    Well Hopkins wanted no part of Dawson yet Pascal beat Dawson so i'm thinking there's something in Pascal's style that Benard believes he can take advantage of, i can never count Benard out even at 45, he has never been blown out in any fight, pretty much all of his losses have been very close on the cards, at the end of the day this old kat knows how to win, look to see Hopkins employ his usual tatics, dirty fighting, inside fighting, a little acting, all in an attempt to control the pace and make it a slow measured fight, if Pascal falls into this trap Benard wins a decision.

    I think Pascal has to go out very, very aggressive and attempt to knock B-Hop out at the very least out-work him every round, if he tries to out think him he's in trouble, my prediction is a close fight with the old dog getting his last moment of glory by way of Majority Decision.

    Personally I don't think Pascal shows as much respect to Hopkins like he did Dawson. People are really underestimating Pascal in this matchup and overrating Hopkins. Hopkins hasn't beaten a legit light heavyweight since '06 and is 45 years old. Pascal is a dangerous man. I heard he's so fast that he can turn the lightswitch off and still have time to get to bed before the light goes out completely.
