Maidana wins tonight, Hopkins wins next week.

I think you're wrong on both.

 

i see them both losing bruh

 

well if you're confident put some money on it, great odds

 

Khan will win so will Bhop

 

Khan wins.

But I agree with Bhop.

 

I would like for Maidana and Hops to win.

But my brain is telling me Khan Ud, my heart says Maidana KO5.

And I believe Hops will get the decision over Pascal. I don't wanna see Pascal lose, I like the guy, but I just think Hops will pull out the upset yet again.

 

B-Hop will be send to retirement next week :yep

 

Khan TKO
Hopkins decision of sorts.

 

I see Khan as having twice the chance to win because I think he is the only guy who can win a decision in this match. And he's also capable of winning by knockout. Whereas Maidana can only win by knockout, though he has as good a chance as anybody to do it, given his heavy hands and Amir's shaky beard. BHOP has very little chance, imo. He has almost no chance to win by knockout because he hasn't knocked anyone out in six years, let alone a top light heavy that has never been stopped. And at his age out-pointing a young speedy fighter IN HIS BACKYARD on the cards...terribly tough match-up for him that I will kiss his ass shamelessly for winning if he can do it at this age.

 

The fact Hopkins is taking this fight tells us one thing for sure; he knows how to beat Pascal. Whether he still has sharp enough tools in the box to carry out his gameplan, remains to be seen.

I think Pascal is being over-rated a bit now. I think Dawson would beat him in a rematch if he comes in at his best and lets his hands go. Pascal got out-boxed by Froch afterall and I think his 'significant' improvements at 175 are being smoke-screened a bit by that Dawson fight.

I don't think he's going to find it easy to counter or flurry in-and-out against Hopkins. I expect Hopkins to establish the timing on his jab that will prevent Pascal from stepping in with flurries all the time and counter him when he does step in, aswell as joining him inside, initiating clinches and trying to take away his foot-speed with subtle bodywork.

 

Khan wins and Hopkins loses for me.

 

most likely :good

 

I'm not overrating Pascal, but I saw BHOP/RJJ II... Frankly, BHOP I'm sure "knew how to beat Calzaghe" also, but it didn't work. You don't have to out-box a man in his late forties. You don't have to have effective aggression, as the Calzaghe fight demonstrated. You just have to do more. And the likelihood that Pascal will simply do more, even if it's not particularly impressive-looking (as it often isn't against BHOP), it will more than likely get him the W in his own backyward. I do think Dawson SHOULD have and COULD have beaten Pascal and I have the same opinion about a rematch, but he didn't and might not if they fought again. That seemed more like a mental glitch from Dawson to me than Pascal doing anything unbelievable and great. Although, I like Pascal, yeah, he may get overrated or whatever.
