So is Pavli/Hopkins scheduled for 10 or 12?

It says 12 rounds on the ESPN boxing schedule, but I've also heard it was 10.

 

Good question, this does need clarification.

I too have heard the people involved saying 10, and the outlets saying 12.

 

It should be 12. Abraham-Miranda was 12 despite not being a title fight.

If it's 10 rounds then Hopkins would definately win.

 

10 rounds that is stupid

 

atsch

 

For Hopkins sake, i hope it's 10.

 

Boxrec says it's 12. This fight makes no sense as a 10 rounder, being on PPV and all. So I'm pretty much sure that its a 12 rounder. These days you dont need to have a title on the line to make a fight go 12.

 

boy, 12 rounder I belive, if this is for ten, it will be a year or so before all title fights are reduce to ten rounders, than 8 ete lol.

 

I get the impression Hopkins wanted it reduced but no word that it has been.

 

Hopefully it's a one rounder.

 

I saw an interview with pavlik where he mentioned it was going to be 10 rounds, I find that odd, specially since its a PPV. It should favor Hopkins though, his been fading late and he knows he needs to increase his punch output to have any chance of winning, a 10 round fight will allow him to do that.

 

I wouldn't imagine Hopkins wanting a 10 rounder.

Hopkin's in his later years has always been a slow starter, excellent finisher. Against Taylor, Pavlik showed he could be a fast starter, bad finisher.

Forget Joe Calzaghe (even though 2 of the 4 rounds I scored for Hopkins were 11 and 12) - Hopkins has excellent endurance and won't fade late in comparison to Pavlik.

Shorter fight favours Pavlik.

 

From what, ass sniffer? How did you "get that impression?"

 

This is a question I've been asking regarding both this fight and Oscar/Pac, even if they will be 12 rounders what title will be on the line for both fights?
