Hopkins has the tricks, defense and style to frustrate the hell out of Pavlik. I just don't know if he has the stamina to keep up with the pressure Pavlik will put on him.
Its gunna be target practice for kelly, pavliks got a proper jab aswell he can land at distance setting up bigger punches. Look at what jermaine taylor did to hopkins. Because he had a proper jab, he landed it at distance, setting up bigger punches. Joe calzaghe didnt keep his distance, he came in like an amatuer trying to ***** slap the hell out of hopkins, came in sissy fighting. Whatever slippery tricks hopkins trys, like bouncing off the ropes to land headbutss its just gunna make it easy for Pavlik to counter.. it could be difficult for pavlik but he should adapt to him pretty quickly....Hopkins is too old to be fighting pavlik, hes gonna end up brain damaged
43 year old Bernard Popkins last Nine opponents: Ronald Wright, Antonio Tarver, Ronald Right, Jermain Taylor x 2, Eastman, Oscar De La Hoya, Joe Calzaghe, Kelly Pavlik. Nice one Bernard!
