Who's ready for Pascal-Hopkins?

can you prove it was all planned? Your telling me hopkins called up calzaghe and said, look i'm going to say i'll never let a white boy beat me, before it happened?

the evidence says he's a racist or at the very least a massive massive ****, Imagine if joe had said, i'll never let a black boy beat me, now that would have got people talking. Ibelieve he took losing to a white guy harder than he would a black.

 

Alway good to see a ****ing legend / veteran take on a young fresh animal like pascal. In ****ing montreal. He's been around the block, been in wars. One of best middle weight champs of all time. what was it 20 Str8 defenses. Has had a great chin is whole carrer.

There's NO doubt in B hops mind about losing this fight. War and fight of the year NO DOUBT

 

Do I know 100% for fact that it was planned? No I don't.

Do you know 100% for fact that Hopkins is a racist?

Unless you can provide any further evidence to support your claim it is my suggestion that is more feasible.

 

Hopkins wins this.

There's a reason why he's taken this one, after all :hey

Given that Pascal often leaps in with his punches and doesn't have great stamina I can see why he believes this too.

 

that and that he believes manny is scared of black fighters leads me to believe he somehow sees blacks and whites different. maybe he isn't racist but I really hope he gets a beating.

 

I'm still not that convinced by Pascal. He definately looks better up at 175 than he did when he fought Froch down at SMW - he seems a lot more muscular and punches with more authority. He basically got outmanned by Froch the Neanderthal in their fight and faded down the stretch.

Looked good against Dawson in patches but those patches were again early in the fight. Dawson came close to knocking Pascal down on a few occasions before the headbutt. When Pascal was at his best in that fight, he was quick to find Dawson with fast looking counterpunches and sometimes leapt in from distance. And that's his problem.

Hopkins is a master at waiting, judging the distance and timing his opponent when he leaps in from distance. Even early against RJJ (a fight that people make an example out of to the negative for Hopkins) he moved very well and made RJJ miss with everything. If Pascal thinks he can walk all over Hopkins then he's in for a very rude awakening, even this version of Hopkins. Pascal will have his moments in this fight and I see him winning early rounds, but he's going to get countered to **** from the mid-rounds onwards.

If he stays on his feet, Pascal will win a hometown decision but it will be close and people on the GF will cry robbery. If Hopkins can get into rythem and time Pascal from the start, he can break his heart and break him down.

I think Hopkins has enough left and the smarts to pull this off.
