Pavlik-Hopkins happening at LHW?

It will pretty much lose his fight

 

Well, catchweight of 170. Loew said Pavlik's punches don't have the same snap. I don't think it will affect him too much though.

 

As I said in another thread I worry for Hopkins in this one. I see him making Pavlik look bad and perhaps being the more impressive fighter in terms of quality output but the fact is the guy at 43 just cannot keep up, and with Pavlik's punch output I see him winning a decision based pretty much on his work-rate.

I mean if Calzaghe got a split based on his punch output and aggressiveness then I fail to see how the new American boxing hope won't get the nod if it goes to the card.

 

Pavilik should be ashamed he let his promoter put him in with a 43 yr old fighter. Bob Arum is full of so much sh*t. We have the middleweight Champion of the world moving up in weight to fight at a catch weight for no title. a shame

 

Oh god! If you think that is an excuse to move up as the middleweight champion to fight a 43 yr old fighter at a catch weight with no title on the line then you will excuse anything.:huh

 

Pavlik has his hands full with Bernard

 

He's freakin 43 yrs old. Calzaghe and pavilik should be ashamed of themselves. Moving up to fight a 43 yr old fighter. And for Joe another 40 yr old Jones? No no no! :-(

 

Joe is 36 himself and was moving up in weight as you say.

Hopkins is still a tremendous fighter.

 

Joe is 36 and moving up against a 43 yr old who just recently moved up. There is a big difference between 43 and 36.atsch I cant belive people are defending this:huh
