Who is going to train Bernard???

Roache stated in his last fight against Calzaghe that Nard knows everything there is about the game. They are just fine tuning and working on some strategies.

I heard Chuck Norris was available.

 

That's the point and it's only getting worse. But judging by Pavlik's style in the ring I'm still picking Hopkins to win this though he will really need to stay active to back this man up and wek now how hard Pavlik can hit but will he be able to land anything?

Only the late rounds and Hopkins' stamina will decide, just hope it won't be ugly.

 

I think McGirt would be good as an assistant. He seems to have his fighters thinking something else is going on during the fight then what actually is happening maybe hes to emotinally attatched to them and doesnt wanna hurt there confidence although hes ruining there chances to win fights. As a fighter I know it you think ok I landed 2 big shots it gives you confidence and you kinda forget what happened to you until you go in the corner and are told everything your doing wrong.

 

You think Norris will bother with this?

 

I hope he fights like he did vs Tarver he put up a decent work rate in every single round instead of just 6 or 7 and he showed alittle agression which was needed. He fought it like it was the last fight of his life and this one just might be it lets hope the best Bernard Hopkins shows up. Im not a fan of his but I respect him hes a joy to watch when he isnt clinching cause hes so crafty.

 

I enjoy watching Bernard too, most people hate it but I really enjoy watching someone crafty, you never know what could happen like the very first round vs Calzaghe proved and his 5th round vs Tarver.

Hopkins has a great chance here, I really don't understand why Pavlik's team took this fight, they seem to take this as a tune-up to be honest after failing to get other fights. If Hopkins fights the way he did against Tarver without running out of gas late then this fight is his from start to finish but I highly doubt it. Hopkins ran out of gas vs both Wright and Calzaghe, you can't afford running out of gas and being inactive in there against a dangerous puncher like Pavlik.

 

Well **** you never know he might not need the gas tank. Ive never been sold on Pavlik chin I seen him somewhat buzzed vs McKart and Zertuche and of course badly hurt vs Taylor IMO Bernards a bigger puncher then all 3. Pavliks kinda straight up and open to counter Bernard could catch him and beat him up maybe even stop him I would not be shocked. Ive only seen Hopkins in with 1 fighter that was better then him that being RJJ even though he lost to Taylor and Calzaghe you can see if Bernard had his early age stamina these fights are whipe outs.

 

Pavlik can be hurt for sure but Bernard is not stupid to go for broke, he saves his stamina well enough to last 12 rounds. Taylor made that mistake and landed everything on Pavlik in the 2nd but couldn't really finish him off. Bernard won't make that mistake even if he hurts Pavlik, he will look to win this by decision and if a KO comes then it comes which is highly doubtful here, it will take more than one flush shot to drop Pavlik, it might hurt him but he lands to waste a lot of energy and in his age it's a huge risk to take and one Bernard won't bother with regardless of how hurt Pavlik is.

At this point it doesn't matter. No trainer is going to show the executioner anything new. He'd probably be just the same training himself

 

At what point during which round was Pavlik buzzed by McKart or Zertuche? Show me.

Answer to the question is in Bigbon's thread. He just posted the interview.
