    A very good one.

    Kelly is still too green for the Hopkins and Calzaghe's even at this late stage in their careers.

    Currently Pavlik is quite easy to read and predictable at what he does, also he is pretty onepaced.

    I hope Pavlik wins and kos Bernard but i have a feeling Hopkins is going to claim a UD.

    BHop wins early rounds, but ends up a TKO late rounds. I think Kelly suprises everyone and shows a bit of versatility.

    If Hopkins is hit in the stomach and claims a low blow and rolls around on the canvas for a few minutes with an Oscar winning performance I give 5% chance he might win by DQ

    I think this poll will show the greatest discrepancy...which is understandable. Is Pavlik for real? Can he really take a couple of punches? How does he deal in the hustle? Does Hopkins still have the legs? Will he get away with the crap he got away with against Calzaghe? I think Hopkins will be kept true by the ref. He will test Pavlik for a couple of rounds, then gas and lose round after round, perhaps with the odd good round towards the end. Pavlik by 4-5 rounds.

    :lol:

    ...except that Pavlik will not be sold down the river by the establishment that has a big stake in him. They'll pull Hopkins up for everything dodgy in this fight, I think.

    When this fight was first made - I just thought Pavlik would outwork BHop and not so much as beat him up.

    As the fight gets closer - I'm starting to lean towards BHop.

    So, I'm giving him a 50% chance at winning this fight.

    I might lean more his way the closer we get to the actual fight.
