    Over at the scene. As title suggests.

    HBO will televise the show where as last time Showtime picked the first bout up. May 21st Date.

    Dawson will either fight Librado Andrade or Adrian Diaconu

    It's looking likely that Hopkins will venture back to Canada the country in which he felt ''robbed'' him last time out.

    I'm still not jumping on the bandwagon of Hopkins taking it. Pascal shouldn't be cast aside so easily, and no matter how vintage he is, he is getting on a bit and a few month could make a difference.

    I just hope pascal wins again so we can see Hopkins retire. It's doing my head in that the younger boxers see a 45 year old man the holy Grail of their division.
    Move over old wood let the young blood in

    Dawson vs Diaconou or Andrade is a good comeback fight.

    Excellent news. Even better would be dawson vs cloud or shumenov.

    I'll just copy and paste what I wrote in another thread.

    I predicted a Hopkins-UD for the first fight, and I’m sticky by that for the second. Unless Hopkins slows down even more than he already has, I can’t see Pascal doing any better than last time. But that’s the thing - will Hopkins, at 46, still have enough in the tank? That last fight really was his best chance at winning a world title again, because seeing him get decked twice, showed us his days are seriously numbered.

    Hopefully he can defy the odds one last time. Poor guy got ****ed over in December. He deserves to make history.

    I never made a prediction for first fight because the Jones fight left me wondering about B-Hop. I thought maybe the Philly boy has hustled himself a big fight once again. Made people think ''now get him..he's showing his age!''. Then knowing he's duped his man into a fight he then performs like a fresh 26 year old contender. He was incredible in that fight IMO (fitness and speed wise).

    I dunno how Pascal changes his plan from what happened in first fight his speed did trouble Hopkins early but once Hopkins adapted he fell to bits and had no plan b other then get on bike and stay away. Which he seems to do a fair bit after early rounds in fights.

    Not many fighters would of done what Hopkins done...even the great man struggled early but he got to grips with a man who just Launches attacks at any given time. Pascal can go 2 minutes without throwing anything of note then lands two showstealers and gets away.

    Hopkins is my bet to win this. Body shots were key!
