise alotta heads im sure.

 

I don't know who will win this fight, but I have to give an edge to Pascal.

 

Pascal W 12, but I hope i am wrong

 

I think Hopkins will spoil him and snag the decision.

 

Rule number one, don't bet against Hopkins. Hopkins, has master skills and a great Technion! I like Pascal but Hopkins is a Legend.

 

i think Hopkins will eat Pascal's right hand. No chance Hop will counter Pascal's 1-2 as Dawson did in 11. No chance Hop can match Pascal's foot speed.
mb Pascal wants too grab Hopkins bc he dont want to fight inside.

Dont know about Hopkins chin. So if he cant take Pascal's right hand as Dawson...
KO may happen but UD is most likely. And dont see Hopkins wins this.

i was sure there is no way Pavlik can hit Hopkins. And now i im sure Pascal will land.

 

Rule number two, unless he's a 45 year old going against a 28 year old...

 

Funny to think BHop could be Pascal's father. Well, technically.

On the other hand, Pascal wants to be RJJ's cousin style wise... a poor man's Jones Jr he is.

 

I think he actually is. We covered that in another thread........

 

See?
