I assume by the time the fight come everyone will have forgotten about the knock downs and effective counters that Pascal was landing all night and will basically be in agreement that as long as Nard says on his feet and pitty-pats pascal he should be given the decision...its just the right thing to do.
When I made my video, I had to watch the fight several times. The last 6 rounds, Tarver and the crew didn't stop to give positif comments to Hopkins. It's your right to believe he's hating him, but in my opinion, if your right. Tarver did a hell of a job to hide is hating toward Hopkins in december 18th.
Bhops is a smart thinking veteran fighter. After the first fight he should have figured out by now how to win more rounds next time they fight.
I expect Pascal to have learned something from their first fight and possbly outwork Pascal. I seriously doubt we'll get another draw, though. My brain wants to say Pascal changes pace and pulls a close decision, but my gut says to go with Hopkins again.
I predicted a Hopkins-UD for the first fight, and Im sticky by that for the second. Unless Hopkins slows down even more than he already has, I cant see Pascal doing any better than last time. But thats 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, but 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.
