How did I not hear about this? When is the fight set for? Is this a PPV? What weight class will this be at? No matter what weight Pavlik KO 6
It was fianlized 2 weeks ago, have you been under a rock? Catch weight 170 lbs. PPV in Atlantic City, Boardwalk Hall and I'M GOING!!
I say Pavlik wins a clear UD and Bernard gets beaten pretty good but lasts until the final bell. Hopkins could hurt Pavlik along the way and might even drop him. In the end, Pavlik beats him down.
a boring SD or MD to pav in my opinion, think it'll be a hug fest on hopkins side and sneak in shots and pavlik will not do any where near enough to win but the american judges will give him the victor to keep up that ridiclouse "great white american" superstar that everyone in america wants to see. Remember where you read it, i can see it happening for sure
Pavlik has been trying to make a fight with everyone and this seems to be the Biggest Paid Day of all the opponent mentioned. Pavlik by UD - no one beats down B-Hop. And if he underestimates B-Hop - he'll **** around and lose the fight.
Pavlik has been trying to get a fight with a lot recently and Hopkins is the only fight they could get. Calzaghe refused it for a fight with Jones, Winky priced his self out as usual and Abraham has to fight his mandatory and will be ready after it(if he's victorious of course, which I think he will be). This case has been popular and discussed a lot in the past few weeks.
This fight has been discussed for a while. Only way you could've missed all the talk about this fight is if you haven't been on the site in a few weeks
Gotta give Hopkins props for taking the fight to a degree. Yes he's doing it for the money and is probably pretty confident that with his style it's unlikely he'll face real damage. But that said, Pavlik is a prime dangerous hard hitting top fighter whom could not only hurt Hopkins , butcould force his retirement. Hopkins could have easily retired or stayed in the background until some 'seniour tour type fight' materialized (like vs Jones which could probably be made if Jones is even competitive with Calzaghe).
I'm picking Hopkins sneaky straight right to crack Pavlik's chin. Hopkins by KO! But if they do go to the cards, I think the judges will give it to Pavlik, despite Hopkins landing the cleaner more effective blows.
