    Not sure what YOUR problem is, but since the fight was announced the only person I heard say it was 10 was Hopkins. That is when all of the questioning started.

    So is it ten or Twelve? I'm still none the wiser, and it will influence how I bet.

    You got that backasswards. Pavlik didn't have a bad finish against Taylor, he hurt Taylor in the 11th with that body shot and won the fight because of the last couple rounds. If anything, he wasn't hitting as hard because he injured his hand in the middle of the fight. With Hopkins being >15years older than Pavlik, I think Hopkins will fade more as the fight goes on. Pavlik has excellent stamina.

    That's only because he has no stamina, so he's started slow so he still have something left in the tank for the later rounds. In every fight since DLH, Hopkins has taken multiple rounds off completely. If it's only 10 rounds, then he won't need to take as many rounds off, and stands a much better chance of winning.

    Whats the story with Freddie Roach?? I remember him sayin he wouldnt train B-Hop because he thinks after the calzaghe fight he was too old and went to the wrong corner a few times. Is he goin to train B-Hop for this fight???

    I have heard it argued that than Kelly can step up his own pace that much more as well although I think twelve is better for Kelly

    also, if its not twelve that stinks

    its a huge fight it should be twelve rounds
